...yeah, after posting i saw Onimusha on that list. uhh... no.
yes, there starts being some lovecraftian things at the end of the 1st game and there's some undead enemies, but it damn well ain't horror. and DMC definitely has nothing to do with the genre. friggin' Castlevania has more to do with it.
however, something that fits the genre MUCH more than either of those would be the Legacy of Kain series, as that series probably can fit the genre in most ways.
