IMO Deadspace is not survival horror. Its much closer to a space marine shooter.
Those are all good games.
I do see DS as survival horror. First, Issac is not a Marine, he is in fact an engineer. Most of his "weapons" are simply power tools, and very few are military grade armaments. And he is not fighting a traditional military enemy--all of the fighting is against zombie like monsters. It is quite clear that much of his equipment is not intended for this.
Imagine if the Master Chief or Duke Nukem were there fighting the Necromorphs--no contest pretty much.
