The scariest computer game ever made? (All platforms)

Hey Guys,

I would love to know what everyone thinks is the most "terryfying blood curdling and frightening from beginning to end computer game" ever made.

My vote is "Condemned Criminal Origins".

I don't know why, but I packed quite a few pairs of underpants during the playing of this game.

Any thoughts on anything that could be better?

:)

The Silent Hill, Fatal Frame and Condemned games are the only games I can say actually scared me and I've played quite a large selection of horror titles.

I found the pshyocogical elements found throughout all the games to be pretty unsettling. They all maintain a good layer of tension throughout, which is pretty rare these days.

From those that I have played, FEAR and Condemned.

Hope I get to try out the Fatal Frame series once in my life cos the trailers themselves scare the crap out of me

System Shock 2. I've only played the demo, and it still scared the crap outta me. I'd hate to think what the rest of the game is like.

Also, the Thief games. In particular, The Shalebridge Cradle in Thief III. Many believe it to be the scariest game level of all time

Silent Hill by a longshot. I never play that game without the lights on.:?

I have to say Trespasser, to the point where I couldn't even continue playing it, it got my heart racing so fast. No game has ever been able to portray such a sense of helplessness at that game, since you usually play a superfreak or crazy marine or whatever.MyopicCanadian

YOU HAVE WON THE INTERNET!

SOMEONE WHO REMEMBERS TRESPASSER.

Seriously. You Win. Awesome.

Excellent!

I'm going to look up Tresspasser and most definately Silent Hill and Fatal Frame from what you guys are saying so far..

Alone in the Dark 2, Fatal Frame (Project Zero in europe) 3, and Forbidden Siren are games I could not play to the end.

That said, Clock Tower for PS1 (Clock Tower 2 in Japan) was a game I could barely start. I never got past the very first scissorman section because I was literally screaming and had to run out of the room and get my mum to turn the console off (i was like 10 at the time, but even now it unnerves me to the point I cannot play it)

Excellent!

It gets a 3.9 from Gamespot, yikes.

I don't know about you guys but the only time I was genuinely terrified was when playing Resident Evil Remake. Everything is so unsettling and you're always expecting the worst when walking through the dark corridors. Once I played on a sunday, the clock was near 00:00, I kept playing and playing, and all of a sudden the clock was 04:10 and I totally forgot about sleeping properly for school. Needless to say I was tired the next day.

That said, I've yet to play Silent Hill.

Awesome :D Now what to do with my winnings...

Playing through FEAR at like midnight when was really tired, I just about had a heart attack

I found myself changing my underwear in a scared way, after playing all of the following -

The Project Zero (aka Fatal Frame) trilogy

Haunting Ground (like, holy crap - right from the start the context is completely twisted !)

I really enjoyed the creepy atmosphere for the Resident Evil remake

Also, the first two levels of Clock Tower 3 are excellent..... er.... I don;t know quite what they were thinking with the other ones, especially the crappy scissor siblings :P the first two are unhinged though, I really liked the first half of the game !

:D Also, you get to see a crappy little posh girl being smacked with a sledgehammer by a big grunt a lot, throughout the first level - *bonus* haha ! do i get to say that here ? (looks around depravedly) gehehe ;)
