Probably Condemned. It was just so... tense. And scuzzy. I feel like I need a shower whenever I even think about it. Dead Space was also pretty fucking awesome, too, packing all the creepiness of Event Horizon minus the cheese factor that made it seem like a B-movie. Space is just fucking scary to me! Honorable mention to Demon's Souls as well. I haven't played much, but the sense of isolation and not knowing what the fuck is just ahead of you (oh shit oh shit oh shit! I can hear it, but I can't see it!) reminds me of the original Silent Hill.
Overall, I'm tempted to say games are less scary than they used to be, but I'm not sure whether that's just because I'm older and more jaded or simply because the old standbys aren't what they used to be, with Resident Evil having gone in more of an action direction, Silent Hill being in inferior hands, and Clock Tower being dead as shit.
