System Shock 2 is by far the scariest I' ve played. Shodan' s voice still creeps me out today.

I do agree the sound design in System Shock 2 was the best you could get during that time.

1) Eternal Darkness / Cube (hope to see a sequel one day!)
2) Silent Hill / PSone (still the best one!)
3) Resident Evil / Saturn (and remake on the cube!)

Resident Evil 4 (Say what you will about the game being more action-packed and less scary) but it' s the only game that had my arms trembling from being so nervous. The fact that you can' t simply exit a room to get a little breathing room from hordes of enemies played a major factor in that.. Enemies come and keep coming no matter where you run and hide.

Yeah I remember when I first played the village part at the start of the game. MY GOD!! There was fucking enemies everywhere and then when I heard the chainsaw in the distance I really started to panic! BRILLIANT just BRILLIANT

1. System Shock 2

2. The first resident evil. I' m so scared of pixels..

3. Luigi' s Mansion. Boo' s freak me out.

Wind Waker is one of the scariest games I have ever played. Tingle terrifies me!!

Id say:

Silent Hill 1
Doom 1 + 2 (not 3) the first time you see that hell' s knight!
FEAR

Fatal Frame is definitely up there.

My friend was involved in making this really cool game called The White Chamber. Was a short 2d point and click game with a lot of atmosphere. The music was fantastic and it got a few good reviews. It' s easy enough to find on google and free to d/l.

3. Doom 3 at 2 in the morning

2. yes i agree, ocarina of time did creep me out when i got to the shadow temple

3. And of course condemned

Pacman!

You are put in a maze like level where you running away from *gasp* ghosts. You also have a weapon that is very limited (those power orb things). The entire point of the game is to survive and it has ghosts so it' s horror. Pretty funny huh? Odd but true

...don' t ever expect anyone to believe that you don' t do drugs man.....

...

...oh yeah, another game which totally creeped me out was Halo.... ....the first time you encountered The Flood was pretty disturbing in a " The Thing" (1982) sort of way...

...especially the half dead ones that run up to you and just sorta stand there staring at you, with their little waving tentacle things...[:' (]...

Pacman didn' t scare me, lol. I was just telling Vx what the first survival horror game was. 1979 the horror began.

i got creeped out when i saw Captain Keys in the flood form

Seriously, I still have problems playing Pacman. It' s really scary. I can play Resident Evil, Doom, Eternal Darkness or whatever without problem. But Pacman... I don' t know it just freaks me out.

I haven' t really ever played that many horror games(Hell, I haven' t really played all that many games full stop compared to a lot of people), but I am amused to hear some people think Resi 4 is scary. I don' t feel like such a puff anymore, as a couple of you are more easily scared than I am. No offence, you guys just helped me out a bit(sort of...)

Thanks guys.


Anywhooo, when I first witnessed the final boss in Super Mario World, I was 2 or 3 at the time, I was actually pretty creeped out. Not because of Bowser, but by that big clown thing that he was riding in. Man I used hate clowns!

but I am amused to hear some people think Resi 4 is scary. I don' t feel like such a puff anymore, as a couple of you are more easily scared than I am.

Thanks guys.

Nobody said they were ' scared' of Resi 4, it made you panic at times at the huge amounts of enemies coming at you all at once. Being scared is a game making you ' jump' or giving you a fright.

Pulse Racer on Xbox. I played it to see if all the horrid reviews were true, and I still cant talk about it....

I KNOW! The first time I got my head lopped off by the burlap sack lady w/a chainsaw, my brother & I actually yelled. My friends came into the room panicking, & then saw that it was just a game. It was the chainsaw sound in the distance that really gave me the heebie jeebies.

Have you actually ever played that? It is really... really... really bad. Almost the worst game I' ve ever played.

Fatal Frame 1 - Not the sequels (the creepiest thing about Crimson Butterflies was whether or not those twins were lesbian and incestuous). Number 1 made you on the verge of death with downright stingy health power-ups, and GOD DAMN hard bosses. Plus, the Ju-On (Grudge to Westerners, though the original Jap Ju-On is MUCH scarier) style ghosts that pop-up any and everywhere were sick!

RE4 - Not really ' scary' in the ' zombie-AH' style. It was more challenging and the fear of being swarmed. The bosses were less scary than the zombie villagers for one =/ But gawd, I loved the beginning part and I was trying my best to sneak by (while the villagers were burning corpses), then I shot a cow. For the heck of it. I wanted to see whether it would die...then I died (villager cow-vengeance!)

Not much else...cos I don' t have many scary games...


PS: I HAVE to ask. When I played a marathon session of RE4 on my cousin' s PS2, I played w/o saving (cos he didn' t have extra memory cards) till Giganto (or whatever that big giant zombie guy' s name is) and ran into the burlap sack chainsaw guy, I had NO idea how to defeat him at all! Is it possible? I just RAN straight through that level! Pass every single zombie until I reached the next loading screen.

Seriously, CAN that thing be killed?

I believe GameTrailers has a piece on the ten scariest videogames. I' d happily provide a link but I' m so exhausted that right now wouldn' t be able to find my ass from last Tuesday...la la la procrastination...

Just because something makes you jump doesn' t mean it scares you. People jump at surprise parties, but that doesn' t necessarily mean surprise parties scare them. Resident Evil 4 made me jump at times, although I didn' t get scared in the game. I guess that' s probably because it is more fast-paced than most games in the same genre, and you also have more space to run around in. I must admit, though, that playing as Ashley wasn' t exactly a walk in the park, and defending her as Leon was a real pain- especially when you had to defend yourself at the same time.

Besides, Terry did tell us to:

Say what you will about the game

By the way, Byakko, it is possible to kill the chainsaw guy, but it took me a hell of a lot of grenades to do so.

Agent Ghost- I was just watching this yesterday.
