This game is so fun. Played this recently with my brother and it was a blast. Wish I've played it before. I think this game is available on steam but the version there do not have a cooperative game mode if I not mistaken.This game claims cooperative.

Such a great overlooked survival horror game. I wonder if it's possible to get the original version though, given that it has copyrighted music that was changed in later versions...
I had this game back in ps2 days as a kid, and although I wanted to complete it I was too scared to play it. more than decade later I've been very nostalgic about ps2 era games, sheer amount of variety of genres on ps2 has not been replicated yet, and aesthetic of ps2 era games is first thing that pops in my head whenever name "videogame" is mentioned, and this title represents that era the best for me. its one game that sums up that mystical, seemingly never ending library of amazing experiences that that generation had. I spent best memories playing this gaming not knowing I would remember it fondly for rest of my life
Easily one of the best horror games on the ps2. This game was so underrated and not given the attention it deserved. I can't wait to have it on PC. It'd be a real treat for horror fans around the world.

ObsCure is a vibe, to be sure, but it's one of the best at imitating the low-budget teen horror film explosion of the late 90s and early 2000s. Imagine, a co-op horror game that actually leans into the co-op aspect, unlike Resident Evil Outbreak, with characters who aren't afraid to smash open a vending machine or break windows to overcome locked doors! It's probably too much to ask for the original SUM-41 soundtrack due to licensing issues, but getting that music would be the feather in this game's cap. There's hours of great fun to be had here!

I played this one a lot on the PS2! I completed it several times with friends when I was a kid. One of the best co-op survival horror games ever made. It's still available on Steam and I hope it becomes available on GOG soon.

I remember the gory deaths of the kids in this game. It was sort of like an 80s slasher flick as a game. It would be nice to see it resurrected so I could add it to my account.

This to this day is my favorite horror game of ALL TIME. I play it every year on my old Xbox and PS2, but I don't know how long those systems will last. I lost a PS2 and a Xbox already. There is a version of the game on Steam, but I want to OWN this game. It has value for me on a deeper level. When I hear the ost it takes me back and I know exactly what music is played where. I know the devs closed shop sadly, but the rights to the games are out there. I still hope that one day we get a ObsCure 3 since it sadly died after 2. ObsCure 1 however was a game so good. So outstanding that it rivales my other favorite game ever "Resident Evil Remake". Please GOG! Please get this game and the sequel so that I can play it forever with my friends and family!!! PLEASE

Fatal Frame
Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera. Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are. The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling. The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.

Ratchet: Deadlocked
Ratchet: DeadlockedRatchet: Deadlocked is the fourth game in the Ratchet & Clank series by Insomniac Games. Deadlocked is different in its counterparts in that it focuses more on shooting than platforming and puzzle elements. The game allows you to use two bots to fight along side you, which can be upgraded over time with better weapons and firepower. There are 10 total weapons in the game, significantly less than the other games. However, modding these weapons is more emphasized than before, with different kinds of Alpha and Omega mods. Omega mods can be used on any weapon, and range from the freeze mod to the magma mod. Alpha mods are weapon-specific, and increase the rate of fire, ammo capacity, and power. The game also features online multiplayer. Clank is not a playable character in this game, although he gives advice to Ratchet over his communication link.
