The Scariest Game ?

Hey guys, I was just wondering what the Scariest game out there is.

I want to ask you guys for your opinion in this.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, post them below, and leave a comment on how you found it,

how scary you think it is, and maybe leave a rating out of 10?

Thanks for contributing!

Silent Hill 4, The room

I think that Metroid Fusion is pretty freaky as the game feels like a horror game more than a Metroid game as the SA-X, and the rest of the X parasites in the game, and also the bosses ambushing you from out of nowhere are pretty scary. The music is also frightening too. I would not mind seeing a sequel to Fusion. This Metroid feels more survival horror than usual Metroid action. Once you play Fusion, it will make you S#@T bricks!!! It's that scary. Nintendo, make a Metroid Fusion 2 please!

Some may think not the scariest but Cold Fear (2005) to me was very scary when playing on hard difficulty, so that you really cant just walk through the game.
More scary games i can think of include: Condemned Criminal Origins, Doom 3, Silent Hill 4: The Room, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Dead Space and F.E.A.R. franchise has it's scary moments.

I choose Clock Tower, the first one.

I actually thought FEAR was pretty freaky.

Yes, I already had the experience of nightmares from that game :D

But recently I have been hearing a lot about a game called: The Room

I still havn't played it, or have seen someone else play it, so I dont really know what to expect from it.

I was not really aware of the game untill recently, so it might be a worthwhile experience.

The game did not really gain much attention, so it might be a good chance to 'see what it can do'...

For me, the Classic Slender games seem to have the right ammount of the Horror element in them.

They sure are working their way up to the tops in survival horror games genres, just like Amnesia and the Silent Hill Series.

As far as pure, unadulterated, sh!t your pants terror goes, Silent hill 3 takes the cake IMO. Just a really really lonely, creepy and scary atmosphere, and it has some really terrifying moments. There are even rooms in the game designed for no other reason than to scare you. All I'll say is that you won't look at mirrors the same way after playing through the hospital level.

I think the best horror game from this gen was probably Condemned Criminal Origins. The First person view made it really immersive and there were some truly freaky envinronments that you had to work through, especially near the end.

I consider Silent Hill 2 to be the creepiest game I've ever played. The combination of the music, characters, feeling of loneliness, story, and environment make it a very unsettling experience.

Such an underrated game, and even though it has its flaws, every game does and Condemned has a great feel to it when you play it. And the story, especially in the first game, is pretty good which is a must for me with this type of game.

Fatal Frame gets my vote.

Honestly I think when they started to try and explain things in 2 it jsut kind of lost its charm. There was a lot of mystery to the first, and that's what made it compelling.

Sounds like you guys have nailed most of the standard horror games, but I would add other games that just have horror elements in them, too. I'm thinking of the Ravenholm section of Half-Life 2.  Stuff like that.

Thief: The Dark Project was great because it used sound in a way most games didn't.  Listening to ghosts dragging chains and crying or pagans mumbling creepy poetry while you sneak around was pretty freaking scary.  Unfortunately, the graphics of the game are a little dated by now.

I would also say the Demon's Souls games are fairly scary.  Instead of jump scares or tank controls, the fact that you are in better control of your life and death makes you more wary and cautious then your standard survival horror game. I'm guessing you know about these already.

I think Doom 3 deserves some mention as well because it's version of Hell was pretty intense.  The guys at Id software have to be some pretty sick puppies.

Silent Hill 2 and Amnesia:The Dark DescentPrimoVictoria

I thought Silent Hill 3 was far scarier. Playing them both in a row, SH2 seemed to be more about simply unsettling the player, while SH3 was more about flat out scaring the player.

Alien vs Predator 1: Marine campaign.
