This PS2 gem from SCE Cambridge Studio was genuinely spooky. You're a cop who accidentally unleashes spectral entities, then has to hunt them. Great voice acting, clever puzzles, and a real sense of dread permeated its atmospheric world. It understood horror before jump scares became the industry's only trick. A proper haunted house experience.

This FPS is pure, unadulterated fun. It's arcade perfection in first-person form. The levels are incredibly varied, spanning different eras and locations. And the characters are hilariously wild. You can play intense co-op. Or frantic competitive multiplayer. It's fast-paced. And wonderfully frantic. The weapon variety is huge, offering endless mayhem. And the humor is wonderfully constant. A beloved classic. And still a blast to play.
