Cheers. :) Good comparison thread, wish I'd thought of it.
I enjoyed both games, and their very different takes on the horror genre are each interesting in their own right. Both make creative use of the Gamepad, both create dread and tension very effectively, and both are a little rough around the edges yet kind of admirable in their dogged scrappiness.
Ultimately though, I prefer Fatal Frame. Even in 2012, zombies were extremely overdone. The supernatural, particularly of the Eastern variety, is something we don't see as much of in gaming. FF has a richer atmosphere, story, themes and symbolism, but most importantly for a horror game, it is scarier.
