Pretty simple question. What's the scariest game you've ever played? Made you feel uneasy or whatever.

Anyone remember the first Clock Tower for the PS1? Holy Crap that game made me **** my pants when i was a kid.

Fatal Frame II. That game gave me nightmares.

I haven't played Amnesia yet, but I will soon.

Amnesia and Afraid of Monsters DC. Hopefully Cry of Fear will be very scary like AoM.

Indeed. Games generaly can't be scary... not even tryng to be.

The closest thing to a scary experience for me was Silent Hill 1 on PS, but that was when I was a kid.

Amnesia changed that... good lord, that game is frightening.

The ghost that chases you while you're in the towers of Mario Bros 2 used to freak me out when I was 5. No game has scared me since then though. I don't think it's possible at my age. Something might be able to shock me by having crap pop out from behind a corner though.

Penumbra: Overture. I still have to finish it though, and I haven't played Amnesia. It wasn't that scary, I really had to try to get scared to be scared, if you know what I mean.

Some of the dungeons in Oblivion are pretty scary. Seriously, I'm actually scared when those damn Trolls or Timber Wolves just jump the f*** out of nowhere at me. Mass Effect 2's ending also scared me, but not in a "Oh my god that's so startling/creepy!" kinda way, more of a "Oh my God me and my friends are probably going to die here". My whole squad made it out alive though, so it's cool.

What makes it so terrifying? Feel free to go into detail and spoil it, I doubt I'll ever play the game anyway.

I'm easily startled, and doom3 being so dark probably made me jump more than any game, but... scared? Never been scared in a game.

Amensia was scary in the beginning, but by half-way through the game, I pretty much realized there is only one enemy, and I became way too comfortable with that (in other words, I pretty much knew how to survive every encounter with it for the rest of the game, sapping the fear factor out).

A good horror game should always introduce the unpredictable, new horror monsters and elements that keep you on your toes, Amensia failed to do this unfortunately (still a very good game).

I honestly find the atmosphere (and creatures) in Stalker to be much more engaging, since there is always that feeling that I never know what I'm going to find when I go in those dark labs and caves (and not to mention, Chernobyl itself is so bleak and mysterious).

I haven't played many horror games, but Bioshock could be kinda creepy sometimes.

I got a lot from the earlier days but Silent Hill 2 left the biggest impact in terms of the horror factor.

Amnesia looks like a good skin crawler but something I could find myself finishing. Thats coming from someone who doesnt typically play horror games. I can get a good sense of how I would feel playing it. Foxhound fox always mentions system shock, and so I looked it up. I probably wouldnt even make it 3 hours.

As for playing a game, a few of the silent hill games made me pretty uneasy back in my younger days.

System Shock 2 isn't scary either, but thankfully, it's still a hell of a great game, a must-play classic (if you can get it to run that is).

Fatal Frame and Silent Hill series. I enjoyed Amnesia because of the hide and seek style gameplay. Made me on the edge, much like MGS, but not scary at all.

I don't know about the scariest but, among the ones that I felt perturbed in some way: Amnesia, Call of Cthulhu, Condemned, Silent Hill.

I even had to play in little bits Doom 3 and F.E.A.R., because I felt perturbed at some points. :oops:

Amnesia. It's not really super scary or anything but I do find myself hesitating which is something that doesn't happen in other games. This gen has been incredibly weak when it comes to scares.

Well I was talking about the the original MGS. It's just the tension I feel when I'm forced to sneak around.

When I was a kid, my brothers and I took turns playing the older Resident Evil games and Silent Hill for PS1. No other experience were scarier than those games at night in the dark. I remember one night the power went out while we were playing and it just creeped us out even more.

We recently tried the same thing with Dead Space 2 and it felt much more action-packed than being actually scary.

Probably Amnesia. I don't really get scared in games but Amnesia was actually one of the few games that I have to admit got my heart really pumping. Most of time I was actually more afraid of running into a monster then when I actually meet them.

Amnesia the dark descent definitely. Although, when I was younger I may have been slightly more scared from parts in Eternal Darkness. You have to keep in mind though the age difference. Amnesia is clearly one of the scariest games ever made if it was able to put a scare in me at my age.
