    And it's been a while since I bought a new game.

    On the one hand, we have "The Callisto Protocol", which looks
    interesting, even if it is an obvious clone of "Dead Space". But its
    Indie pedigree also makes it look the less polished product.

    On the other hand, "Dead Space" is a remake, and - as much as I
    enjoyed the original game - buying it again a second time just for
    some slight added graphical fidelity doesn't sit right with me.

    So... do I get the new but imperfect game or the game I know I like
    but have already played that's just a graphics overhaul?

    It's gonna be one of the two, but which one should I go with? Choices, choices...

    Isn't situations like this why we still have coins?

    Both "The Callisto Protocol" and the "Dead Space" remake are on sale.

    I own both but haven't gotten to Callisto -- or actually I played through Dead Space 3x (to see the alternate ending) on EAPlayPro, don't own it. DS
    is highly polished, with no bugs, and has lots of fun weapon choices to play with, while Callisto is short and linear so they say. I'd say pick DS now,
    and Callisto next sale.

    I don't understand why you don't have or are not choosing DS3!?

    I think it is fantastic like the other two.

    Have you read the reviews on The Callisto Protocol Spalls?
