GamesRadar: This is a tie-in title that handles its property with both the upmost respect and ingenuity, paying careful homage to what was while also expanding upon it in organic and interesting ways. Take the game's flamethrower, for example. A crucial element of the movie, Computer Artworks makes this tool an indispensable part of your arsenal. Without it you haven’t a snowball's chance in hell of besting many of the game's enemies. Instead, players must first learn to soften up their targets - via conventional weapons - before switching over to the ol' toaster to put them down for good.
The first thing you soon realize when talking about the best PS2 horror games is that as a whole, the PS2 might just be the best console the genre ever saw.
Resident Evil 4 is a turning point in the series, perfectly blending action with survival horror. With a new over-the-shoulder perspective, gripping storyline, and intense gameplay, the game offers a unique experience as players follow Leon S. Kennedy on a mission to rescue the president's daughter from a mysterious cult. This game reshaped the action-horror genre.
Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor. Wealth of Geeks runs down some of the most disappointing cancelations that kept anticipated sequels in the dark.
The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.
And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)
They may not be as remembered by the vast majority as other classics, but these PlayStation 2 titles are still significant.
A good number of these games are pretty well-known in the gaming community. I don't know who this 'no one' is, but they might not have been a gamer during the time of the PS2. ICO? The Warriors? BULLY?!? C'mon now.
Not one of these is pretty "forgotten". But what you can forget are bad lists that need 15 clicks.
Because the approval system is fundamentally flawed. The amount shouldn't decrease for approval over time, nobody should be able to have more than one vote, and pending content should be more visible so those measures don't feel necessary to push through less immediately popular pieces.
The number of ways this system can be intentionally or accidentally abused so crap like this can get through has been ridiculous for ages now.
The title is misleading, it should be 15 best ps2 that you always ignored (hence the title of the video).
These games are not unknow but often left out when talking PS2 great game.
The warrior is a great game but let's be frank just mention it in a discussion amongs friends and half the crowd will go " OMG I forgot about that! "
I think that's just a factor of time. Most movies from the 80s/90s that are great are like that with me as well. They're still great, just been so much between now and then that you can't keep it all at the forefront of your mind.
15 games on 15 pages? F*** that. I'll save you a click:
The Thing
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly
Twisted Metal Black
ICO
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
Transformers
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Red Dead Revolver
War of the Monsters
XIII
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
The Warriors
Bully
Agreed. Some heroes put on their pants one leg at a time like the rest of us. Thank you.
I remember and know all the game exceot War of the Monsters...
But maybe my name is "no one"
Last time I checked (a year ago) War of the Monsters was available to buy as a ps2 classic on the ps store. Know I've still got my disc copy and fairly sure it's in my digital library
This video game journalist must not know any gamers, not be on any gaming sites, and is probably young only know of these games because of an older sibling.
None of those games are forgotten and most are spoken of fondly fairly often.
I loved this game enough for a couple of play-throughs. There was one bug that particularly irritated me though -there was one character that I went to great lengths to protect but every time I managed to get him through the entire level, which was very difficult, and got into an elevator with him, he was never there when the door opened into the next area. I guess the game assumed he would never survive and he was never scripted beyond that point.
Great game nonetheless and very deserving of a remake.
Seen this game in so many article during the past week. Actually got around playing it a hour or two and it seems good.
At times gave me similar vibes as the AVP2 game (marines campaign) on PC.
The game might be fun...but it in no way pays the "upmost respect" to the property. It turns The Thing into an X-Files rip off, and cheapens the story and the ending of the original.
Better than the Prequel movie isn't exactly a glowing recommendation. Dental surgery with not quite enough anaesthesia is better than the Prequel movie.
This was actually one of my favorite games back in the day. I also remember the suffering that was a great horror game too
Yeah, I really enjoyed The Suffering and it's sequel The Suffering: Ties That Bind. Two of the best horror games of the generation.
