I've never played any true "horror" genre games, but I know that Metroid Prime can make you feel apprehensive and claustrophobic. I think it's because of the way that the helmet curves in around the screen, making you feel confined. I'm going to eventually pick up RE4 for the Wii, and see what a truly scary game is.Tylendal

RE4 is not a scary game. Its just an action game. It has maybe 1 or 2 scary parts, but thats it.

Silent Hill 1.

Doom 3 and F.E.A.R didn't scare me at all.

For me the scariest game that I ever played was Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requieme. I don't know if it is really that scary but that's cause i don't pklay alot of Horror games. Th e thing that is scariest about it is whn your sanity bar goes empty, if you don't know what I am talking about, look it up. Also the 2 zombie levels in Timesplitters 3 are pretty disturbing, but i am just afraid of zombies.

Silent Hill 2 - For its psychological mind games, and deep plot

Silent Hill 3 - Scary visuals, such as mutating walls and really disturbing creatures & plot

Fatal Frame - Just scary...

EDIT: I just rememberd playing or rather should I say, TRYING to play System Shock 2, but I was a sissy and couldnt get passed some areas because some of the atmospheric sounds that just scared me away :lol:

First game scare had to also be Friday the 13th on the Nes. Next the to the rest of the NES lineup it really did give a kid a shock. As a adult gamer Eternal Darkness for Gamecube clever instanity pranks gave me a good mental freak.

The game that frightened me the most was SS2. I played it when i was 13 or so and always played it late at night. The atmosphere in that game was amazing.

My faves were. "Thanks for Playing Eternal Darkness demo. Coming this fall". Screen appearing with all the typical preorder banter. And reloading your handgun and accidently having misfire taking your head off.

scariest I played was RE4. Sometimes, I just can't play any further when I reach the part with the Regenerators. That game also had the best music.

I know, I should broaden my horizons. there are probably lots of scarier games out there.

Yes, there are scarier games, but I agree that the Regenerators are very creepy. But they are also the game's creepiest enemies.. I hate the way they breathe.

I thought Resident Evil was insanely scary, images of the Gamecube remake still keep me up at night...But I think Silent Hill 3 might've been the scariest of all, it's not the Resident Evil style "pop out in your face" scary, but rather paranormally spooky.

Silent hill 1 and 2, damn freaky games. Here's a nice little flash game that will make you cry like a baby.

http://uploads.ungrounded.net/189000/189227_exmortis.swf

I dare you to play it...

xxcommixx

Im a hardcore horror game fan and all i gotta say is, wow that was just awsome, great little game, really fun. Thanks for sharing :D

S**T dude. I started playing the game, but then I was too chicken to even go inside the house, LOL. I youtube'd it, and I was even afraid to watch the video.

God that was awfull :(

What are you supposed to do exactly? I get to the picture of the house and then nothing happens. There's nothing to click. Just the house and the moving background image.

Half-Life. I was 5 or 6, and I always watched my dad play it. It scared the crap out of me on multiple occasions. Looking back on it now, it isn't as scary, but it's still great.

REmake scared the crap out of me when I was younger, now games don't generally scare me as much, what really disturbed me and gave me shivers was the regenerators in Resident Evil 4, I remember first fighting one, shooting it's legs off and having it flop after me, just thinking about it gives me the shivers.

the scariest game I've ever seen was resident evil for the playstation. My brother would purposely kill himself in that game to scare the crap out of me. He was standing in a hall way and a zombie starting walking towards him, so he started shooting his gun and missing on purpose and he's like oh no what do I do? with a smile on his face. Then the zombie gets him and I run away screaming. One night he's like "if you hear scratching on your window, don't hide under your covers or they'll break in and eat your brains" and he went outside and scratched on my window while I was trying to sleep. FREAKIN JERK! But I'm not scared by video games anymore.

One of the best games that hardly anyone knows about. I wish someone would just remake it for a new console. I'd play it again.

Any of those low bit shooters like Doom and so, just because the image of the enemy was so low bit that you didn't know what the hell just attacked you. It just jumped out of nowhere and its like "WTF is that!"

F.E.A.R seems quite scary through the demo,

Any Silent Hill game.

I thought the Eerie music at times in Eternal Darkness was quite creepy.

I really cruious about Fatal Frame, its seems quite good.

Resident Evil 4 had it moments.

I think I may pick up Eternal Darkness soon...it looked like a great game...

Anyway F.E.A.R. had me freaked out at first, but the second time through I kinda ruined it by doing stupid stuff to Alma...like throwing grenades at her whenever she appeared and meleeing her effigy...

RE4 was a joke, I didn't really think it was scary at all...REmake was a lot creepier though.

Condemned. Hands down. I seriously had to set the controller down and take a break. F.E.A.R was scary too, especially on surroun sound at night, and i'd totally forget the speakers would be up.

Condemned has my vote for sure though.

i agree. it has definitely been one of the games that has caused me the most anxiety while playing it. compared to remake re4 was not scary at all. in re4 you had unlimited saves, a good camera, good shooting controls, and abundant ammunition . Beating remake was pretty stressful.

Not the game, but the second surface mission in Goldeneye where it's dark and you can't see the guys with the Klobbs. Jesus, I was in 7th grade and I couldn't get past that level for a good month.-Dionysus-

Geez, I remember that level... the sky was all red and stuff.

A game that I fully finished.. Probably Condemed but I think the scariest might be Penumbra, the demo was freaking spooky.
