Games that truly frightened you.

I'm pretty easily scared to be honest... but these are the scariest games I've played:
* The marine campaign from the "original" PC AvP game.
* Dead space (had to turn off the sound... I hate jump scares)
* The Penumbra games (especially Black plague since you can't kill the enemies in that game)

Most traumatising from Condemed:shwnbob said:
1: School for general atmosphere and that god damn locker
2: The Mall for "How'd that get he-HOLY SHIT THEY'RE CHASING ME!"
3: Farm house for serial killer hide and seek.
4: Final fight with serial killer and chase afterwards.
Silent Hill 2, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, and Thief: Deadly Shadows.
SH2: Thirty seconds after I stepped into the hospital (I'd been playing in total darkness deep into the night) I quit the game, turned off my PC and didn't touch the game again for two weeks. Goddamn, talk about intense atmosphere.
Vampire: That mission near the start of the game where you have to retrieve something from a haunted old seaside hotel.
Thief: You all know the one... Shalebridge Cradle (at least I think that's what it was called).

FEAR pretty much made sure I never want to go to a waste water treatment plant ever again.
And both Condemned games have their moments. 1 had the school and the house at the end, while 2 had the damned bear chase. It's a fucking rabies infested giant black bear chasing you through an abandoned house in a snowed out forest, I don't know many people who wouldn't piss in their pants.

Heh, I played that level for the first time today. The shapeshifters frightened me a bit. Looking at them in the arcade character selection though, they look ridiculous.tellmeimaninja said:
Also, the bit where you listen to the voice message on the computer, and the person mentioned that talking about a secret code on a voice message was a bit stupid cracked me up (reminded me of Doom 3, I wonder if they were talking about that).Also, I liked Mirror's Edge. D: In fact, I played through it like 5 times, and beat it on hard...although I've never bought it. Just borrowed it from a friend.
Rule of Rose
I borrowed it from a friend not knowing what it was really. I popped it and started playing and as I played the game only got creepier. Sadistic children and a forgotten past that needs to be reveled kept me on the edge of my seat.

Bioshock. The original. Had a lot of good twitch points for me: things that skitter across ceilings, fantastic sound design (and good speakers on my machine), various plot bits, Fort Fucking Frolic and the Statues of OMFGWTF... god, that little twist almost made me soil myself. Add to it I was playing it late at night after my husband had gone to bed, by myself, in a house with a cat with ninja bad timing as to when to yowl or hop up on me... wow.
I remember playing Resident Evil 4 and not being the least bit of afraid. But one time when i sliced open a jar and a snake came flying at my character, I freaked, fell back in my chair, and realized how stupid i was. Needless to say my friend was laughing at me.
The first time I played the library level on Halo 1 where you are introduced to the flood...I think I had to change underwear after that experience....and yeah Dead Space as well as Oblivion.
Those moaning humpy things scared the crap out of me as a kidurgh76 said:OoT the Shadow Temple, the only part of a game that has scared the shit out of me while playing at 11:00
*sniff* that game raped me.....
