Suspense

You know recently I've became so addicted with suspense--perhaps practically everything related into that genre. Books, movies, games, you know, those stuff.
In the genre identification (why can't I write *c l a s s*+ification?), I think most suspense games are categorized as adventure game... that might be right but not every adventure games is a suspense game.
Since it's GameSpot, I'm going to tell you about the games. The first (maybe) suspense game I played is Fahrenheit

Then Hotel Dusk, a very marvelous masterpiece

Now I'm really curious about the upcoming Alan Wake

And Heavy Rain

I just can't keep thinking how the storydesigners designed such a thrilling story, wow I'm wanting more of such games.
I've read that adventure games flourished in the 80s and 90s especially for PCs. I haven't tried any that they refer as text adventure, but I'm willing to. Anybody had tried? How's the feel?
Anybody ever watched the movie Identity? I wonder how if somebody made a game like that, but that doesn't mean I want an Identity game, maybe something like Hotel Dusk. But Hotel Dusk don't involve murders:|.
Do you have any recommendations for me?
Remember, suspense is different with horror, although might be a bit identical to thriller.
