Clock Tower. The ORIGINAL one that isn't supposed to appear outside of Japan....absolutely terrifying. When I emulate it, I play it in a tiny box with the sound right down. I've seen some very nasty horror films, my favourite genre, but in that game you just feel utterly helpless.

More recently I'd say Silent Hill 4: The Room. The room in the hospital with the giant head of your neighbour made me feel physically sick. Silent Hill 2 is on about the same level.

I was watching a mate play that bit........Long story short we came back in the room an hour later.

Project zero 2 [thats fatal frame 2 for you yanks :p]
not only was it scary with ghosts with plenty of 'jumpy' and 'oh shit!' moments, but it was about twins, and lets face it, twins are always creepy

oh did i mention the only weapon you have is a camera?

Either the Silent Hill games of F.E.A.R.

I play FEAR on my PC with headphones, and whenever someone is behind me and "taps" me to get my attention, I nearly wet myself.

But there aren't many things scarier than walking down a dark tunnel, and seeing Pyramid Head come from around the corner.

I don't know if mods count, but there was a Half-Life 1 mod called Afraid of Monsters. It was basically about a guy addicted to painkillers who starts hallucinating (or is he?) that he is in a nightmare world. Even with dated graphics, the monsters were creepy as hell, and the game frequently made you go "Oh Jesus no." The author used cheap tricks like turning out all lights in a level or creating invisible enemies you could only "see" with your flashlight. Playing it from start to finish, all after dark with the lights out, was an unforgettable experience.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R shadow of chernobyl... really no one mentions it as scary but it was so atmospheric and had the creepiest locales of any game.

F.E.A.R as well... it was almas appearances that made me go 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!'

system shock 2 - scary as hell. even with its hideous graphics. i didn't find bioshock scary though, bar one of the first splicers (the one beside the baby pram with the gun in it)

admittedly i have never played a silent hill game, worth trying?

The first time playing resident evil (the first one), because it was kinda a first game I played of its type. but no other game has made me jump as much as that one (the first time you go into the corridor with the dogs, I litterally threw my control when I jumped, in fact my older brother jumped aswell)... Yeah newier games have come and gone but that one was the first horror type expeiace in a game I played so it just stands out!

First time playing through No Mercy on L4D. I'm already a little spooked by hospitals, and the fact that I got surprise-punched by a tank on the first staircase, well... after my heart rate left the triple digits and I righted by chair, I just put the controller down and didn't touch the game for awhile.

Ravenholm. That scared me so much, even if it was pretty short.
Ravenholm was short? I found it pretty long.
At first, i suppose it could be both long and scary, but I've played through it so long, nothing surprises me any more. I know where all the zombies will come from, when they will appear, etc.. It makes it go a lot quicker too.

Without a doubt the Shalebridge Cradle from Thief 3 - Deadly Shadows. I'd recommend that anyone who likes a good game and a good scare plays it. It is terrifying and one of the best designed and most immersive levels in gaming.

Silent hill 1 and RE 1 were the only two games that scared the shit out of me, but I was also quite young at the time. None of the new 'scary' games feel scary at all, still fun and enjoyable but not actually scary.
