Official description
Only the Dead Survive.
A massive deep-space mining ship goes dark after unearthing a strange artifact on a distant planet. Engineer Isaac Clarke embarks on the repair mission, only to uncover a nightmarish blood bath — the ship's crew horribly slaughtered and infected by alien scourge. Now Isaac is cut off, trapped, and engaged in a desperate fight for survival.
* Strategically dismember the Necromorph enemies limb by bloody limb.
* Zero gravity combat means terror can strike from anywhere.
* Uncover the horrific truth of this shocking thriller.

Comment
achillesheelfoes / dismemberment — this is the only way you can defeat the necromorphs, by shooting or otherwise ripping off all their limbs. Just shooting at their head or torso won't help much (much like with zombies).
technomagic — (tele)kinesis and stasis devices, the latter of which literally creates a temporal distortion that significantly slows down the passge of time for the targeted object or creature (ergo, slowing their movements down to crawl).

limited supplies — happens only with ammo in case you use single weapon exclusively (you can carry 4). Otherwise you have plenty of ammo around.
faceless protagonist — you can rotate the camera early on in the in-game cinematic portion to point towards the back of the ship when Isaac hasn't donned his helmet yet, showing his face clearly.

Editor notes (3)
Finishing the game on hard difficulty unlocks impossible difficulty (as well as giving 50k credits, 10 power nodes and military suit). What that entails, however, is unknown.

There has been several animated comics and apparently they're making a direct-to-DVD/Bluray animated film as well to cover the back story (and so far it seems like they're selling the movie separately). I truly hope these are included in the final game, I hate to miss out on the plot simply because the people want to make more money out of it.
