Eeeek! F.E.A.R (First Encounter Assault Recon) Damn I hate Alma she is much scarier When she is lil!
System Shock 2 is by far the most frightening PC game I've ever played. I would rate it a 9/10 for fear factor. It has horrible looking and sounding enemies, it has scarce resources, it has a profound sense of chlaustrophobia and isolation. Random respawns can send me into mad animal panics.
The marine campaign in Aliens vs Predator is one of the most impressive works of fear I've ever experienced. Lots of darkness, lots of very fast, very lethal enemies and wonderful use of sound. 7/10. Caused extreme panic, but not pure fear.
F.E.A.R, I would rate a 3/10. Its only effective fear mechanic is shock - which is not only the weakest possible fear device, it was also very predictably used in F.E..A.R. It's a horror themed game, but there's just no way it's a horror game. Screw subjectivity, if you find F.E.A.R scary you're under 13 years old or a girl.
The only game I would rate a 10/10 for fear is Silent Hill 1 (on playstation). It just has everything, plus a very melancholic story which just seems to aplify my sense of fear. I found Silent Hill 2 and 3 extremely tame by comparison, and didn't even bother with 4. But the original... man... it's a horror masterpiece, and one of the best stories I've ever experienced in a game.
Resident Evil is really just about shocks. It manages those shocks extremely well, but not much else. 4/10.
Doom 3 is like a 7/10 for the opening few hours - the see-or-shoot mechanic is pretty smart, and for the first hour or two it did work on me, but it quickly became pretty tedious. 4/10 after the first couple hours.

i'm not under 13 years old or a girl and i found it scary. i don't find system shock 2 scary (a bit spooky and eery, perhaps). anyone who finds sytem shock 2 frightening is a prepubescent boy or a wuss. now, just cuz i say it doesn't make it true, eh? subjectivity is key.

don't you tease me! :cry:
Silent Hill. any of them. well propably 3 or 4 since the still look pretty good these days.
STALKER is also good. i just love the free roaming in it.
Silent Hill Series I cant finish I find it so freakish.
System Shock 2 is jump out of your seat insanity.
Alien Vs Predator 1&2 Playing as the Marine is also very scary.Zemus
i agree AVP as marine was scarey.
though the scariest game i've played was cliver barkers undying.
Doom, Fear and stalker weren't scarey tbh.
I'm sorry but honestly little dead girls are the scariest thing ever for some random reason. Call me what you will but i find any game/movie with dead little girls in them scary, ie the ring, the grudge, ect. Second scariest thing is when your in a dark place (in a game of course) and you know somethings there and not attacking yet, thats scary to me.
So in gaming terms id have to say that probably FEAR, and Doom 3 are pretty scary. Then Silent Hill, that game is really scary.
