Unfortunately I probably won't get the chance to check out these MODs any time soon due to my lack of a computer to run HL2. (A problem I want to ammend as soon as I can afford to) The theory these guys are touting is inspiring thought.
"Horror isn't what you see, it's what you don't see."
This makes me think back to some of my favorite scenes in gaming. Not only is Silent Hill one of my favorite games ever, it's one of the best stories, and most atmospheric games I have ever played, and that was back on the PS1.
Strangly enought, I think the scariest game experiences for me was way back on the PC with the original Dark Forces game. It's strange because it's a FPS action game, and definately not built to be a horror game. When the game first reveals the Dark Trooper Endoskeleton, (the one that looked like a Terminator with blades) its shown for a moment, anf then you're whisked away to a maze of ventilation pipes. All you hear is the clicking of the Endskeleton chasing you, hunting you down, only to hear it speed up and get louder as it hones in on your position.
Again, no fancy graphics, just atmosphere, and the chaos of not knowing where the enemy will stike from.
What's your scariest moment? (If this isn't the place I may start a thread for it then)
