The scariest game you've ever played?

F.E.A.R ... Amnesia wasn't scary, imo.

Honestly probably Silent Hill 4: The Room. I don't think I could even play it for more than a few hours...

Hmm, maybe it's time to try again. :)

Eternal Darkness :(

I would say F.E.A.R., mainly because I don't play very many horror games.

I would love to say Amnesia though, I just haven't played it yet.

Resident Evil Remake for the Gamecube.

f.e.a.r

i go in guns blazing and wreck an army of soldiers and then a little girl walks towards me incinerating everyone and everything around me. as a gamer im just like so what ive got a gun with matrix powers so i slow down time and then somehow she slows down my slow down and the bullets bounce away as i am killed by alma

Fatal Frame. Never had a game scare me so bad I couldn't say a word until I played that. Though Silent Hill is starting to get there.

Haven't played Amnesia, but I hope to in the future and I found the Resident Evil games fun, not scary.

*couldn't find the screen I was looking for but in RE2 this hallway has the wost scare I ever had when I was a child playing games. On random intervals once a game if you got close to the boarded up windows zombie hands would JAM through the windows and try and pull your through the boards...scared me to hell and back. Likewise in the Evidence room

I hate that room...

Also I have to say Silent Hill series has giving me the worst unerving feelings in the world. People who don't get scared by video games are the same people who can't get scared by movies for the most part. People not willing to be scared and let themselves enjoy the experience *subliminal machoism*.

Resident Evil 2 because I was just a kid playing by myself back in '98.

Hands down for me would be Condemned 2: Bloodshot. I didn't find F.E.A.R that scary and both Dead Space games weren't that scary either. Condemned 2 really got to me though.

Silent Hill 2 stands out. I rented that game many times when I was 11 and 12. My parents never knew. To be honest I think that was a bad idea. I was so freaked out by the game but I wanted to keep playing. So now I have childhood memories of pyramid heads and grotesquely disfigured creatures. FUN!PS2_ROCKS

Condemded and the suffering.

Amnesia

Siren blood curse :S don't play the game unless you like to psychologically torture yourself :S

Shadowgate on the NES scared the **** out of me back in the day. Never completed it.

Also Silent Hill1 demo that came with MGS1. Those damn babies with knives....

How anyone can be spooked by onscreen action is beyond me.eNT1TY

UFO: Enemy Unknown (a.k.a X-COM: Ufo Defense) had me pretty scared several times (especially on terror missions - when you order your marine to move out of the transport ship and suddenly a plasma shot comes from somewhere in the dark and your guy is lying dead on the ground),but overall the most scary one was probably F.E.A.R.

Really? That's the opposite for me. If there is a media form that can express fear the best is a video game. In both the movies and books you are just the spectator and nothing depends on you. Of course it can be immersive but never at the same level as a video game. A book may create anxiety but that's the furthest it can go. I never jumped while reading a book or closed it out of fear. A movie may provide anxiety and jump scares but it still lacks your own input. In Amnesia for example everything depends on you. It's you the protagonist. In order for the story to continue is you that must slowly open that door or go through that dark corridor. That's a responsibility that further adds immersion and fear. Video games just lack the creativity talents that books and movies had for ages but as a media is the ultimate tool to create horror.

Definitely Amnesia

Picture them as Penguins and they aint so scary. :P

Of what I've played, FEAR. The first Dead Space had its moments as well. I'm not game enough to play Amnesia.

Edit: I love these topics. It brings out all the nerve-of-steel bad-asses that chill on our little gaming forum here. :lol:

Hah I got one better.

I watched the movie IT when I was 2 years old...

As for the topic, Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame 2 are easily the scariest games I have ever played.

I actually remember having nightmares featuring Pennywise. Some of the only nightmares I have ever had in my life.

IDK how clear my memories are from THEN of the movie, especially seeing as I have watched it multiple times since then, but I know I had those nightmares and I know I saw it as my parents remember.

I guess I have some epic memory though, as I had remembered clear as day some music videos on MTV that I saw as a tot.

Deadspace 1 and 2

Dead Space for me...

also one of the older Silent Hills spooked me too... might have been 2.

I actually found Alan Wake scary.... I get caught up in my games' atmosphere alot.

Doom 3, to this day it still scare the s*** outta me, I've played Dead Space 1 and 2 and does not find it that scary.

I've never been scared by a game, I find the attempts to be rather childish or shock valued

Either it's Batman: Arkham Asylum, or Minecraft. I don't want to lose my hard-earned diamonds!

Amnesia :P

Im not going to mention Silent Hill 2 because that game is synonymous with fear. So I'll go with Silent Hill 3 :D ...

Yeah it would have to be the Fatal Frame series but specifically the first one. Talk about an unnerving experience. Great use of atmosphere and the unknown. And only having a camera to kill ghosts? Genius!

Resident Evil 4

Dead Strike a lot more enjoyable and scarier than majority of the blockbuster "horror" games out these days.
I enjoyed the graphics aswell.

Games aren't scary.Badosh

I won't often do this as it scares so many but, I'm going to look into the future and say Sega's...

Rise of Nightmares... Kinected. :P

Back on the PS1 era: Silent Hill

This Gen: Amnesia (haven't finished it yet though)
