Exactly.  He was running around making completly opinion based posts like they're fact which has become a horrible habit around here lately.  So I decided to own him using 3rd party unbiased facts on my side and his response is " I'm done, I give up... Comparing Silent hill 2 and dead space is like comparing dark side of the moon to a Creed or Nickleback album."

Now tell me who has the better argument.....

Sometimes they are. 

Playing Boom Blox was much more frightening then watching The Ring.

Amnesia will give you a good scare from time to time.

Honestly I haven't watched all that many scary movies, I love thrillers though but I just haven't watched much that I'd consider scary. Scream, Urban Legends , I know what you did last summer, NightMare on Elm Street, Fridaythe13th... those kinds of movies don't scare me.

Now I have never seen an excersism movie whether it be Exercism of Emilly Rose or the Exorcist. But I have played Eternal Darkness at night with surround sound in the dark and nobody home. That scared the fucking shit out of me. Far scarier then any movie I've ever seen.

RE4 at night on my own wasn't as scary as Eternal Darkness. The only part that really scared me is when you'd suddenly hear the chainsaw before seeing your head fall off.

So I'd say games are scarier then movies. I haven't played Dead Space either so I can't comment on that. But from the movies I've seen and the games I've played I gotta say games can be scarier.

ROFL, same here. And I also agree, Dead Space is hardly scary. If anything, it's just as much of a shooter as Resident Evil 5 was...well, okay, a bit exaggerated, but you get the point.

Have you played Siren? Even though the scare factor eventually wears off, it's miles more freaky than Dead Space is, at least IMO.

And Silent Hill 1/2's music...especially 1...it's a scar in my memory.

But whether games are scarier than movies...well, I'd have to say The Grudge is by far one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

Except he didn't.

I don't want to enter this argument, but that isn't what he did.

The scariest things are the ones the mind can't comprehnd or doesn't know what to expect...hence imagination runs wild. There is no better way to experience this than to experience something new. When silent ill 2 came out, it was a trailblazing game with nothing like it ever. Half of the time while playing it I was wondering what it is that I am looking at and I had no clue what was going to happen next or what the implications were going to be. People playing it today will wonder what the big deal is, but back then, there ws nothing like it...

I did try Siren, and it definetly was somewhat scary but it wasn't anything original...so it wore off. I put it in the same category as the new silent hill.

I'll never look at PE ropes the same way again.

The original or the sequel?
