Video Games are redefining the Horror Genre

I found Alien 1 to be scary for some reason....and still do lol

But yeah i agree

i think the last movie that scared me was texas chainsaw massacre (the original) and that was yeaaaaars ago silent hill on the other hand never fails to deliver a good chill, along with Fatal Frame how scary is F.E.A.R?? examples ?? cant play it, my computer needs upgrade :(Gears360

 Fear is one of the games where I was much more uneasy during it's downtime. once the action started i was completely out of that atmosphere and i think that is why i think most action type games don't do as good horror as the movies.  though close.

While I've unfortunately never played some of the 'classic' horror games like Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Eternal Darkness or the original Resident Evils, I must say that I've had far more freaky experiences//WTF moments in gaming than in movies.

Anyone played the first Clock Tower for SNES? There weren't really many 'OMG-A-ZOMBIE-LEAPT-OUT-AT-YOU-BLARGH' moments considering the genre it's in, but that game still freaked the hell out of me. The suspense was superbly done.

Also, though it's not really a horror game, I have to say that there were a few damn freaky scenes/concepts in killer7. Curtis Blackburn, the old assassin/pedophile/child organ trader, anyone?

[QUOTE="STABW0UND"] played though FEAR not too scary they use the same thing too often...that damn girl lol its nothing as scary as condemned.Ontain

I think I remember that scene, but in a different way to you:

You are at the top of the ladder, [spoiler] and you press use to turn around to climb dow. The camera jerks awkwardly as you do this and as it sets you see the girl at the point where you were standing. You then slide down the ladder in fear and at the bottom the cannibal guy is just behind the ladder. Two scary moments in one scene = :cry: [/spoiler]

Think of the last scary movie you saw. Seriously think about it. Can you name one? DaysAirlines

28 Days Later.

STALKER is a great scary game. Did a much better job freaking me out than FEAR did. I agree with Days , though. Recent horror films are hardly scary at all. They just try to gross you out. Which is a really childish tactic, to say the least. 28 Days Later was the last great horror flick that I could remember.TheCrazed420

looks sick as!!

I just played the FEAR demo on my 360 last night, first half of the demo i was like  "haha stupid little girl you dont scare me"

Then i got to this hallway room, lights went off, lit back up, pool of blood on the ceiling, and i didnt want to head back to the door cause i was scared :cry:
