Hmmmmmm actually scary games are some of my absolute favorite titles

I'd say for jump thrills that freak you out for a second Dead Space 1 and 2

For scary atmostphere I think Alan Wake takes it by miles, they build the atmosphere incredibly in that game.

And I can't think really of too many other titles that were truely scary. The Condemned games were at times pretty freaky, and even Silent Hill Homecoming had its moments even though it wasn't that great of a game. There were however several titles that were never meant to be a "horror" game that freaked me out at times though lol

Dead Space scared the crap out of me when I first played it.

But Alan Wake is a close second because the atmosphere was creepy as hell.

Condemned...so far...I just got Amnesia:Dark Descent for PC (the game in AdventWolf´s post) and will soon start playing it.Based on what people who played the game say, it should be the scariest game around!

Never played it, actually. /shameface

probably dead space,just like some people have already mentioned.

Games were far more scary when I was a kid but that was simply because I was far more easily frightened. Just looking at the cover art of resident evil for the gamecube left me sleepless for days. As for games this gen, while none have terrified me, bioshock had some scary moments at the beginning of the game when I had no fking idea what was going on. (My friend just game me the game, I hadn't seen any reviews or trailers for it.) Amnesia the dark descent was also pretty scary

Clock Tower on the original playstation...till this day that game scares the crap out of me

I don't know about scary, but Condemned had a nice atmosphere.

Dead Space. Though it's grossness surpassed it's scaryness.

Condemned: Criminal Origins is pretty damn scary, I also played some other game that were slightly scary now and then but nothing too bad.

And then, one day I decided to purchase Amnesia: The Dark Descent on Steam... Dear god...
