I was just wondering if there were any games that you guys have played that were scary for you to play. I remember when I was younger my friend and I were playing RE 2 and at the beginning were the zombies come through the boarded windows, my friend threw the controller. It was pretty funny.

Yeah when I was younger, my and my brother rented a Resident Evil game (can't remember which one, was definitely 1 or 2). The only way I could bring myself to play it was when my family was in the house, I would turn all the lights on, and would sit as far back as possible, and even then it was scary as hell.

Silent Hill, that damn radio that played static when enemies got closer.. turn off all the lights and put on surround sound, me and my friend couldn't find the damn monster near us until it literally leaped into the screen from behind us, scared the crap out of both of us.. good times. :) Fatal frame was good, bioshock is scarry at times, dead space was.. medium?

The Condemned games put me on edge when I played them for long periods in the dark - the bear moment in particular really got to me as they build up to it so well through the first 5-10 minutes of that level. I also got a couple of good freakout moments in Undying, mostly with monsters that were only visible when scrying. I'd cast scry, see a freaky monster floating towards me, and then it's go invisible and I'd spin and run away from it. One time I had trouble jumping up some rubble to get away from it, which was scarier than it should have been.

I remember playing certain parts of the Gamecube game Eternal Darkness that scared me a little when I first played it.

Resident Evil3: Nemesis. This game would freak me out when the Nemesis was near. The music started going and all you would hear was S.T.A.R.S.! Your best bet was to keep running, he was one of the toughest bosses yet.

And this is what made clock tower scary to me. The entire game was like this. You'd just be exploring and then suddenly some panic enducing music would start and you'd hear the killer coming and your best bet was to hide or run as fast as you could.

Doom 3. With the lights off.

I can't think of any others.

Edit: "We Don't Go To Ravenholm" from HL2 scared me the first time I played it.

I bought it awhile ago for 5 bucks and I am going to try it soon. Just wanted to know what I was getting into. The only thing I know about it is if you run into an enemy and you run they will chase you down. You can close doors and everything but no matter what they will find a way to get to you, breaking down any barriers in their way. I hope its good just wanted to know if anyone had tried it yet =)

these are a couple pictures from the game

Clock Tower 3.

.....Sludgehammer scarred my frail, innocent mind after the cutscene in which you first run into him..... :|

I'll never forget that seemingly enjoyable trip to the beach, just to wrap up the first night there with THAT!

I'm not sure, I don't think I've ever been scared by a game, to be honest. The movie Exorcist still scares the heck out of me because it was based on a true story. I still can't watch it! But no game did that to me yet because at the end, it's just computer rendered images and a game. Some games have been disturbing, though, but that's because of all the gore and violence in some games.

REmake for me as well. Fallout 3 also gave some cheap scares. When you would turn around and have a deathclaw right in your face. Thank goodness for vats.

Fatal Frame.

I was in the 'backyard' area of the game, where the overhang is to those who've played it. Anyway, the controller started to vibrate so I was like ' oh okay, a ghost.' I put on the camera and do a 360, nothing. I'm halfway turning around when the controller vibrates again, so I click the triangle button, cause me to fully turn the other way. Right there filling up the screen was the Broken Neck Lady's face. I was so scared I couldn't scream, I just paused the game and sat on the floor, staring at the TV.

I still can't bring myself to play it because of that. :lol:

Dead Space. 5 minutes into the game, when it becomes clear you're the only survivor, you have no clue what's happening, there are really scary and deadly aliens eerywhere, and you have no method of defending yourself,... Alt+F4, shudder, uninstall, go on with life. Don't like scary games.

Fatal Frame 2 & 3

Those games are the only games ever to give me nightmares. Ive played almost every horror game out there, penumbra comes close, so did phantasmagoria in its day.

Serious Sam. The enemies who had bombs for hands that would run at you screaming would scare me everytime. Ocarina Of Time. The noise the whenever the skeletons popped out of the ground in hyrule field.

Only series that really scared me was the Fatal frame series... it was part atmosphere, part setting, and a whole lot about sound and the feeling of being unable to do a whole heck of alot.

Penumbra is a fairly good Series/episodic aswell...

System Shock 2does get an honerbly mention, Ive never playied a game there the enemies felt/was so wrong, they still gives me the creeps, and man SHODAN is one well made character, everytime I heard her It was like listening to the manifistation of pure hate and malice.

There was one game that scared the crap out of me to the point where I had to stop for a while.

In Fear, there is a part where you fight these invisible dudes that come out of no where and they stay invisible.

That unkillable creature in Dead Space always scares the s*** out of me.

The part where you play as Joker in ME2 is scary, especially if you screw up.
