Metroid II was basically a horror game the way it was designed, it was all build up and suspense.  Fusion had some strong horror elements too, and actually even Other M did too.

Between opening with zombies for foes and getting ambushed with chase scenes, Fusion really felt like a good horror game at time.  I have some serious issues with that game, but its genre-blending wasn't one of them.

It's bizarre how similar Fusion and Other M seem (horror elements, space station setting, more linear directed progression).  The big differentiating factors being the emphasis on cutscenes/shown narrative in OM, which was also the game's downfall imo.
