I agree on:

Vampire the masquerade: bloodlines (unofficial patch fixes problems)

System shock 2 (stay away from 1)

Undying

Darker corners of the earth (first half)

Condemned (sometimes)

STALKER (also sometimes)

Penumbra (spelling?)

AvP (The marine part to be exact, it can get intense, and not the shooty kind, just looking at the scanner, hearing those bleps, still gives me the chills)

These games are very good scary games, mainly because they do not emply the "pop up shock" effects, that most games use, they do nto shock you, they scare you. Through atmopsphere, sound, and general story.

if you like cheap shocks (some find them scary, the rest of us just annoying)

Dead Space (while it has some good atmosphere, it employies the scares in the embodyment of shock uses)

FEAR (ok it is supernatural, I get it, but honestly most of it again comes at sudden flashes, and pop ins)

DOOM 3 (yeah the champ of monster closets, good sound tho)

I never really found Dead Space to be scary. From recent games, Penumbra is the scariest I've played.

When you've got real guns at Dead Space, it's like a walk in a park of gore.

Well, if the original question-asker didn't find a game to pick up already, I might as well give ya my personal opinon : )

I have Dead Space for the 360, which had a very creepy atmosphere, but is extremely disappointing in the "make-you-jump" factor. In a scary game, I love for things to pop out at me and make me yell, like Doom 3. I have to admit though, that Dead Space is very intense when you are playing on Impossible difficulty and being chased by a Regenerator guy.

But yeah, I would look for games like FEAR 2 and Doom 3 for pop-out stuff that makes you jump.

Other creepy atmospheres and creatures would be stuff like Jericho, Silent Hill, and some Resident Evil games.

I'd have to go with most of your picks. I found FEAR 2 scarier than the 1st, but some people didn't. I thought the 2nd was incredibly disorienting and immersive, but not to a fault. Dead Space had a lot of different scares. There was a lot of pop-up scary stuff, but they changed it up. The zero-grav/zero-air parts really got to me. I'd recommend Silent Hill 3 out of all the SH games for the PC. It's a pretty decent port.

I have played Undying when I was 9 years old until the end{ I was either brave or stupid to play a trulyM rated game in that age}. that was very scary. I hope I never see a game like that again{of course it was awesome at gameplay}.

Stalker is good too. it isn't scary though. It gives you a feel that we can't call it fear. It makes you feel lonely so much and weak too.

You shouldn't take Yahtzee's reviews that seriously, he's a comediant, not a game reviewer..
