Most Frightening Game You've Seen?

The laughs in Killer 7 were terrifying for all of about a second, but then they just became tedious *sigh* like most of the game.
Doom 3. When I first played it (age 11) I quit before finishing the first level. (Xbox)
When I came back to play it again, (age 14) I still had to stop every 15 mins or so because my heart was racing.
Even now (age 17) with the PC version (Which is A LOT better) the game still finds ways to surprise me, despite the fact that's I've played through it a half dozen times.
Only game that's legitimately scare me.

Yes I do. *shudder*HT_Black said:
OT: I'd have to say Condemned as well, there were just so many well-planned and extremely well executed moments. The school and department store levels were the worst (best?) in my opinion.
Bioshock also gets an honorable mention, but not the abomination that was Bioshock 2.
Oh good lord the locker scene... and the "vision" scenes, and the end and GAH that game freaked me out. Two other bits which stick in my mind are:HT_Black said:
1. The department store level where the crazies would pretend to be dummies and then sneak up behind you when you walked past. It's cliché but it always made me jump
2. The fight/chase with serial killer X in the farmhouse. I love the fact that he's always giggling wierdly and you never know whether he's scared of you or just toying with you and when he jumps at you is it controlled or desperate... really tense scene
And a really frightening game.
Thats some scary game, nice to see an older school game popping upSnootyEnglishman said:
Playing the original Silent Hill was a heart stopping experience, its is such a weird and ****** up game. Of course Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece.
Condemned: criminal origins -> very very scary game.
Feckin' Metro 2033. It takes a lot to be able to scare me in games.
The whole game was tense and had an impending feeling of dread. Great stuff. Fallout 3 with darker night mods freak me out too, maybe it has something to do with post-apocalyptic settings.
The level where the ghost are first brought in, where standing by the pipes for too long causes...scary things to happen.

Fatal Frame is easily the scariest game ever invnented... I couldn;t even complete it freaked me out that much :S
And Resident evil 1 remake on the gamecube always creeped me out but its an awesome game!!! The atmosphere is so damn good in that game! No music, just the sound of the rain outside. your footsteps and the occasionaly groan from a zombie that you can't see...

yeah I'm serious, FEAR is a scary game, sure you have to immerse yourself in the game i.e. keep the gamma correct, turn your lights out and wear headphones to get the full effect, but then all subtle horror require that you pay attention , anything else is just shock and shock =/= horror.Red Hood said:
"Barbie Adventure" for the gameboy advance. Scary shit!
Haha, but seriously, Doom 64 scared me to all hell when I was a kid. I remember before the cyber demon appeared, there was that scary music, and the rockets, and I was freaking out man!

Thief: Deadly Shadows, although weakest of the Thief series, had a moment of pure brilliance with The Shalebridge Cradle. That level was near perfect gaming horror! I can't think of any other 'one level' that stands out so much from the rest of the game.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines also had its moments of frightening brilliance. But the most scary 'overall' game I've played was System Shock 2. The lower levels of the ship, Engineering, were crazy unnerving with untold horror seemingly around every corner. Damn good game!

Wow, someone else who remembers that game, I played it when I was about nine, scared the crap out of me.SnootyEnglishman said:
As for the scariest game I've ever played I think I'll go with Silent Hill 2.
