Alright Firstly, i searched this pretty well and nothing of this EXACT style came up so im gonna run with it being original
Secondly, the main bit: Horror seems to be a very important genre of gaming doesn't it? yet it seems there are games that try very hard to do this and yet still mess it up, while other games get it perfect first time.
So state the best and worst Horror games you've ever played and why the are the best and worst (its that simple!)
for me, the best would be Silent hill 2, because it preceded to scare the crap out of me while i was unable to stop playing it because it was that compelling and interesting. Also, since my name is James, every time someone referred to James by his first name alone added an extra depth of immersion to the whole thing.
The worst horror game i've played would be F.E.A.R. 2, because (not that it's a bad game) it fails to scare, it certainly TRIES to scare you, but it falls flat and it doesn't help that half the visions you see are off-screen. Personally, i reckon F.E.A.R 2 would've been a pretty good game if they had dropped the horror aspect and just made it an FPS.
Another thing, F.E.A.R 2's failure of horror hits hard for me as it was developed by Monilith studio's, a.k.a the guy's who made Condemned... which really DID scare me...
