hmm... i guess Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, Condemned: Criminal Origins, FEAR and Doom3 + expansion are been my scariest games. and maybe Manhunt. But i believe Clive Barker's Jericho at the end of year shows what the word scary truly means.

Alien vs Predator 2+ Expansion. Cheap on ebay now and multiplayer is still alive. Doom 3 is pretty scary. If you've never played Thief: The Dark Project, buy the Gold edition off Ebay. It's a stellar 1990's game that lead the way for stealth action games.

I remember, about 5 years ago I was playing ALIEN VS PREDATOR, the game was so scary that I pushed pause, invited few friends and resumed playing only then they came.

After 3 years I and my friend were playing SILENT HILL, don't remember which one, but zombies were creepy though. And when one of us was playing, the other one was patroling the room with  AN ANTLER.

i once played thief deadly shadows asylum level to show the game for my friend. as i searched the ruums the very first mummy-guy secretly lured behind me. when i turned garret around he was attacking. i was spooked. but not as much as my friend! he sit but with one small second he jumped (luckyly he didn't hit his head to the ceiling) and ran away. his face was red as.... damn he was scared! one way it is/was very funny but other way i was probably bad experience.
and one other friend didn't finish the AVP or AVP2 because he was too terrified to continue. I always planed to play this game, i guess i even have it somewhere but somehow haven't played. maybe this summer.

As you grow older games become less scary because you mature and know what's real and what's not. If you get scared from a game you should overcome you fear by beating it.

 Now there's a difference between being scared and being annoyed. Far Cry is a great example of that. I could beat that game but I just can't put up with the checkpoint system. Also the quicksave function requires ini editing which I am not going to bother with. Plus a patch which is fine but it shouldn't require editing in the INI.

I'd say Condemned and to a point FEAR.

Condemned is pretty much creepy all the way through. FEAR like most horror games gets all actioney towards the end, but it works in FEAR since it is more action than horror to start with.

It's not just all actioney towards the end but it's also very lame how they have these "ghosts" or whatever to attack you... it's like they're not trying to keep up with that "something's-creeping-in-the-dark-and-that's-what's-scaring-you" feel to scare you anymore.

system shock 2 is easily the most frightening game i've ever played on pc - most other games only manage shock, or at best panic, but system shock 2 managed to evoke full blown fear through a number of excellent mechanics working in tandem, mainly the awesome use of sound, the wrongness of the enemies and the limited supplies you have

arguing over what's scary is a little pointless - it's like arguing over what's funny

in the same way that different people are amused by different things, different people are frightened by different things - i found doom 3, as an example, far more annoying that frightening - being shocked with enemies jumping out at me is the single most derivative, predictable and overused horror mechanic in the history of horror computer games

i've only found 2 pc games ever genuinely frightening, and besides system shock 2 (which i mentioned myself) no one mentioned either of the games on my list... such is relativity

Doom III + Resurrection Of Evil, Silent Hill 2 & 3 (enabling screen noise adds a lot to the atmosphere), F.E.A.R. + Extraction Point, The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind.  

Not exactly whole game, but one level from Half-Life 2 called ''We don't go to Ravenholm'' is scarry as hell too:D

I'm playing SS2 right now, it's starting to become very creepy... It's not as scary as it is nervewrecking, you're on the edge all the time never knowing what's going to happen next. I hate it when I turn around and a 2 by 4 smacks me in my face. I'm taking a break from it right now, lol...

Alien Versus Predator 2. The marine missions are terrifying. You feel very weak and the sound detector makes things worse.

 

FEAR isn't scary. It has some shock moments, but it isn't scary.

Doom 3 is kinda scary, but you get used to it after a while.

If you play late at night with the sound way up then Doom 3 will scare you. I don't care how hard you are you will jump at one point.
