What exactly is the best time to strike him? I'm being aggressive and trying to hit him after he throws his second set of knives but the success rate is about 50%. I'm finding it difficult to find any other openings to hit him without taking a big chance of getting countered.
I would like the old Resident Evil games, Dino Crisis 1 + 2, and the old Megaman games.
Pretty much every capcom game.

Good question, now if I had must plays in a general sense and not from specific tastes, and there's some here I'm very fond of but I wouldn't say are for everybody. So with that in mind, hmn...
Resident Evil 4 is probably the easiest to mention as its legitimately a great game that everyone should experience. The PC version has also come to be the ultimate version of the game as well.
Condemned: Criminal Origins has some problems, but is probably one of the best horror games to have released in the last 10 years. I like the second half better than the first path, but a good game.
Not everyone will love Deadly Premonition, it has flaws up the wazoo, but is also quite an experience, and I'd say a game you at least have to try to see if you love it or hate it. Know that the game gets better after the beginning prologue section.
Kentucky Route Zero has received mainstream notice and received awards. Its episodic, with 3 of 5 episodes released right now. Very surreal, and really an experience. It's kind of artsy, but enjoyable, and guess I would say checking it out to see what everyone's talking about with the game.
Killing Floor is THE best arena-based game I've ever played, very fun and really a must-own Steam title I feel.
Lone Survivor is one of my favorite 2D horror games, unique for what it is and a quaint experience, also now available on PS3 and Vita.
Like, everyone has Left 4 Dead 2. You should have it too. It's one of the staples of Steam co-op gaming.
Now, that would be what I would say to the general public... However, here are a few personal favorites that are a bit more required taste, but I think are just excellent;
Love it/hate it game, but I love it.
Great little experience, maybe over-priced right now for length, but it is a quality horror experience with fantastic audio design, some of the best I've heard in ages.
My personal favorite Lovecraft game of all time.
Excellent story, mood, honestly an all-around great adventure game.
It's no longer on Steam, its optimization is shit, but it was actually pretty good, some issues, but had a good story, scares, loved the fact there's hardly any music but great audio design, and some freaky parts in the middle.
I think Dead Space 1 has better 'scares' (though they were never super effective on me), but think Dead Space 2 is a lot more fun, and a very fun game in general, even if more action-oriented.
Fantastic story, classical-styled music pieces, matched with a growing sense of unease and the strange to make quite an adventure horror game.
It created a sub-genre and is pretty fun and stylistic, and deserves a mention definitely.
A lot find it scarier than I do, I did find it scary especially at the start though. A great grindhouse horror game about being stalked by crazed, naked men.
Resident Evil 5 and 6 get a lot of slack, but they are excellent co-op games. If you have a friend to play it, they can be fantastic fun.
A bit slow to start, but really gets under your skin and becomes really fascinating.
My personal favorite Slender game, basically found-footage horror the game.
Interesting story and characters will keep you gripped, and the illusion of choice is fun.
Quite the experience.
---
The others have more flaws I would say, but have more talent and interesting elements to make them more required taste, but in their own way unique horror games that some may find incredible appeal in.

Yup, I thought the audio department was one of the game's strongest areas as well. I might view it differently as I've played a loto f games and love new experiences, so maybe my mindset if off-putted. For example, I have played a lot of Yume Nikki clone games and fan games. I thought this was a better inspiration game as its not a direct clone. I would say it's not quite as good as either, but has its own unique elements and a fun play in its own right. And yes, card collecting was easily the worst part. It's find for an optional thing and I explored the game and got most already, but how it becomes required at the end is really bullshitty. Reminds me of the Triforce quest in Wind Waker.
I can say it apparently has updated a lot in the last year from what I can tell, and I found it fun.

Also, got Alice: Madness Returns. Giving it to a friend, but thank you very much!
Oh, i thought you meant games in general. I don't know, maybe they do have pc ports?

* updating witcher give away to lurkers only *
What? You mean like for modbot?
I think the closest to that is Juniors only...
How funny that you pop up right after me posting that.
Huh....so they do have pc versions. Capcom????
Even a bad rats giveaway with that rule would kill modbot.
You know i cant be certain but it seems as if my steam game count dropped by 6? It wasnt because of the freebie games they add either. Im at the point where i dont have any idea what games i actually own. Is there a way to export a list or something? I would never potentially know if a game disappeared from my library until i wanted to play it.

Whatever that is it was important enough to warrant a quick fix.

I'm not big on horror games, I only like few of them, but I like seeing and reading your reviews about many of them and that lists mentions some that I'd like to give a try.

Thanks for doing the giveaway! I'm not entering since I bought the bundle already, but it's nice to see GAFfers being generous.

Yes.
The port is decent enough. But it's not as good as the DMC4 port.
Still for DMC3 if you can you're better off with the HD collection on PS3.
Unless you want to try that mod that allows you to switch styles on the fly.

Some sort of overflow vulnerability:

Still requires a PS3... so yeah... no.

Thanks, attacking after his spear charge made it much easier. Was still getting hit every now and then from his counter attacks with his sword after going in but managed to pull it off after 2-3 attempts. Was only at 10 health though when I got him O_O

The bolded in there and:
Lego Racers 1&2. Actually just throw all of the old, pre Travelers Tales Lego games on Steam.
Oregon Trail, the older versions not the new garbage one, on Steam would be great.
The Dark Seed games because why not.
Phantasmagoria games because they're so bad they're actually good.
The MGS PC games, fix them and put them on Steam.
The Thing, I'd love to play this one.
Some creepy Japanese games we shouldn't really talk about, i.e. Yume Miru Kusuri.
lol daaamn
I think Nito is already part of the Lin Kieu.
Yeah, i agree. Just get the collection on ps3. That switch style mod is horribly broken, haha.

Woohoo!
OMG, Thanks for this extensive review of horror games. That's a very exquisite job. I guess I will pick some of your recommendations.
Besides Call of Cthulu, which other two games should I pick to play?

Does Darksiders have a Linux version?
Because their official Facebook account just posted a screenshot of the game running on Linux.

Hm, could have been the *nix integer overflow / remote code execution thing from 2 days ago.
