Forums - Gaming - Scariest games ever made

Dead Space is the only one that deserves a spot on that list.

Needs more Fatal Frame, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, and Clock Tower.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Silent Hill 1-3, System Shock 2 and Parasite Eve are far more frightening than anything on that list.

Eternal Darkness.

Period

theyre forgetting a lot of the first ones which carried more wieght like system shock 2

to me a scary as hell game was fatal frame, more than doom 3, which wasnt scary at all, only that i paid 60 bucks for a generic shooter



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Amen on the System Shock 2, that was great. Eternal Darkness was a great, psychological Mind-F.

Problem with the Doom-ilk is that they are just cheap, B-movie 'startles' vs. actual psychological horror. In D3 you look right down the hallway, nothing's there, you look to the left and the game spawns something to the right which immediatelhy starts attacking you, resulting in a quick, startled "WTF?" hammering on the controller. Then as you continue, you get the dawning realization that for the rest of the game you're just going to be waiting for the next cheap-shot. Lazy game design for something this recent.

The early Resident Evil games were ultimately more frustrating than scary as I had to battle with the control scheme to get the characters to do anything. I'm being attacked by skin-less dobermans, but I still turn... very... slowly...

What did everyone forget about Alone in the Dark on the PC?
Christ if you tried to leave the building you had this big ass eye staring at you! ugh. I almost shat myself. A lot of the older PC games were much scarier.

PS1 and on ERA I have yet to play a game scarier then the first Silent Hill or Fatal Frame 1/2.



It's just that simple.
