Default Survival Game Suggestions?

Ok, first of all, when one person thinks 'Survival Game', it seems that it means Horror survival, in which you fend of creatures of the paranormal (zombies) in order to Survive...

...When i think 'Survival Game', I think something like, you just got owned by a storm and are now stranded on an island, and must find food, shelter, etc to keep alive. Google doesn't agree with this and i can't find any 'Survival' games i want to play.

Dont get me wrong, though, i do enjoy a good head-shot zombie game everyonce in a while, thats wh i Play Survival Crisis Z!

But i want a game, where say your plane crashed, and theres 10 ppl with you, and your stuck in the mountains, or a desert, or your in the middle of Alaska or nowhere or an island or something, know any good ones?

Survival Games i've played and liked, that i can think of that is...

Stranded &Stranded 2(gold)
UnReal World TRY IT TRY IT!!

Survival Games i've atleast played...

Virtual Villagers- Good concept, but im not willing to pay money for it. Maybe if they makes it free....

Notrium-Agh, i just didn't really like it that much at all...

So go on my fair ppls, any suggestions?

Any time frame limitations?

Resident Evil series - might as well give em another play.

Siren

Others that I'm having trouble deciding whether they are considered as either survival or horror.

Resident Evil would classify as horror, as they are the zombies (Can't wait for RE 5 though )

Siren, is that a game or did you randomly write it?

oo i dont care what ppl say,even if thats not the game, im goona try it!

Any of you see the movie 'Alive'? Or read the book 'Alive?"

Its based off of a true 1972 plane crash in the mountians near chile, and out of like the 50 ppl on the rugby team (they were going to Uraguay) only 16 of them survived the over 70 days in the mountains...wonder if theres a game like that....

ANYWAYS...

Robinsons Requiem is pretty sweet, atleast, i enjoy it, even though its exptremely hard to even see what im looking at half the time! I also like Dues
