Does anybody have a complete list of PS2 horror titles
My favorite games to collect are RPGs and horror games and I'm trying to go for a complete collection. I was wondering if anybody had a complete list of NTSC horror titles for the PS2.
A lot of this is going to depend on what you personally define as "horror", but I've been on the same quest for a couple of years and this is what I have, in no real order:
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4
Silent Hill: Origins
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Fatal Frame
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterflies
Fatal Frame III: The Tormented
Extermination
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Resident Evil 4 (regular and special edition)
Resident Evil: Dead Aim
Resident Evil: Outbreak
Resident Evil: Outbreak File #2
Resident Evil Gun Survivor
Resident Evil Gun Survivor 2
Siren
Siren II: Forbidden Siren (PAL and JP only)
Michigan: Report From Hell (JP and PAL only)
Kuon
Echo Night: Beyond
Rule of Rose
Hunting Ground
Clock Tower
Obscure
Oscure: The Aftermath
The Thing
Galerians: Ash
Baroque
Akai Ito (JP only)
Lifeline
Shadow Tower: Abyss (JP only)
Alone in the Dark: New Nightmare
Alone in the Dark (remake)
Cold Fear
The Suffering (kinda)
Manhunt (also kinda)
Manhunt 2 (also also kinda)
It's a good thing that you're stopping at NTSC, because it gets weird when you start considering the multitude of sound novels and stuff that Japan gets. For example:
Hayarigami
Hayarigami 2
Hayarigami Revenge
Kaerazu no Mori
Saishuu Densha (The Last Train)
Kyofu Shinbun
Shiju Hachi
There are others.
There are a few games that most certainly COULD be considered "horror", but differences of opinion mean that it'll never be definitive. For example:
Ghosthunter
Glass Rose (JP only)
Phase Paradox (JP only. Maybe PAL? I forget)
Trapt
Run Like Hell
Good luck!
Thanks a lot! I only have 11 of the games listed so far :/ oh well guess it will make it all the more fun to collect for. I'm also glad you included a few games from other regions because I plan on getting some of those after I complete a North American collectionOriginally Posted by G-Boobie
Really? I've only played about an hour of that game, but I didn't realize that it was a horror title. I'm not contesting, I honestly just didn't know.
I suppose the environment is really creepy, now that I think about it.
What about that game where you know you're going to die and can't prevent it unless you do something very specific to prevent it from happening? I forget the name, but I don't think I see it listed here.
Edit - It's called Shadow of Destiny. I would think that would qualify.

Shadow of Destiny, I've played it many times and I wouldn't really consider it horror. Great game though
Why not? It's basically like something you'd see in the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits from the 1960's. Granted, I don't recall any extreme violence, blood, zombies, and the like, but you don't need junk like that to be horror.
Well i suppose you could make it work, but it's like G-Boobie said, everyone has their own opinion on what fits in the genre. I think we could both agree that it is a borderline title
Yeah, that's a contested entry for certain: the game creeps me out profoundly, and even though the PS2 version has the crappier soundtrack and a shitty anime protagonist (and a third person perspective), some of the stuff you run into in the later parts of the game give Silent Hill a run for it's money. The Saturn version is much better and closer to an actual horror game, but the PS2 version gets grandfathered in for me.
I could see Shadow of Destiny qualifying. Good game.
damn thats a pretty comprehensive list lol, im going to be coming back to this for a long while until i track down everything here, i think i have about half of those already tho
i also seem to vaguely remember an horror based rpg, but it might not even exist or if it does no guarantee its for that system
"Kidnap the presidents wife without a plan..."
You must be referring to one of the best RPGs ever made, Shadow Hearts. I cannot express to you how much I love that game, truely amazing game :0 Here's a poster I have for it, it's pretty much the cover art for the game. Is it the one you are thinking of?

lol you know what, i think that might be it, and you know what else? lol i actually have that game and totally forgot about it, i remember playing it for the first few minutes all i remember was riding on a train
would you say this is more rpg than horror/survival horror or the other way around? and now that i think about it, lol i think i have all 3 in the series and am only missing koudelka
"Kidnap the presidents wife without a plan..."
More RPG, there is some gore but not much, the horror theme mostly comes from some of the really messed up monster designs and some of the story (cannibal villiages, vampires, insane asylums, etc.) I just need koudelka as well, but it should be noted that the series losses it's horror feel after the first one.
Horror is pretty subjective. What one person might define as a horror game might not fit someone else's definition at all based on content or even gameplay.
Take the Vampire Darkstalkers Collection (JPN) for example. It has a Zombie, Vampire, Succubus, Werewolf, Mummy, Frankenstein's Monster, Esper, and Dark Messiah. Heck, it even has a Sasquatch, Robot, and Alien too!
Yet with all that, some could reasonably argue that it is NOT a horror game.
Therefore, I submit the following games... merely for consideration. The games are loosely categorized and the descriptions are cut, copied, pasted, edited for brevity and completely plagiarized from various sources.

Sci-Fi and Horror often go hand in hand. If the previously mentioned The Thing, Phase Paradox and RLH are acceptable in the horror genre, all involving alien "monsters", then also consider...

I thought of Disaster Report and Raw Danger (Too bad we never got the PSP entry and that the PS3 game was foolishly killed off).
But I never think of disaster movies as horror movies, so I suppose I'll apply the same line of thinking to videogames.
you guys all forgot the onimusha series
"Kidnap the presidents wife without a plan..."
Nah. There's nothing scary at all about Onimusha. It's an action game.
How about the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei Games? They take place in worlds beset by demons and deal with apocalyptic themes.
Run Like Hell was certainly a horror to play.
I'm guessing you mean Haunting Ground, just wanted to make the differentiation in case people were using this as a list to collect from.
