Doom, only because it popularized a genre that I don't like.

Gotta go with Silent Hill. Unlike Doom, I still enjoy the Silent Hill franchise. And Akira's compositions can't be matched in the genre. So haunting and beautiful.

Dead Space whenever Extraction releases and we can consider it a "series". Since we only have 2 choices though, I'm going with Silent Hill, never really considered Doom horror.

Has to be a play on words, since Doom isn't scary at all.

Also maybe "big" kids dont play horror games as they must ...

Dark room , HEADPHONES ( yeap ) , good volume and gogo... Then maybe youll understand why FEAR is good enough to compete with Fatal. And that how all must play any Horror games. Otherwise you miss so much of this "horrorness" !! Try it.

FEAR was a terrible, painfully cliched horror title. Every time it tried to be scary I ended up being bored out of my mind.

that game is not even scary all it was is random pop ups every now and then. But when you are in a big suit with big guns that kills the thrill. In silent hill 3 you were a vulnerable teenage girl. In siren you can play as a little girl with no weapons.

FEAR was a terrible, painfully cliched horror title. Every time it tried to be scary I ended up being bored out of my mind.

Then you played it with lights , low volume , etc etc... FEAR had boring long fights , but other than that... was amazing! Try and play as i told you , then we talk again... To play a horror game with lights on and/or other noises than games , like your sister talking on the phone , or your parents talking next to you , or anything like that...... Its exactly the same when you go to Cinema to watch a horror movie and upon something "scary" everyone laughs . or making kiddie noises..... Simply you CANT horrified .. cause simply you are not focus to the game/movie... AND A TIP for every horror game/movie fan ( most already know) Sounds >> everything else. If you miss sounds , even the 1 small sound , you miss part of the "horror".

lol those aren't big suits of armor, the main character is an engineer, they are engineering suits. Most of the weapons are engineering tools used which end up being used to dismember the creatures because that's the only way they can be killed. I liked Silent Hill a lot but the series got tiresome after a while so Dead Space is my new favorite game in the genre.

Who are you to lecture me on how to play horror game? I thought FEAR was a poor attempt at a horror title, end of story. How I played it wouldn't change a damn thing.

Really asking? Many enough , to wonder why they bought the game in first place!! A game doesnt have to make you jump. Even 1 -2 -3 times in whole game , make you feel uneasy, thats part of this horror. Why most of you think a good horror means to jump of yuour chair or something?...

Silent Hill. And since when is Doom a horror series...? Silent-Hal

Well it had some creppy moments and some levels were even silent and had babies crying. Plus your in hell. So i guess that counts for something.

I know the story i already beat the game thats what it seemed like to me i mean the line cutter come on now. And the suits are armor since you can upgrade them to protect you more. Once you beat the game you get the milatary suit which is basically more armour lol. I mean its a good game but not a good Horror game.

are we talking bout a good game, or a good scare? Cause i play horror games to get scared. If i wanted to play an action game id play something that was meant to be one. My pick goes to Siren: Blood Curse, that is the only game where i have had my jaw dropped, scream and drop the controller. That game is terrifyingly immersive in firstperson as well.

Comeon. I doubt it didn't atleast startle you.I found it scary.:P And Dead Space is a good horror game(pointing at some other person) It uses Jumps, Suspence, Gore, Music, Environment, Ambiance etc. It has everything

I've only played Silent Hill 1 and I didnt find it scary at most times. I won't vote though because I know that the sequel is better.

Silent Hill. But IMO Fatal Frame is the scariest game out there.[QUOTE="siLVURcross"]Silent Hill But how in the holy hell did F.E.A.R beat Fatal Frame?

I totally agree with you. I'm guessing most people haven't played Fatal Frame so they just pick F.E.A.R. That's really sad to, considering that Fatal Frame is one of the scariest, if not the scariest game out there. :( But from the 2 choices, Silent Hill.
