Dead Space works on the Kindle Fire. This was one of the first games I purchased for my son from the Amazon App Store to illustrate the power of the Kindle Fire. Oddly, the game is currently unavailable on the Amazon App Store (

1 GB is actually pretty generous because when it comes to Android Apps, most of them are on the order of a few hundred KB, with some all the way to about 15 - 20 MB. App developers that are App storage conscious will make their App installs very small and place App data in external storage instead.
To put this into perspective, only the Dead Space App is installed on the App partition in Android.
The App itself only uses 316 KB of App Storage! (Settings --> More (+) --> Applications --> All Applications --> Find and Touch Dead Space). However, the game data is installed on the larger User Data (SD Card aka external storage) partition and the App fetches it from there.
