Happy Halloween! In spirit of the holiday, PSU decided to compile a list of the top three videogames this year that had us hiding behind the sofa in a gibbering, girlish wreck. If you already own these games or have a bit of spare cash lying about to snap up a copy, then we recommend you celebrate the occasion by cranking up the volume, turning out the lights and experiencing some of the PlayStation 3’s finest horror delights of 2008.

#1 - Siren: Blood Curse
Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment’s Japan Studio, Siren: Blood Curse is a classic slice of Survival Horror action offered via a series of bit-sized episodic chunks on PlayStation Network. The game itself is a retelling of the original PlayStation 2 release, documenting the struggle of a TV camera crew investigating the cursed Japanese village of Hanuda. Featuring blood soaked visuals, compelling storyline and an abundance of dead folk baying for your blood, Siren is one fright fest you won’t forget in a hurry.
#2 - Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Condemned 2: Bloodshot pits players in the shoes of former Serial Crimes Unit investigator, Ethan Thomas, who has been summoned back into the line of duty in an effort to track down his missing partner. This latest instalment in the gritty, psychological tale features all-new online multiplayer functionality, in addition to a revamped combat system, allowing players to chain together various defensive and offensive techniques in order to overcome their foes.
#3 - Dead Space
EA’s foray into the world of Survival Horror doesn’t disappoint. Taking on the role of space engineer Issac Clark, you are tasked with responding to a distress call from the USG Ishimura, where he soon discovers that the vessel has been overtaken by legions of flesh eating beasts known as Necromorphs. Trapped in the isolated craft in the outer reaches of space with only the mutilated corpses of the crew to keep you company, players find a way to repair the Ishimura while battling against hordes of Necromorphs using the game’s decidedly gory strategic dismemberment system, allowing you to literally blow apart your foes limb by limb. One of the most gruesome, viscerally satisfying horror outings in years.

i need to get Siren, played Condemned 2 and it was alright. Can't wait to try out Dead Space.
@PSU, can you please get rid of the Motorstorm AD at the bottom of the Home page, its really cutting into my music playing and ******* me off or at least when i turn the volume down or go to hit pause make it to where it doesn't reload the Home page. FFS please. Its really turning me off to the site.

THanks for removing the Motorstorm vid PSU, it was pretty annoying and it was eating up my download limit (I use satellite internet and it gives you a monthly download limit, it sucks and I wouldn't recommend it.)
And I've been thinking about dl'ing Siren but have heard mixed opinions, maybe I should try out the demo. COndemned 2 wasn't too impressive in my opinion, not much better than the original. Dead Space is very scary, with the surround sound cranked up in a dark room its enough to make you pause the game and sit the controller down for a few minutes after something pops out at you.

agreed with list,ive got to grab me some Sire:Blood curse while its on sale for $30 (full game)... condemned was pretty sweet (atleast the demo),price droped on that sucker QUICK though... like $50-$15 over here in cali.... anywho,dead space looks kool,havnt played it but a friend of mine said it was kinda short...
speaking of witch... i definently think they should make a Horror RPG or Horror MMO,now that would be kool,ESPECIALLY if 100% fresh grown japanese made. :)
