You know what we need? A Clock Tower remake running on the CryEngine 3 with a remastered soundtrack and improved voice acting. Also, Move and Kinect support.

1. Silent Hill 2. Best Horror game ever. Period. Best story, best gameplay, best enemies, best camera angles, it just doesn't get any better that that.
2. Resident Evil 4 ( I know, it's more action than horror, but still )
3. Fatal Frame : Crimson Butterfly
4. Silent Hill: Homecoming ( I know most people didn't like the game, but the story is almost as good as the one in SH2 )
5. Amnesia: The Dark Descent ( Definitelly one of the scariest games I have every played. That ghost guy chasing you is totally unpredictable, he is as random as a fu**ing pidgeon on the street. You never know when he is gonna show up, where he will go, or what he will do. But the thing I find the most scary about this game is the fact that you cannot defend yourself in any way. You can only run and hide. Plus, you have to turn off the light every time the monster comes around, and when you are in the dark, your sanity begins to drain. )
I have to add a number six.
6. Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare. I remember playing this on PSX and being scared like a motherfu**er. I was a little young then, and I played all horror games around 01:00 in complete darkness. I remember the story and I thought it was amazing, plus there's the * separate ways * thing. You can play as Carnby or Aline. He was more of the run and gun type, while her side of the story was mostly focused on puzzles. I loved the fact that I can choose which character I can play.

Ok, definitely silent hill 2 and 3, and Resident Evil 4 and REmake take the top honors. too tough to put into a heirarchy, because i think the values of these games are at odds with each other. Silent Hill 2 in particular is more effective in its atmosphere and story than almost any other piece of horror media out there, absolutely capable of destroying your sanity as you play it- it makes you as a player analogous to the "protagonist". REmake and 4 are great horror games with amazing game mechanics and controls, but can't compete with SH in terms of story or atmosphere. honorable mentions: Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly and Call of Cthulhu:Dark Corners of the Earth. CoC is an often overlooked game i think, and not only did it succeed in creating a highly playable experience of Lovecraft's fiction (the father of horror imo), it's very atmospheric and genuinely terrifying sometimes. waking up in that hotel room and narrowly escaping through the window with those lunatics chopping down the door behind me... i'm still having nightmares.
