Dead Space (series)/Awesome

Dead Space 1

 * The boss fights are definitely a CMOA for Isaac Clarke. Clarke, an engineer manages to defeat creatures that slaughter pretty much anything else in their way.
 * When you finally kill the hunter it makes you feel pretty goshdarn good.
 * New Game Plus modus can be one for Isaac right at the start of the game. Image Isaac, arriving to a routine job with a Level 5 Suit designed for work in very hostile environments and highly upgraded mining tools, giving him an aura of being Crazy Prepared.
 * Likewise being able to just take out the first Necromorphs that attack you instead of running away.
 * While it is a bit of a bummer that Isaac doesn't play a role in  watching   be completely liquified by the   in the last chapter can definitely be considered a CMOA.

Dead Space: mobile
"Vandal: (Mortally wounds the final boss) "Great... C'mon, you bastard. I can do this ALL DAY.""
 * Vandal taking down the final boss in the Interquel for the iPhone.

Dead Space 2
"Isaac:"
 * Early on, you come across a video teaching you how to impale Necromorphs with their own limbs. On the surface, it's just a tutorial, but the context is where it gets awesome. The engineer who recorded it was fatally wounded, and while he could still stand he decided to show anyone who might come by a way to survive these creatures. Engineers in the Dead Space universe are badass.
 * Now, with Stross spending so much time away from you, it's pretty much a given something bad's going to happen what with the Sanity Slippage. Come the mines, suddenly Stross appears on the other side of a gate with fucking EYEBALL impaled on a screwdriver! You think something terrible has happened? Wrong!  I think I'm in love.
 * Isaac gets one right from the start. Waking up in a straight-jacket, the man rescuing him turns into a Slasher Necromorph right before his eyes and gets ready to kill him. His response? Headbutt the fucker! Need I remind you that he ISN'T wearing his helmet at this point.
 * As well necromorphs are only inconvenienced by the removal of their heads in the game, they suffer a momentary stun for less than a second and just blindly slash in your direction.
 * In the very first chapter, Isaac,  So much for Issac's career being an Informed Ability.
 * On the Isaac front again, shortly after reactivating the solar array Isaac must hurry back to Ellie. Of course, there's no time to run all the way back, is there? Isaac tells Ellie he's got it covered and After it's done Isaac stays crouched on the ground, as if to say 'Yeah, I just did that. I am a monster truck that walks like a man.' Unfortunately Ellie doesn't comment and the trailers featured it. The sequence can be seen here with appropriate accompanying music.
 * The final boss, in which Isaac

"Issac: Yeah."
 * Not only that, but just after winning the boss fight, the game heavily implies
 * What? No mention of Chapter 2? Where


 * The climax of Chapter 5, when Isaac finally meets Daina. The HSQ is about as high as it gets in the game, here.  That whole bit one one breathless extended Crowning Moment of Awesome.
 * In Severed,.
