#18 Siren
Siren was bound to be a success as a fantastic survival horror video game title. The reason being is that Siren was created by Keiichiro Toyama, the director for the video game Silent Hill. Siren is based around a Japanese village known as Hanuda which chose to become separate from the outside world. During one of the villages ritual ceremony’s to bring their god back into the world, an earthquake stops them and curses the village into a different world. Now a total of ten survivors must prevent the cult from bringing their god back and return the natural order.
This of course is easier said than done. Those that didn’t survive the ceremony have turned into new subordinates known only as shibito. These shibito’s patrol the area looking for the last remaining humans to sacrifice. Originally released for the PlayStation 2 back in 2003, players can still pick up the title through Sony’s PSN.
