    Impressive Horror/Survival Horror Games For the PS3

    After recently watching the trailers to PC games Among the Sleep, Amnesia (obviously already out) and Asylum (possibly the scariest 4 minutes of my life!), I began scouring the Internet for something wonderful and meaningful in this genre that I could play on my PS3.

    And um...

    There's not a lot out there. Especially ones made recently. And especially especially ones that aren't completely action-shooter based (which I'm ok with. I guess. I play games generally for the story though).

    With Until Dawn, the Last of Us, Project Zwei and the re-release of Deadly Premonition on the horizon, is there anything out there currently that can fill this void in my video game collection?

    Or do I need to buy a gaming PC...

    Says to self, "Please don't make me buy a gaming PC!"

    The demo for Saw II: Flesh & Blood was pretty fun.

      But this thread is about helping me and others find impressive and meaningful games.



      Thanks for the response Blzer. I love the film series, but felt the first game at least fell pretty short in the quality department. A couple of my friends and most reviews said that the second was even worse.

        Guess the obvious answer would be all 3 Dead Space games if you haven't played them. Played the 1st and 2nd one and I would rank them as the top 2 horror games I've played this generation.
        My Teams
        NCAA: Arkansas Razorbacks
        MLB: St. Louis Cardinals
        NFL: Dallas Cowboys
        .
        .
        .
        NBA: Memphis Grizzlies

          Get a PS2 and I'll give you a bunch of suggestions.

          The industry has turned their back on a lot of genres in recent years because.... well ACTION sells !! RPGs, horror games, tactical shooters...

          As for the ps3 you have Siren: Blood Curse, Condemned 2 and Dead Space 1 (heard 2 & 3 strayed further away from horror)

            Well yeah, I mean part of the problem, as you said, is that there really aren't many games out there. I wish I could help you out more.

              Dead Space, Dead Island, The Last of Us, though they aren't really horror..

              Bioshock?

                Silent Hill II

                Two of the best for PS2.

                    Condemned 2 Bloodshot was a pretty creepy game that gave me some good jumps.

                      A friend of mine said he'd lend me his Silent Hill collection for PS3. I love Silent Hill 2. Can't wait to dive into that one again!

                      Are any of the Fatal Frame's out on PS3 in any capacity?

                        Where have you been all my life? Some marketing team really messed this one up. Just watched a 15 minute(ish) long review of Blood Curse. Wow! And an episodic game at that!

                        PSN. You have money coming your way. Take that to the bank! Thanks guys.

                        I hope it's as good as it looks.

                        Keep the suggestions coming. Ideally, I'd like to something that *could* make me cry.

                        Not that I'd really cry. I'm a man.

                        Ok. If it's good enough, I might. Just putting that out there.

                          IIRC,there's also a demo that you can check out. It's a pretty good game,but for some reason it never gets a price drop...lol....I believe it's still $40 (if I'm not mistaken)
                          People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.

                            $40

                            For a game made almost 5 years ago (5 years ago, right?)?

                            Okay. PSN. I know I said, "Take it to the bank". But what I really meant to say was, "Wait a little bit. Relax. I'll hit you up. Friday. Or maybe Saturday. Or maybe the week after next. It's all good! You know I'm good for it."

                            Thanks for the update. I'll get it, but that's a bit steep. Yikes!
