Silent hill 1, never could get past the dark alley at the start, and the noise of the siren...*shudders*
Games that truly frightened you.

Silent hill 2, the monsters themselves weren't all thatscary but the atmosphere and the fact that you could be attacked at anytime really scared me.
Oh god, yes. Games or movies rarely scare me, but I had to play it without sound and in the third person. Dead Space wasn't as scary as that one, single level.Furburt said:
I wont lie and this may be kinda sad..but...in all honesty,D1 scared me at the time it first came out. the atmosphere in that game ACTUALLY generated genuine fear from me from almost just the sound effects and music alone.
but as for more recent games. Bioshock and its better predecessor, System Shock 2.

Silent Hill 4 was the only game that freaked me out so bad that I had to stop playing. I put it down for 5 days once before i could bring myself to play it again. None of the other games in the series ever had that kind of effect on me. I think the first person mode in the apartment really helped give the sense of fear I had.
Playing the demo of Fatal Frame with a mate gave us both nightmares, but I recovered pretty quickly from that one. Also playing Eternal Darkness at 2 in the morning when you're 9 isn't the best idea when horrible gribbly things comes out and try to eat your face at every single turn, though it kicked arse when you had magick.
Also, loosing your sanity and watching your character lose his/her head, picking it back up only for it to sprout gibberish at you, watching giant insects crawling over the screen, blood pouring from the walls, the terrifying (at the time) music that started up when you'd lost like 80% of your san and randomly exploding in a gory shower. Got to love sanity.

Quite a wierd one but Abe's Oddessy and Exodus frightened me as a kid. Just the characters, the creatures, the sounds and the environments, they were very eerie and disturbing.
If I were to look back all the way to the first game that truly frightened me, it would be Commander Keen. Specifically the Dopefish level.
After that, I recall being incredibly creeped out the first time I encountered the zombie enemies in Quake 1.
Then there was Resident Evil 3 with the Nemesis or dogs crashing through windows at the most inopportune moments.
The most recent game to scare me was Dead Space. And on a second run-through on hard mode I was utterly terrified.

Back in the day, I remember playing and shitting myself to RE2, when I was about 11, I remember me and a friend working together to complete it, long story short, he went for tea and I refused to play as all I could hear was a lickers breathing noise, regardless to say, I needed a change of pants.LordNue said:
