Any games that make your nerves run?

I was thinking about getting condemned for the 360. I rememeber that was scary. I need something to scare my girlfriend. She likes scary movies and I like video games...

Edit: I have a 360, PS3, and Xbox One

Amnesia certainly comes to mind when talking about scary games that made me shit my pants and scream like a schoolgirl. It is a must play for horror fans cause its a perfect example of what a scary game should be. The game makes u feel defenseless in quite a lonely setting and it makes ur imagination run by not having the monster pop out every 5 seconds and when you do see the super ugly disgusting monster, it looks so damn horrifying that the shit that u just shat just shat itself

The PS2 Fatal Frames are scary, you can play then in the Ps3 as a digital dowload. The first four Silent Hills are very creepy, althought the first is very dated today in terms of graphics.
Siren Blood Curse on PS3 is scary, so is P.T. on PS4. This one is free on PS4, but, play with the headset on.

As you have a Xbox One, Dead Rising 3 is a good B-Horror Movie simulator, not scary, but very much a horror game.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Penumbra, Amnesia (not the second one though), the 3 first Silent Hill games (I highly recommend SH2), Forbidden Sirens, Fatal Frame...

Also, Five Nights at Freddy's on PC is seriously nerve racking. I caught myself sweating and shaking at times (also, cold sweats)

And of course, P.T.
Man this game almost gave me heart attacks, and I played a LOT of horror games.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Outlast, Dead Space 1 and the Fatal Frame games on the original XBOX (they run on 360). Also the first Silent Hill games (especially 2), but the HD collection was messed up.

Maybe Condemned or F.E.A.R.

 

I'm not sure if the're still scary when you play them with your girlfriend. They work the best when you're alone in a dark room with high-quality headphones. But I must say that most horror games don't work for me...

 

Guys, Amnesia and Slender (the first one) are only on PC and P.T. on PS4...



P.T.

True. I was VERY surprised by how terrifying it could be, without even using jumpscares (I only got like one, and it was pretty well done).

I couldn't sleep last night because of this demo. Silent Hills is officially my most anticipated game, right in front of UC4, The Witcher 3 and The Order.

But well, sadly, P.T. is only on PS4 at the moment.

Outlast is a must, you should give it a try. If you give it a shot, must try it with a good headset.



Uh, I don't really know. Most of the "scary" games I've tried weren't scary. And there are some gems that might be too outdated to manifest fear into the player nowadays.

 

Try Silent Hill:Shattered Memories. Until you realize how the "fear mechanism" work, the atmosphere will be strong. (If you do, then, you won't ever experience more fear because you can predict how the scariness pattern work)
