That's actually a really good idea. It would be neat to see that implemented.
It's my job
(soon)I have headphones that came with my iPhone, but that's it. My brother's gone through a few pairs of expensive headphones and none of them have been all too reliable. None of them were bad companies either. Also as a huge fan of music and musical compositions of video games and movies, I'm quite aware of the affect of music. I was in band all throughout high school and am still in one today.
You don't need anything fancy. I use the $20 Skullcandy ones (not in-ear) and they work just fine. It's depressing trying to listen to music on them but they do the job for gaming. Still, TV speakers will do if you don't have that option. I'm the same on that last part.

I wasn't trying to say I wouldn't play the game, I was just speculating what appealed to me the most initially without hands-on experience. I've seen the metacritic reviews on the Dead Space series; the first two games have great ratings. What are the graphical requirements for the first game though? My dad's desktop isn't very powerful.
Just wanted to make sure you didn't think it was too action-ey. The second is too much so for me, and DS3.. I will never play. I'm not sure about the requirements, but it's a very old game. You can probably find them on the Steam Store. IMO horror games should be played with a controller.
Believe me, I often do this far too much. This isn't an issue with me
Awesome. I just wish games tried harder to facilitate this. Dead Space's menus are in-game as projections from Isaac's suit. I can't think of any similar uses.
