LOL @ those two, hardly survival horror, Left 4 Dead is just about how much it kicks ass to kill hundreds of zombies.  

One I did forget is Fear 2, but none of this says saturation.

Okay well I don't know what the exact number is for what's considered oversaturated; but developers are definitely starting to over-do this genre. All the games we just listed are all in the last couple years and there will certainly be more of these type of games to come soon.

As a fan of true survival horror games I would have to agree that the genre is not oversaturated(maybe just not that popular right now? Or maybe it needs FFVII for the genre to reignite it). Those games listed are not true survival horror games they just have elements of horror games. Resident Evil 5 isn't really even true survival Horror anymore, it's borderline at best. A good AAA true Survival Horror game would actually be refreshing for the market. Dead Space was the closest thing to that and it got overlooked for some reason. I guess it just didn't stand out enough.

Thats how I feel exactly, Silent Hill SM is my favorite this gen taking over RE4 for all time as well, it should get a better look than people are giving it but the Silent Hill market is just consistent because of its fanbase. 

I like how RV Donda put it. I think its just a genre that's really popular right now, I guess I didn't really mean oversaturated.
