What's the scariest game you've played?

Since I haven't even touched the horror genre with a 20 foot pole, I don't think I'm qualified to answer.

But anyway, for me, it's Bioshock. There's probably scarier games out there, but that's the scariest I've played.

BioShock... scary? I laughed at most of the game all the way through as it was incredibly comical. You better never play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or System Shock 2... you might die of fright.foxhound_fox

I agree Bioshock isn't scary (except a bit thrilling at the beginning) but STALKER isn't any scarier either...at least I didn't find it that much.

Surprisingly enough, the end of Portal, right before the boss fight was pretty creepy. Also parts in Resistance, as well as the first Manhunt.

Manhunt was scary. Not Manhunt 2 though, that one wasn't nearly as bad.

Daikatana. After ten minutes of wading through swamps of robofrogs, I just huddled in a corner with a blanket over me until the urge to die went away.

Okay, a serious one: I have a crippling fear of snakes. Resident Evil 4 likes to hide snakes inside of boxes. Therefore, I actually saved my pistol ammo for the sole purpose of double-tapping boxes - once to break them, and once to kill the snake that may or may not have been inside.

You are so cool. Where can I sign up for lessons?

Bioshock has a great atmosphere and I loved it.

But for scary I would go with Fatal Frame and Sys shock.

But when I played the first Silent Hill I had a job baby sitting servers through the middle of the night and the early hours of the morning. The office was located in an office park up in the foothills near Denver and at night there was nobody around at all. Just a huge empty office building with a pitch black forest outside.

I was in the elementary school and scared already when the janitor opened the door and it slammed into a chair. I jumped a full foot out of my seat and nearly doubled over in relief when I finaly realized what had happened.

I never played Silent Hill at work again. I finished the game in broad daylight at home with the windows open so I could hear the cheerful sounds of the day.

Games hardly scare me anymore like they used to. But back then Silent Hill1 and Resident Evil 2 scared me the most. Like that time when the Licker jumped through the window in RE2 as you got the ammo from the table. And basically the whole atmosphere in SH1 gave me the chills. But yeah RE2 was the first scary game I played, I found it hard to even play the game because it scared the crap out of me but gradually got used to it.

Resident Evil GC remake definitely.

Silent Hill games in general

Condemned

System Shock 2

Resident Evil gamecube remake, Resident Evil 4Mordred19

i cant remember the name of it but you were like this girl and you took pictures of ghost's.dangerd0g24

That would the Fatal Frame.

the music, the fast-paced fear of being surrounded and overwhelmed, the Regenerators, the wolves, the invisible insects, the chainsaw guys.

That would the Fatal Frame.

yeah that's the one i actually think that it was the second one if there is such thing.

Depends...I consider cheap shock scare and deeply unsettling two completely different things.

For example, Doom 3 "scared" me when it first came out because it would have a zombie spawn behind you every five minutes and they insisted on making you switch to your flashlight to use it. Good for jumps, not good for making me lose sleep.

As for deeply unsettling and freaking me out for real? I dunno. I guess the closest I have come to that would be Silent hill the first time I played it way back on the PS1.

EDIT: I forgot all about the REmake on gamecube. That was the only resident evil game that actually scared me enough to make me stop playing it...Those crimson heads didnt sit right with me, walking past those corpses that you couldnt burn a few hours before hoping they wont spring up and grab you is terrifying. I did eventually finish it though.

True, plus Remake starts off on a scarier note. Remember the body bag that limps upright and gets shot back down onto the lab bench? Creepy. I think it was before the start screen.

Scariest Game? Easy, Viva Pinata. I... uhh... seen some things... that cannot... be... unseen... things no man should... see.

Resident Evil 4. I drudged everytime I had to face those dudes with the chainsaws.:P-OtakuBlu-

Silent Hill 1 and 2 scared the crap out of me so bad that I could not beat either game. Im dead serious.

Yea RE4 wasint scary at all. The only time I got scared was when that guy poped out the fridge.

penumbra

I win !!!

I can't beleive some of the answers they are mostly games that I did not know where supossed to be scary

Pacman is one of the scariest games I ever played...

The ghosts freak me out...

I wouldn't call it scary...but S.T.A.L.K.E.R had one of the most uncomfortable atmospheres I have ever been in. It almost makes me want to travel to Chernobyl and see how it feels to ACTUALLY be there.
