What's the scariest level in a game? *56k can't match with my superfast 1500k!

Silent hill and siren also are scary too. Id say condemned is too.

But what personally scared me, was jericho.. which is really underrated.

Plot evolves around this, that god tried create his image in human form.
But it all went bad and condemened it into another dimension.
Every now and again, it takes a piece of earth with it, creating a hellish zone, and your part of a team, travelling to different times to stop it from reoccuring once and for all. Kind of a like a F.e.a.r unit but more advanced, you even have a priest in your team and has dual handguns!

A must play for horror fans, because it made me pray more.

This is a nazi chick helping gods first creation. The best level are battling in the river of blood and the fight with the dead children in that crypt.

There was only so much of the 'team' of specialists yelling at the undead 'things' and proving to be useless, than I could handle.
The voice acting, the character design, the gameplay. Ughhh. Even the shock horrors were poor.

Compared to Undying its merley a bad aftertaste.

Hell I regret that I still have the 360 version on my shelf.

It sucks as the plot was quite promising.

any level from dead space...im currently playing the game at the moment......Its THE best horror survival game I have ever played. Way better than Stalker, way better than bioshock, way better than system shock 2, and way better than resident evil Code veronica ( my ex-favorite horror survial game). Its just that good. I love this game. ReaperV7

It delievers a few jumps now and again, but it wears off over time.

Mind you Bioshocks horror wore thin rather fast - though it was not exactly a survival horror / action horror game... rather more shooter focused, though I dont think it comes close to Shock 2 or STALKER in terms of scares... However its of a different variety, and sty-le of horror.

Stop putting *56k "enter witty remark here"* in their titles. Hoenstly, does anyone seriously still have dial-up?? And the witty remarks arnt even funny...

Nice posts!

I like the Zelda OOT/MM references and of course Ravenholm from HL2! I'm currently scratching my head to come up with a scene/game as well.....

*scratch*

Well, I think RE: CV was pretty creepy. The 'brother imitating his sister' thing was pretty weird as were some other parts of that particular RE.

The regenerators (or whatever they were called) of RE4 were not scary though IMO... probably because I had zero problems killing them...

I pretty much NEVER get scared from games, but I've had a couple rare moments.

1. The Suffering- The last level. The images of dead girls randomly popping up onto the screen while I was running around trying to fix the lighthouse or whatever made me heart beat pretty fast.

2. Resident Evil 4- When you first enter the castle. The mumbling guys in the black robes who would keep sneaking up on me freaked me out a bit.

Other than that, I've never really felt fear through video games.

I cannot find any worthy screens, but The Tower of Latria 3-1 and especially 3-2 in Demon's Souls. Both have an extremely dark, tense and foreboding atmosphere that has you on the edge of your seat with caution with every step you take.

Some scary games in this thread. But, where's the love for this one????

AvP2 had some scary levels in the marine campaign, can't really pick one though.

Cradle in Thief3, and the ending were scary in a good way. Bloodlines had few good ones too like the haunted hotel and werewolf parts.

Diablo I was and still is the only game that makes me squirm a little. I don't knwo what it is but the ambient music and sound effects going down to hell are pretty eerie, that game was pure atmosphere and they did it well.

No matter how cliche it was. FEAR 2 had sme scary moments.

Re-entering the underground in Clear Sky was pretty mindscrewing

What's worse than a Snork? A Snork ON FIRE! :o

FEAR has some scares but nothing too bad, Ravenholm had a creepy atmosphere but the 2nd time around it wasn't as scary. X18 was meh, I had such high expectations for it hearing about it from everybody but it came up disappointing to me. Really save for the psudogiant and some telekensis attacks from Burer wasn't that scary. In fact I am more creeped out @ night and Fleshes or psudodogs or bloodsuckers attack @ random. Of course the Saiga makes quick work of them.

Hopefully Siren will get some chills out of me. As for all time? Those easily go to SH2 and 3 which have some of the scariest levels in all of gaming. That hospital in 3 when it goes evil always gives me the chills *shudders*

I would probably have to go with the Condemned 2 bear chase part. That was pretty freaky.

kind of a crappy pic, couldnt really find any good ones.

For some reason I have it easier to be scared with console games (Siren, Fatal Frame, Silent Hill) than the PC games I've been scared of. I have played Thief, Vampire: The Masquerade and Stalker and wasn't really scared by any of them. I have however been really scared when I played Penumbra and that astronaut zombie in Time Commander freaked me out.

The scariest game is probably the Fatal Frame franchise IMO. The scariest creatures in a game has to be the zombies in OoT (I was young alright!) or the regenerators in RE4. The children in Silent Hill is also really freaky.

Let me guess, you get scarebecause the controls are harder for you? Analogue stick instead of a mouse?

Fatal Frame and silent hill are third-person games, in which analog works better than the mouse and keyboard.

First person horror games generally freaks me out more though.

Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3.

The Cradle - Theif Deadly Shadows AAllxxjjnn

You Sir Win. Thread over.

This level is the most terrifying level ever. Even more scarier than the Silent Hill games (except for the elementary school in SH1, that can't be beat).

my first time dealing with chameleons in resistance 2. i was like WTF WHY IS THE GROUND SHAKING? and then i died haha.

Wow i went through this whole list and not one person mentioned enternal darkness. The whole sense of insanity and the game messing with your tv, the sound, just everything made it one scary game. I played it once at night and never did it again.

I have it easier to image myself that I am in a console game when I play it. With PC games I sense the hardware and technical threats more and that impresses me but I never feel like the worlds I'm playing in is alive. Some PC games do but not the onces that is supposed to scare me. Penumbra is the only exception.

What is the scariest level that you found in a game? Feel free to post screenshots. Mine was "We Don't Go To Ravenholm" in Half Life 2, it's not like I'llcrap my pants when I play thisbut it justfeel a bit freaky.

stevoqwerty

Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3.

SpinoRaptor24

hands down. one of the most disturbing videogame series ive ever played. own all of them but only enjoyed 1 - 3.

After playing Half Life Ep 1, "Low Life" is also one of the scariest level. You're underground, have to rely on you flashlight that often go out if don't turn off, and tons of fast zombies and zombines coming at you, in the dark.

Ravenholm, the second level of Doom 3 (after the demons emerge), and the last couple levels of FEAR: Extraction Point.

The hedge maze in RE 4 was pretty tense, but not scary. I find it kind of funny that some people were scared by that game.

this guy from RE4. it's wasn't that scary but i kept getting paranoid. i still do.

I found the entirety of Penumbra: Black Plague to be frightening. When you saw an enemy your only option was to run away or be killed. Dashing through pitch black hallways, having no idea where your going is a unique and horrifying experience.

The devs next game is set in an abandoned medieval castle. They also have a great blog where they discuss horror in videogames and where they're taking their next project.

Anyone here remember Ecstatica?

I would say the level in Dead Space with the chick singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". it was Freaky and suspenseful. Its really bad with a good surround sound turned up loud.

Yeah the music made the temple pretty creepy. Shadow Temple was more creepy through.

Those Re-deads scare the crap out of me when I was younger. I still wonder how OoT and Majora's Mask got a E rated, because there were a lot of creepy stuff in both games.
