Do you keep up with ObsCure? It's a co-op survival horror series that has pretty much been ignored for various reasons, most of them relating to the fact that the game is only partly interesting. The entire concept behind co-op survival horror is a bit suspect as is. Isn't the point to be alone in your suspense (no one bring up RE5 or we're all sitting down for a nice long lecture on what survival horror is)? Still, the concept could also work really well, as you and another player share your fear, and so ObsCure: The Aftermath returns for another try.
Having originally landed on the Wii, PS2 and PC ObsCure: The Aftermath is now being ported over to the PSP, and you can watch the trailer for it above. You can tell the game is on the PSP because all the gameplay is shown on a PSP screen. Nothing like some piss poor trailer making for your weekend, huh? The game will still be co-op and claims to have maintained its graphical prowess, which is clearly not true from the trailer above, but whatever. If you're in the mood to try something a bit different, this could be a decent enough ticket.

The voice acting is noteworthy for being terrible but at least they fucking tried and you can tell, which makes it enjoyably ridiculous.
Perhaps I'll do that with the sequel as well. I've been meaning to pick it up for a while now.
It looks like you said "but at least they fucking and you can tell..."
I lol'd. Repeatedly.
And what was funny was your comment was a complete thought when I jumped into the post to check your comment out.
Good times.
I didn't know Obscure II was called Obscure: The Aftermath in other countries!
It's not like there is a bunch of horror games where the aim of the game is to not survive. Actually that could be a good twist on the genre, a game where you die as fast as possible in a range of different situations.
I really wish they made a good co-op survival horror game for the consoles, Outbreak had potential, but the PS2 online was lacking to fallow through on it.
Obscure 2 was a complete mess though. The devs took the whole thing too seriously. Ham-fisted social commentary and some appalling choices in an effort to be 'mature'. When you use something as serious as suicide as way of stopping a player select a character...you're in the wrong business. I'm not going to start on the needless rape sub-plot.
I loved the first game, but I wished the second never happened.
