The Hotel section in Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines is probably the creepiest the section I've played. It's more psychological and atmosphere than just splattergore like RE.

What part was the hotel bit? I can't remember been awhile since I played it. I do remember the creepy big mansion house place that scared me quite a bit playing in the dark with 5.1 :p. FEAR is alright if you get really submerged into the game and try to think you are actually that person.

As it has been said before pretty much any game that has points that make you jump or suprise you just play in pitch black (if you have a projector good quality one use that. it wont be as bright as a crt/lcd/tv screen). Then with some good speakers with surround sound. This should be enough to get your adrenaline pumping. Oh also big dark rooms will help (where your set up not in the game) even better if there is lots of the space behind you. This can make you think someone is creeping up on you haha.

Other then that, just load your gun with blanks in case someone tries to sneak up behind you.

Thinking about scary moments in games, I remember playing Half-Life 2 in the dark with headphones and it was in the section when I was in a ruined town. I heard an inhuman scream from the distance and then you see the new types of crab zombies. The kind that can run very fast and along walls. And whenever you downed one, the spider like crab would jump at you. I think that's why it was scary for me, the fact that they were spider like.

bioshock looks pretty damn scary

half-life and doom never scared me. i got used to the monsters popping out from dark places.

The darkness scared me

Silent Hill series, gotta be one of the creepiest/scariest game.
Unlike doom series, which just surprises you with the pop-up monsters :/

The Silent Hill and Fatal Frame series are my recommendations. Pretty scary stuff.

The recent Resident Evils arnt that scary anymore... but i remembered playing the japanese ver. of the first one, Bio Hazard, and the dogs jumping in thru the window....scared the crap outta me.

Since I've looked through the thread and I think that no one has mentioned it . . some other great horror games are Haunting Ground and ObScure (ObScure 2 is coming out soon also).

Bioshock is supposed to be pretty scary, just came out for the the 360.

F.E.A.R scared the crap out of me more than once...sucks that I had headphones on...

This little girl all of a sudden sneaks up behind me and she disappears...and then i head down a ladder, and turn around to walk away, there she is AGAIN, omg. It doesn't sound scary the way i just described it, but damn...it sure was...

try playing warcraft:DOTA, go to the video options set brightness to 0. go to the scourge side of the map and you'll feel the scariest feel ever...

Keep your eyes and ears open for two upcoming games that look like you might need a couple of spare pants nearby! First is the sequel to FEAR, titled Project Origin:

Project Origin Trailer

But it's this game shown at the TGS that looks very promising. Imabikisou, for the PS3 and developed by SEGA, is really more like one of those text adventure novels, where you can decide what to do next, so I imagine gameplay will be limited to selecting multiple choices. But the advantages here are obvious, you're not imagining the picture and audio, it will be right there.

If you're interested (like me) there's a detailed article here:

No word on a Euro/US release date though

Rented Bioshock, it's not really scary but it's a really good game, I'd recommend it to anyone.

modesta107 · « **Reply #52 on:** October 28, 2007, 10:08:11 PM »

I was just going to say Bioshock, but see it's already been mentioned

I dub Bioshock as being the creepiest game I've ever seen. But as for the good ending of the game, almost made me cry, in a good way.

Yeah, that's the bit. Ocean House is what it's called in game. Late in the Santa Monica section.

I didn't really find Bioshock all that scary. There's a few surprising moments, but overall it tried too hard and was more humorous than scary when it tried to freak you out.

Recommendations up until now! Thanks guys

I'm still too scared to play my copy of Silent Hill. Only got up to the corpse crucified on the chain fence and the stabbing babies, then it was over.

Maxis · « **Reply #56 on:** November 01, 2007, 10:55:54 AM »

yup i vote for sillent hill too ..
but the tem in fatal frame is pretty good too ..

eynjel18 · « **Reply #57 on:** November 07, 2007, 01:56:15 PM »

you cant go wrong with Silent Hill (1-4). Also Fatal Frame (1-3, 2 is my favorite) and Siren. F.E.A.R. is also scary and Condemed.

My scariest video game moment wasn't even a horror game~

It was a dream sequence in Metal Gear Solid 3.
Where you get put into a jail cell. Save and load the game again, but it went to a black'n'white hack-n-slash game. That bit honestly freaked me out.

LaJon · « **Reply #59 on:** November 07, 2007, 09:22:29 PM »

F.E.A.R. definitely surprised me at parts, and had me scared at other parts. I normally blow through first person shooters without a care, but this one had me going very slow cause I had no idea what was going to happen next, or where it was going to happen. The final episode of the game is pretty epic too

I'm glad I went back and played it through a second time though, cause then it was just really really fun.
