Horror games you think hold up?

I have to be honest, I'm still kind of new to the genre as I didn't start until I played Dead Space on PC, but what horror games do you think hold up?

Well, even though I've been playing it since Christmas, I think Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem for GameCube holds up quite well. It's nearly eleven years old and I got a perfect mix of horror, psychological thrills, and... trolling. :P

How about you?

Judging by the horror factor alone, the original SILENT HILL holds ups remarkably well.

I'm sure most anyone would still find it creepy as hell nowadays.

PROJECT ZERO II for the PS2 or XBOX is another excellent horror title.

The original Resident Evil - the controls are as scary as hell!

Yeah. KONAMI was in such top form back then. They had an awful lot of talent and made great games for practically every genre.

Now 10 years later they don't even make most of their new games. It's really a shame.

Alien vs Predator 1 and Doom 3.

I'm going with the obvious here: Resident Evil games. I still love them. They're perfect for horror fans that grew up with video rental places nearby. They have that same fun vibe to them.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for Xbox/PC. Though it may not be as well known around the gaming world, it is still a decent psychological-horror thriller.

The suffering is one of my personal fav

Clock Tower on the SNES.

Is Half Life 1 actually considered a horror game?

Probably not, but I do because it's a creepy game that has fairly limited ammo for the most part and it's not a typical fps game.

Silent Hill 2 and 3. SH2 is still great and SH3 made me almost sh!t myself a few times. Played them both for the first time this year.

Mostly echoing what's already been said but:

RE 1, 2, 3, Veronica, 4, Re-make, 0. PS2 and GC for the last two.

Silent Hill 1 through 3. SH2 and SH3 in particular are among the most memorable. The PS2 versions are the best.

Eternal Darkness - GC

Call of Cthulhu - PS2/PC

If you don't mind going really old school, there are a ton of Point and Click adventure games that are horror themed. Some of them are actually pretty unsettling. The Phantasmagoria series is pretty dated but they are mostly FMV based games so they hold up alright. Phantasmagoria 2 in particular had some decent production values and a lot of little touches along with a very twisted story.

There's some more "laid-back" horror games that in my opinion still hold up rather well. However, you have to be more of a certain type of player to appreciate them.

D NO SHOKUTAKU, TORICO, ENEMY ZERO, NEBULA : ECHO NIGHT etc.

I'm also a fan of the TWILIGHT SYNDROME series on the PlayStation. It's a shame they never brought a single one to the west.

enemy zero. although the game is very hard and is a bit of a hit and miss with people's tastes but the graphics, amtosphere, tension and everything holds up very well

silent hill 100%, only graphically it hurts now somewhat, but amazing game

Resident Evil 2

Silent Hill

Eternal Darkness

ALL the RE games (yes, ALL of them including the ones you think suck... You know who you are.)

Silent Hill series

Haunting Ground

Call of C'Thulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (wickedly awesome)

Resident Evil Remake (GC).

Silent Hill 1, 2 & 3.

All of them are pure gold.

This isn't really a horror game, per se, but Luigi's Mansion is still a good game. Like I said, not really scary, but there were some surprisingly unsettling moments in the game, at least to me. It was surprisingly atmospheric and dark in certain places, especially if you take into consideration the urban legend that Luigi is dead the whole time. Here is an article that discusses it. It's number five on the list.

I had to torrent it because I found out it was never released in Europe, and I don't even think it's on steam or online or anything :/ I want a hard copy dammit

Besides, even if that was true, a lot of PC games are region free, so I bet you can possibly play the US version on a UK PC.

Yeah, that's why I torrented it but I can't find the box + disc anywhere, pretty hard to come by..

[QUOTE="Arach666"][QUOTE="Dudersaper"]And here I thought I was the only one here that liked the game. I never see anybody mention it but myself. NirdBerd
