System Shock 2 was phenominal. Imagine Deus Ex:HR, but with deeper RPG elements and 1,000% more horror. The sounds alone would freak me out :)

I played SS1 and 2 pretty close to their original release dates, Well more so System Shock 2 I was 4 when SS1 was out lol, and I have never been more disturbed in a game in my entire life. Outstanding games on PC

I recall reading somewhere that Bioshock is like the spiritual successor to system shock.
But sounds awesome never played it though

BladedTech5301d ago

I've always wanted to play these games. The only reason I haven't is because of the systems they are on.

Shodan is the greatest computer game villain(ess?) of all time.

It's a shame when people are like "Who is Shodan?" Makes me ill, in fact.

Why isn't this on steam ? ***off to google***

BakedGoods5302d ago

Check out GoG.com

EA just signed a deal with them, this week they're slowly releasing old school games. I'm hoping SS2 will be one of them.

Don't really agree on Dead Space being number one. But usually come down to preference. Alot of good games on the list. I was hoping to see Aliens vs Predator by Sierra on the list, as it was a great game. Anyways for me the number one is still Halo but Mass Effect was really good up to the infamous ending of the third game.

Rebel_Scum1818d ago

I would put Flashback on my list. Its got such a great tone and background design. The cutscenes were pretty good too.

DEAD SPACE 2 as number 1? Really? I've only ever played DEAD SPACE 1 (without finishing it) and, sure enough I liked it a lot, and have been yearning for getting to grips with an hd remastered trilogy for the PS4/XBox One/PS5/XBox Series X/S, but what about Deus Ex Human Revolution & Mankind Divided? Alienation (to quench our thirst for twitching fingers' top-down dual-stick shooters)? Or even Cyberpunk 2077 (once the game has been re-released and all the kinks have been ironed out)?

If not at the #1 spot, it seems to me these games deserved to be on the list somewhere.

But what really strikes me as unfair is, if you're going back to the PS3/XBox 360 era with DS2, how could you forget to mention Killzone 2 & 3? The Resistance games? When it comes to Sci-Fi FPS, it's inadequate not to pay your respects to those stellar franchises! Heck, even the Crysis trilogy should've been there IMHO.

House if the Dead 3 + HotD Overkill + PS3 & PS Move =😎

Not "frightening" but fun.

RE7 VR. I'm getting impatient for the RE8 VR reveal!

I also wish they'd hurry up and officially announce/patch Alien Isolation for VR.

TallDarknWavy1956d ago

Honestly, nothing was better designed for sheer psychological horror than the PT demo.
I really hope I can transfer it to PS5.

Fatal Frame! If anyone ever gets the chance, there was a remake of II on the Wii. I suggest a modded Wii/U, or emulator. That, and Fatal Frame 4, are two of the scariest games ever made, hands down. Like "F this, why am I even playing this" scary.
