Yeah I had to think for a bit and add some more. People may argue that some of the titles I added aren't survival horror but whatever. There are probably more.

Project Zero is kind of a pain to play btw on PCSX2. There's some annoying issues with the camera where you have to aim a bit to the lower left instead of directly at a ghost. (This is particularly an issue with the random ghosts that only appear for a very limited time). So keep that in mind when playing the game. Logarithmic Z supposedly fixes this, but I haven't been able to try it out yet.
Oh yeah I didn't bother checking compatibility for any of the titles I mentioned :pwacko: I use real hardware, and also a different platform if available.
Thank you all for your suggestions :aussie: they've been very helpful.Also my apologies to the moderators of the forum because i was not careful enough to see this thread creating and posting a similar yesterday
Haha, yeah no problem.
I actually went ahead to try it out today.. Seems the camera issue is still around. Sadly Logarithmic Z didn't seem to solve the issue in HW mode.
Playing it in Software Mode completely fixes the issue though.. at the cost of reduced Graphic quality.
Original Xbox Hidden gems (your faves)
Let's discuss hidden gems on the original Xbox. Here are a few of my faves.
-Shenmue 2 (A great follow up to the Dreamcast cult classic.)
-Gauntlet Dark Legacy (I know it's a multiplat but it is one of my all time fav gems of that generation.)
-Call Of Cthulu (I have yet to play this but its on my must obtain list. And it's by Bethesda)
-Psychonauts (A Tim Schaffer classic. Im glad I discovered this game back in the day.)
-Raze's Hell (A very flawed game but has a minor cult following. I liked it)
If you want to talk about these games or add more to the list feel free to do so.

New to PC gaming. Any game recommendations?
I have decided to get a high end gaming rig. Since I have been a console gamer all my life I was wondering what are some amazing games on Steam? And yes I am already aware of TF2 and i'm getting that downloaded without question. I just would like to know about some more games that are a little more obscure but loads of fun. By the way I'm new to emuparadise,
Hello TheRevenant! I'm new here also. Joined a while back but not done much posting. If you want PC game recommendations, I can help you out!
It's almost a cliché to suggest this one but it's a must-play - Half-Life. Rather than playing the original or even Half-Life Source, I'd recommend Black Mesa - a fan-made mod which recreates the original game. I'm not sure which version of Half-Life 2 is needed to play it, but I assume any will do since all the versions on Steam should now be using the latest version of the Source engine. If in doubt, Google it. But yeah, Half-Life and Half-Life 2 along with it's two Episodes are a must-play on PC.
One of my all-time favourite PC games is System Shock 2, which is on Steam right now as part of the Hallowe'en sale but if you want it, be quick as the sale ends today. Basically the premise is that Earth builds its first faster-than-light spaceship, specifically the TriOptimum Corporation builds it. For it's maiden voyage, a military escort ship is assigned to piggyback on the main ship. You are a member of the military escort and for some reason you wake up on board the main ship with no memory of recent events. As you explore you find the ship almost deserted except for crazy people who attack you while begging you to kill them. The environments of the ship are very well realised and while the graphics are dated now the gameplay stands up well and it's very tense. With RPG mechanics, you earn points to upgrade your stats in Weapons (your ability to use a variety of weapons along with the damage they deal), Tech (your ability to hack systems, modify weapons, repair and maintain them and conduct research to gain an advantage over your enemies), Psi (basically magic - powers such as telekinesis, invisibility, throwing fireballs, sensing items and enemies nearby etc) and main stats such as Strength and Agility. It plays like an FPS but you have to think and play carefully as ammo is scarce and you're not a walking tank.
Similar to System Shock 2 is Deus Ex. If you're a console gamer you may have played Deus Ex: Human Revolution which was multi-platform. The original was firstly a PC game but got ported to at least the PS2 I believe. Again, an RPG/FPS hybrid, you earn experience points which you use to upgrade various skills, primary mission objectives earn you cash which can be spent at various NPC's to buy items, and there are ways to find more cash throughout the levels, such as hacking ATM machines. You can go in guns blazing, using explosives and assault rifles or sneak around with a silenced pistol or sniper rifle, and even hack security systems to disable cameras or reconfigure turrets to attack your enemies. The storyline is pretty good, dealing with the Illuminati and conspiracy theories, and the environments are broad with multiple ways to approach situations.
So, I want to play some GB/GBC games (I was thinking of emulating on my Android phone).
The question is: which games do you like the most, which are the best and your personal favourites?
Which Japanese Super Nintendo game should I play, which most likely have missed but that is really good ?? :strongbad:

My dad goes out and finds a $15 original Xbox with 2 controllers and apparently a game (dunno what). My thoughts? Conflicted. I dunno if I should be happy or not I'm just confused.
Anyways I need to get the most out of this thing since it's here so why not?
So EP members what's worth my time on this monster of a console?
The first Fable was pretty good and should keep you going for a bit.
Dino Crisis 3 is pretty crap tbh, but it's an exclusive iirc.
Metal Wolf Chaos.
Plenty of titles that are available on PS2 look and perform heaps better on Xbox...Black is a perfect example but if that isn't your thing then maybe check out the Project Zero games and stuff like that.
And there's emulators, you can load up quite a range of stuff on the old Xbox especially if you throw in a larger HDD.
Edit: If you prefer using consoles instead of PC then there are titles you can play on the Xbox like Morrowind for example (there are even some mods that have been ported over).
The Tomb Raider reboot. Sure the reboot took a lot of ideas from Uncharted, but its still a good game. I've been playing it for a few days now, and so far I've really been enjoying, if you enjoy action/adventure games, I reccommend this one.
Well, I've finally got a Vita. What games should I look out for? I'm mostly interested in JRPGs and TRPGs, but any other genres are welcome too.
What I already have:
Gravity Rush
Tearaway
Persona 4 Golden
Sly Cooper Trilogy \ Sly 4 (Cross-Buy)
Ratchet & Clank Trilogy (Cross-Buy)
What I plan to get in the future:
Disgaea 3\4
LittleBigPlanet Vita
Any suggestions?
Grid, also known as Race Driver: Grid in other parts of the world, a fun racing game. Pretty decent physics and graphics for its time. Also, the rewind feature is pretty neat. Being able to go back in time and fix a mistake. Though some may find it may make the game a little too easy, that isn't the truh. Grid still offers various levels of difficulty, and the rewind feature can come in handy, especially when you don't wanna restart the race, even that option is also available. I'd reccommend this game to any racing fans.
Anyone can tell me names of awesome ps1 game?
From Resident Evil to Yoyo's Puzzle Park,

Anybody have any recommendations?
I've been playing Pepsiman for the PS1 recently and the menus and all the in-game FMV's and dialogue are in english. Wondering if anybody knows of any other japan-only games that are playable to english speakers?
So wii is has come to an end, but there is a lot of lost treasures and undiscovered games out there.
I am relatively new to Wii, I love it, Homebrew and emulators they are Fantastic.
but i feel there is alot i'm missing out on, Any Suggestions?
If your looking for a shorter list of MUST haves I can try and narrow it down a bit more. Out of the ones Ragnar listed the Nintendo first party ones are obvious gets, with the exception of maybe 'Other M'. I'll up-vote some of the third party musts for some of the other categories he listed:
'Rayman Origins' and 'Boy and his blob' in Platformers.
Don't miss Last Story, XenoBlade or Rune Factory Frontier in RPG's.
Don't miss Tatsunoku vs Capcom in Fighters (if you have someone to play against).
Don't miss Sin and Punishment in rail shooters. Excite Truck in sports/racers.
Broken Sword !!!!!!!!!! in 'Point and Click' was great.
In the 'PARTY' section, I all ready said all first party but be sure to get Wario Smooth Moves if your actually playing on a Wii with motion controls.
...but really the Galaxy games and the Zelda games are the biggest draws for some one new to Wii. Your so lucky if you get to play all those on a row.
Trying to choose a Final Fantasy VI SNES rom...there are two listed a normal 'USA' one and another called 'REV A' . Was this like an official revision to the translation? Or a fan made revision? Which one should I get?
I highly suggest this,
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1386/
yea awesome ive played a few, but now my list is getting bigger :D
Im not sure about the "REV A" stuff have you tried google? haha, and i have used "REV A" before and can't recall it making any noticeable difference
REV A would be the official revision I'd think. Early copies of FF3 had some bugs in them, I forget exactly what, I think the most common thing was the Relm sketch bugs. The rerelease fixed stuff, but IIRC broke some other stuff, like some cursed armor you could de-curse to make one of the best armors in the game didn't work anymore. I think most people prefer to play the first version because the sketch bug could be abused and stuff.
I just got a laptop about 2 weeks ago secondhand its a little old but it has a i5 processor, 4gb ram and a nividia Geforce GT420M. what games do you think would be good. Do you think it could handle final fantasy 12?
Any info or suggestions would be really appreciated.
:)
I wanted a list of great games that have come out for Dolphin emulator.
Its a little light on ram depends on the i5. Graphics card is blah.
There was a remake of 6 with cinematics that came out for playstation same game just some cool cinematics. You may want to look at that as well.
Crisis Core
Hey, can someone upload the game called 'Milano No Arubaito'
Here's the link which leads to the video gameplay.

Hope anyone of you played this game in childhood. It's such a reminiscing game.
OK, I know people asked this thousand of times, but I never played any of the Final Fantasy games and I think it's time to taste that. I'm not that big RPG fan (though I enjoy Pokemon), but even though I want to give it a chance.
I heard that Final Fantasy VII for the PS1 is like the best one (please don't kill me if I'm wrong), so I don't know if I shoud start from that one, or shoud I start from the beginning?
Anyway, I'm open for any suggestions..
