So apparently, Dead Space suddenly came up with the idea to make the antagonist of the series some strange things called "Brethren Moons". They are essentially the final form in Necromorph evolution and are the entire reason for the Necromorph infestations. And they are, yes, you guessed it, living organic moons.

How does this copy Mass Effect you say? Well lets add the fact that there are many Brethren Moons. They are an ancient species. They are giant Chutulu like monstrosities that are somewhat beyond human understanding. New Brethren Moons are created when an entire species is harvested. They have wiped out countless species in the past. Their plans to harvest this current species (humanity was halted by the previous Cycle...ah, I mean species. And finally, they are now apparently "awakening" after having one destroyed by Isaac.

I mean come on, while I enjoy the whole idea behind the Brethren Moons, it seems like they were somewhat ruined by the utterly blatant similarities to the Reapers. Even if you are disagreeing with me on the scale of this copying, you have to admit that they have some very close similarities to the Reapers. Added by the fact that Dead Space is an EA game...well, you get the point.
