However, according to ComicBook Gaming, there are still plenty of titles that are yet to receive love and gain their much-deserved attention from modern gamers like what Konami and CAPCOM received in the past years.
'Silent Hill 3'
"Silent Hill 3" remains a strong contender for a modern remake.

A remake of "F.E.A.R." this year would bring a full-circle moment not only to the franchise but also to gamers who envisioned a future of paranormal action, filled with some of the iconic jump scares of the horror video game genre.
'Left 4 Dead'
Valve Corporation's "Left 4 Dead" may have joined the horror video game industry in the late 2000s, but it was surely one of the most iconic in history and helped propel the genre to new heights.
