To me, games that are scary are the ones where you use your imagination to be scared. No monster is as terrifying as a visualization of a monster in your head. Also, it really depends on the gaming timeline.
Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, Silent hill 1,2 were all pretty scary when released. Today however they wouldn't scare a kitten.
Doom 3/Dead Space approach (Jericho as well...mn that game sucked) does not scare me at all since you are constantly being bombarded with predictable images rather than atmospheric horror. You don't have to imagine whats going to jump at you at the next corner...since it always does. And when its the same 3 monsters over and over (ala Dead Space), the initial BOO! factor wears off in an hour.
As far as the current games, Condemned 1 was quite scary in my opinion. Also a game like Portal...while not scary...was quite creepy. Last level or FEAR was scary as well...
