Golden Age of Survival Horror

My collection has grown a bit since last year. Expanding from only "true" survival horror titles to also include generally horror themed games. There is just something with this genre of games that peak my interest. No matter if the horror is primarily action oriented (Resident Evil), psychological (Silent Hill) or existential (Litte Britan). Which title is your favourite?

Little Britaain is so scary it makes me physically sick

I agree, Little Britain was horrific.

Silent Hill 2 have special place in my heart. Absolute masterpiece.

Great collection.i have like a third of what you show, but I'm not a huge survival horror fan (I live alone lol).

I recommend second sight, its not survival horror, more of a psychological thriller. But it's a great game

Also both manhunt games qualify as survival horror, on the gore side of things

Haunted Mansion is one of those surprisingly great licensed Disney games. Spooked me as a kid and still fun to play today.

The price for this collection must be crazy! I’ve tried to get my hands on some of those titles and they’re pricey to say the least

Oh hell yeah, Siren and Siren 2. Beat those recently, fantastic games.

Echo Night and Haunting Ground cost too much for proper alphebetization

Code Veronica > 4

Nice, Michigan report from hell and rule of rose are still my holy grails to get. I'd suggest zombie attack or zombie zone next

I loved The Thing but I swear, it would always cause my lens on the fat ps2 to move and I would need to re-adjust it before playing non-blue disk games.

It’s the only game I had that would do that. Iirc mvc2 was also blue disk but I never had that problem

I don't see this in your collection but way back in like 2007 I borrowed a survival horror game from a friend and can't for the life of me remember what it is.

All I remember is that you are a guy at a private school or something similar and there is this black flower that everyone takes as a drug (I think) and when this guy does it the world changes into some dark/creepy alternate world.

Any horror PS2 buffs have any ideas?

Now that's a legit set of games!

Little Britain? How’s that a horror game?

Did you play through all of them? What would be your Top Ten list? I‘m still working on my PS2 wishlist. Personally I don’t plan to buy every horror game but to have at least all the games I like.

Damn nice collection u have there

My brother in Christ, where is RE4?!

EDIT: I’ve never seen that cover art before! Sick.

I haven’t played Resident Evil Dead Aim, Survivor, or Outbreak. How are they?

The Thing doesn't get enough love!

It was a great game to a great movie!

I'm a bit confused about little Britain, been here.

where's fatal frame

You know they're a chad when they got Gregory Horror Show

nice collection!

Only missing rule of rose, me to btw...

I only have 4 of these but I have 1 you are missing, Galerians:Ash 😉

Wow that's a sexy collection you got there

I'm saving this picture for reference

The suffering hell yeah

[removed]

Man little britain was really intense. I mean can you imagine those "british people" actually existing i would be really scared. Thank the good lord its just fiction

Yes I’ve been playing the thing on ps2 emulation on one of the 5 android phones I use for gameboys now lol

What's Curse the Eye of Isis like? Any good?

I love this post. I also have 19 of these games

Any go for a decent price anymore?

I enjoyed extermination and the suffering.

I didn’t know Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare got a PS2 release. In the U.S we only got it on PS1

Golden age of a lot of stuff. Rhythm; Kart; Puzzle; Fighting; Mecha; Movie, TV & Cartoon tie-ins/franchises; Platforming; Action-Adventure; RPG; Racing; Compilations; New IPs; Survival Horror; Sim; MMO; 3rd Person Shooter; First Person Shooter? (Probably, right? Such a variety...), etc.

PS2 just had such volume, and GCN & Xbox added their own chart toppers, new genres, new IPs, etc. Part of me misses that era of walking into a used game store and finding a literal stack of hidden gems and hilarity to take home on the cheap. Looking back, kind of bothers me to think that all of that was sold at full price at some point.

Indie/small dev games becomming the new "oh my gosh this bin is full of things I've never even knew existed" is fine, too. The industry really left that low-tier stuff behind for low-budget studios to take on, an have condensed "what sells" down to a science for all of the "triple-A" stuff.

Video games are neat.

Obscure has lived up to it's name. Obscure, but hella underrated game. One of the greatest soundtracks for horror games ever, coop mode and good story. Shame this game never hit the charts

Do you happen to have...ah... Infestation? RE Like game in a snow base

I couldn’t finish little Britain as a kid , it was too scary for me to even play ….

You need the Onimusha games, great series !

Little Britain is literally the scariest game to play out of all of these games. Couldn't sleep for days after playing it! Truly horrifying stuff!

I'm playing the thing right now on my Ayn odin. Extremely advanced for it's time

Nice collection. Gotta get Michigan, though. What a wonderfully cheesy horror game from the early days of Suda.

Sooooo many great ones

Holy hell this is a great collection

By far the shortest lived mainstream genre in gaming.

Resident Evil 1 was the mega hit that popularized the genre. Silent Hill 2 was the genre masterpiece. Resident Evil 4 (no hate for RE4 great game) killed it by focusing more on the action side of Survival Horror.

1996 - 2005.
