#34: The Thing
Year: 2002
Why It's Great: Don't write off this creepy survival-horror game until you've tried it — The Thing is one of the best horror games on the PS2. Picking up after the events of the classic John Carpenter film, you lead a squad of commandos into an abandoned Antarctic research base and, ultimately, uncover the shape-shifting alien killer and its murderous brood. The eerie graphics are surprisingly effective, and the combat is incredibly tense because you must burn Thing creatures with the flamethrower to kill them. But the real twist is that your computer-controlled squadmates might not be who they seem to be — at any time, one or more of them may actually be the grotesque Thing. A must-play for survival horror fans!
