I think anybody who calls themselves a gamer has tried at last one good spooky game, be it the more softhearted Resident Evil series, to the downright disturbing horrors like Fatal Frame. So I ask, what do you think the scariest, or some of the the scariest, games are? For me:

-Fatal Frame 2.I coud onlyget ahold of this one, itjust TRIES to make you wet yourselfanyway it can!Distrubing ghosts, insane screen dostortions, thecutscenes are scarier than the gameplay attimes!Petrifying this one...

-Silent Hillseries... Ohhow I love thee disturbing monsters, horrifying enviroments, eerie ideologies, spooky sound effects, and generally frightening takes on humanity in general. No game can get in your head like the Silent Hill series, particularily 2 and 3. Wow.

-Sonic Spinball. Of course this one would be on the list. Some of the best scares can come from, pain, and sometimes what you see from a distance that makes it even scarier. Remember the nuke in Call of Duty? You didn't even see anyone dying considering the camera, but you knew what was occuring just watching it. Spinball took this to a higher degree, you as Sonic are attempting to save your animal allies from mutation by attempting to destroy the hellish labrynth build by the demented Doctor Robotnik. What is most frightening is when you blow it up! Imagine the toxic clouds of pollution spreading about the sea, poisoning water, and eventually reaching islands of innocent creatures galore. In the end, even if you succeed, you are only hurting the creatures you are trying to save... Plus look at how Sonic moves, spinning thousands of miles per hour, smashing brutally against walls, spikes, only to be shot back up again by the cold, soul-less paddles... All the suffering he endures just to save the ones he loves. Inspiring and terrifying, I don't think any game has ever acheived a combination of both quite as perfectly.

I lol'd.

But seriously, I'd select Fatal Frame 2, Silent Hill 1, and the Condemned series.

The entire Fatal Frame series, though especially FFIII for me becuase of the whole 'dreams seeping into the real world' thing it had going on, and the first three SIlent Hill games are by far the scariest games I've ever played. Nothing else really comes close.

Cooking Mama: Cook Off (WII)

That is the most dimented, twisted, and insane game to ever lay its eyes on the world of gaming. I crapped my pants after watching the opening intro. Everytime I see a cooking utinsel, I try to bulge my eyes out.

I would have to say the Condemned series, and some missions in games that weren't really scary got pretty tense. MGS4 get's really freaky when you are trying to hide and an enemycomes close enough to reache out and touch him.

No we can't.

Also, i'm giving props to Bob the Builder: Festival of Fun (DS)for making me crap. It has the dialogue that anyone would expect from the mentally insane, such as "Bob the Builder, can we fix it? Bob the Builder, yes we can!". I just scared myself :cry:

Dead Space and Silent Hill 2. Before SH2 I loved playing survival horror games, but that game did something to me and I've turned into a total pansy. I tried Dead Space and loved it, but after about mission 7 I couldn't do it. The game was freaking me out.

The moment that stands out in my mind most for scariest game would be silent hill 3 during the otherworld hospital, first hallway you step into after the change is red and pulsating. Its Sooooooo disorienting, thats what made it freaky for me, i couldent find my way out bcause I couldent even find the doors!

Definitley condemned,probably because of the first person immersion. The sound effects were pretty intense at the time also. I do not find Silent Hill scary as much as disturbing,though the series is my favorite horror games of all time.

I'm not really one for horror games, but I did start Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. I didn't make it very far into the game at all yet, though.

Silent Hill Series, Resident Evil Series. All that I really payed attention to. There are plenty of other under the radar or ones that I really didn't care much for. Siren, Fatal Frame, Condemned, Clock Tower, and I'm sure 5 or so more games. :P

resident evil series. i thought that was scary because they used bad tactics to scare a person. if i walked down a hallway then zombies would just randomly break through a window. it also got me nervous to play because of the game was bit hard. just about every thing u did would get a zombie or monster to come out of anywhere.

Like I said, I only played it briefly, but the time I did play it I was pretty much freaked out the entire time. Wandering through a broken down old town on the sea, sneaking through a murder scene, stumbling into someone's house and finding a woman hanging from a noose. Yeah, definitely has it's disturbing moments. I definitely recommend it from what I've played of it so far though.

I tried to play Fatal Frame once (can't remember which one, either 1 or 2) and I couldn't it was too much for me. Though Supernatural and Pshychological horror gets to me more than gore or monsters.

Condemned is pretty scary, though only from the setting and things jumping out at you from the darkness.

Silent hill does it best for me, I like the fact the story and atmosphere stay with me afterwards for a while. I found condemned freaky but I also found it to be a little boring, glad I only rented it.

Of the scary games I've played, nothing beats FEAR. I can handle zombies, aliens, and whatnot. It's the ghosts that freak me out.

The Fatal Frame series, Doom3 and Resident Evil: REmake probably the only horror themed games to scare me.

I'll have to say "The Thing" The large monsters were scary as hell since bullets didn't kill them and only fire did, but when they caught fire they came charging at you as to take you down with them. That and you never knew if your team mates were infected and with me they always revealed themselves at the worst possible times.

I completely agree with your choices, Fatal Frame 1 was one of the scariest games I've ever played, and yet felt so compelled by it that I bought part 3 and just last week I got my hands on Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly. I can't wait to set some time aside and be scared out of my senses. Silent Hill 1 also did an excellent job with its take on psychological fear.

Ill leave the obvious out, ...

The Suffering: Ties that bind was pretty scary IMO.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened was scary in a quirky b-movie sense (creepy)
Ecstactia, an old PC game scared me too
X-Com Ufo Defense
Alien vs. Predator 2
Clive Barker's Undying
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi

Take care,

System Shock 2.

Every other single scary game that has forced me to stop playing it because I was freaked out by it (STALKER, Doom 3, Condemned, etc.), I've gone back to and finished. Its been over two years and I have yet to go back to SS2 yet... and don't really plan to.

I just got this game a couple of weeks ago, and I really want to play it. Unfortunately, I don't handle freaky games very well. I finished watching all of the movie a couple of days after the game, and the movie alone freaked me out. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the game... :?

Horror games that come to mind: Doom, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Dead Space, Resident Evil, Call of Cthulhu and Eternal Darkness.

There needs to be more good horror games!! I love them! I saw Crystasis, but my computer wouldn't be able to handle it.
