So what is the scariest game this gen so far, SW?

Title says it all. Another thread got me thinking about horror games, so what would you say is the scariest game this gen? I would say the scariest one I have played through was Condemned: Criminal Origins. The atmosphere was just so well done and claustrphobic, I recently replayed it and I got scared a few times.

I think an honorable mention should go to Silent Hill Homecoming. The atmosphere was very, very well done, particularly in levels like the Grand Hotel.

inb4 overrated Amnesia.

I honestly can come up with one.*let me think*

Nothing comes close to Amnesia.

Amnesia and maybe Bioshock, not scary but creepy as hell >.>

Amnesia is brilliant.

It would sell well on xbox live or PSN.

The only game I've ever played that scared me was REmake...but that was last gen so nevermind.

I'm not much of a PC gamer so I've never played Amnesia. Has there been any word on it coming to Xbox 360 or Ps3?

Probably Amnesia (it's the only one I can think of). I just play Silent Hill 2 when I need a horror game (thank you 60gb BC PS3)

I never played all of Condemned 1, but I did beat Condemned 2. 2 was scary, but the first was a MUCH better horror game and I hope to see a sequel then can take the best parts from both games, and do away with the terrible "cult" story the second had.

actually it was rereleased on wii as resident evil chronicles: resident evil

so you say this gen.. :P

i havnt played any horror games besides the one you mentioned and bioshock.. REmake has more jump scares...but bioshock is phychologically scarier..

wheres siren blood curse?

I was playing Amnesia last night and nearly crapped my pants in the Storage Room section. I haven't been scared by any game/movie in a very long time

When does Dead Space get scary? I'm on chapter 5 I believe and haven't even been startled. I haven't played much Amnesia, it's gotten burried in the backlog, but I'm sure that's the scariest game from what I've heard.

Amnesia has a fantastic creepy atmosphere. It's a game that can scare you so simply.

I haven't played Amnesia. I own it, but my POS computer won't run it. So I really can't comment on it.

For me the original Dead Space in a room with the lights off, with surround sound and headphones made me jump a few times. For some reason the second DS didn't do that once. Silent Hill and Condemned did nothing. I can't say any game scared me, but DS surprised me a few times.

None. I finished Amnesia during the night only on one setting with my headphones on, didn't scare me at all... NerubianWeaver

Lucky @#$%@#&. I was scared $#!+les! :o

Bioshock. Rarely has a game that let me be Zeus, The Pain, and Roy Mustang left me feeling so...unnerved.:?

And how the hell is Dead Space even remotely scary!?:o

That insta-kill skull in Terraria gave me a good scare.

Well besides Amnesia, no game this gen was really "scary," some had intense moments like Silent Hill HC when you explore your house, or Siren when the monsters would flock at you. Some parts of Cursed Mountain weren't scary but still errie, to bad the controls ruined that experience.

STALKER games can be pretty scary if you approach it like a horror game. If you don't have any night vision, it's insanely scary at night. It's actually dark when it's cloudy, you can barely see anything.

Amnesia easily with minecraft right behind it.

Worst thing ever to see when you're in a dark cave is a creeper. :cry:

Penumbra scared me quite a bit. Amnesia wasn't as scary as many said.

That water beast scene was so over-rated by SW.

Dead Space and Dead Space 2 are the scariest games I've played this generation. Alan Wake is pretty creepy, too.

Eh, Bioshock and Metro 2033.

I don't play games that are actually 'scary.'

I'm surpirsed no one has mentioned this game.... it scared the crap out of me!

Dead Space for me thanks to how lacking this gen has been in the horror genre....

It doesn't. I found the first few chapters to be very suspenseful, but never scary. The game is a shooter, you might jump a few times here and there, but it's hardly a true horror game.

Play it at night alone, with headphones on.

I bet you, you wont be sleeping that night after that playtrough.

Siren: Blood Curse was pretty scary...
