While other games served to scare you, Eternal Darkness scared you and drove you insane at the same time. Ooh.

Silent Hill 2 & 3 (especially 3), just the atmosphere is so intense and creepy.

Fatal Frame: II, III and Silent Hill: II were pretty scary. A videogame has never really scared me into not playing it.

I agree, the game was a fantastic remake and definitely one of the best horror games there is IMO.

I'm sorry but fatal frame isn't scary at all. But then again, when does a horror theme game have to be scary to be good now a days, the best 'horror' game is more of a action game, and that would be Resident Evil 4, which isn't scary at all either.

Its Resident Evil (original game) re-made on the Gamecube. It is the quintessential survival horror game, just get used to the tank controls.

Personally, I would have been VERY happy if Capcom would have re-made RE2 on the Gamecube or Wii as well.

Hmmm... Well; there is a difference between good and scary.


The greatest Horror game GAMEPLAY wise is probably Resident Evil 4. The SCARIEST game would be one of the Fatal Frames.

Silent Hill 2. While I have Fatal Frame I didn't get the joy out of it from playing compared to SH 2.

Nice to see that someone else played this. Siren 2 was easily one of the PS2's best horror games.

Video games just don't scare me, because I know they're games and lives are expendable in video games. But I have enjoyed my share of Horror games. Some favorites of the genre:

  • Resident Evil Series (PS1,PS2,N64,DC,GC)- All of the main series, Code Veronica, and Zero are amazing!
  • Dino Crisis 1 & 2 (PS1, DC)- Yeah, they're RE clones, but that's not a bad thing.
  • Splatterhouse Series (Genesis)- Just plain fun, especially if you're a horror fan.
  • Parasite Eve (PS1) - A very original blend of RPG, horror, and action.
  • Doom 1 & 2(PC,SNES,PS1,Saturn)- A fast-paced& fun classic.
  • Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES) - The best Castlevania in the series, IMO. I love the RPG elements.
  • Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - A must-have for any PS1 owner, absolutely amazing for it's time.
  • Frankenstein: The Monster Returns (NES) - A well-made, challenging action-horror game made late in the NES's life.

Sequel of Haunting Ground? It doesn't have one. I guess, you can say that Haunting Ground is part of the Clock Tower series, maybe?

Obscure is an out of print PS2 game. The sequel is much more available. But I've played neither.... Obscure, Obscure II. And ignore the price of Obscure II at Amazon... Hitgaming, always list them too high and for some reason Amazon has them as a featured merchant, use the "new" link instead to get a more realistic, $19.99 price tag. Obscure, however is out of print and is very hard to find, your best bet for that game is used.

New copies of Fatal Frame II, and III can be bought at gamequestdirect.com. Looks like Fatal Frame 1 is only availiable via a package deal of 100 bucks, and only for the PS2, which has less features than the Xbox version for Fatal Frame I & 2. Fatal Frame 3 was never made for the Xbox, only avaliable on the PS2. And Fatal Frame IV never made it into America, for the Wii. If it ever does... I may just buy a Wii, just to play it.

Another game that has the same flavor of Fatal Frame... at least with the chanting background music is a game called Kuon... but the gameplay pretty much sucks on it. Has the same type of clumsy gameplay as Rule of Rose. Although, the story of Rule of Rose is very deep.

Eternal Darkness for my money, Sure, the Project Zeros were pretty nerve-jangling, but ED got inside your head like no other. Also, if no-one has mentioned Call of Cthulhu I'll give that a nod.

I have yet to finish eternal darkness because of the level patterns set for the green difficulty for that one WW1 level. So far I wish it really scared me the same way silent hill 3 did. But I should really invest into more cult following playstation 2 titles.

Stupid question: What's that game about?

Well, I haven't really played it all that long to know, lol. Basically, your character is a detective, I believe, and he goes to the town of Innsmouth to find out the reason for some weird things that happened back when he was on the police force. He had been investigating a house or something, and he found something in the basement that drove him insane. Seven years later, he 'wakes up' to see that he cannot remember anything from the past seven years, which is why he ventures to Innsmouth. And, strange things happen in the city and really freaky things happen.

I think this is the basic gist, but I won't swear to it.
