I can't imagining a hand-held game being scary, simply because of how impersonal it feels.
But I guess we'll see.

Amnesia:
Descent into darkness.
all the rage on /v/, apparently it can turn veterans into crying babies in the fetal position.

Yes, 1 game:
Half Life 2. I'm scared to death of spiders and facehuggers and headcrabs encapsulate both nicely. When you add in the fast zombies and super shadows of Ravenholm...I just couldn't handle it.

Never had to stop playing a game because I was scared. I simply donned my sunglasses and went and bench-pressed a subway tram to get my mind focused again, like a MAN.
Well, there was parts of SH2 where I was a tiny bit terrified. But I'll never admit it!

Yeah, it happened often when I was little. And it wasn't even scary games. I know I was terribly afraid to even watch someone else play some game. Eventually, when I started playing on my own, I would get scared if an enemy popped-up from somewhere and then I wouldn't be able to play the game for weeks. I also had nightmares when I was playing Tomb Raiders (old ones of course). I literally saved the game every minute, and would usually end up jumping in fear if something attacked me and hitting various furniture in the process. It took me years to finish them.
... I was silly and little
Luckily, I am now cured. Kinda. I still wouldn't play a horror game, as much as I love horrors. Maybe one day I'll be cured of that too >_>

Although I have finished SS2 a few times. Undying on the other hand I have tried 3 times and each time I get less far, the last time I didn't make it past the family potrait in the hall, my mind was telling about all the unspeakable horrirs those wolf howls promise and I just sat in the corner (in game) I could not go ahead.
Ohn yeah never did finish the original AvP marine campaign mostly cause it was scary, and partly becaus ei liked playing the aliens and predator.
Once when I was a small child.
It was from a Cerberus in an old Castlevania game.
I still mildly regret it.

Silent Hill 4 scared me so much at one point that I couldn't play it again for a week straight, but I eventually finished it. That first person view during the hauntings made it so much scarier. Stupid wall of fetuses, kid in the closet, and bloody, dead cat in the fridge...
Oh my God, I would say Dead Space is scary, but it pisses me off so much I can't even focus on the scares anymore. I've rage quit that game more than any other before I think.Julianking93 said:
There was a point in it where I had to turn it off, though. I was just coming into a room, and I saw a guy in a doorway. He then walked out of sight down the hall, and I almost pissed my pants. It sounds simple, but damn, that scared the shit outta me.
Don't judge me, but mine was Half-Life 2. Ravenholm scared the living hell inside of me but I sucked it up and cut them in half.
