Silent Hill 3 Was disturbing.....VERY disturbing. very scary too.


Dead space and Dead space 2 were also very disturbing, and made me have aheart attack sometimes when the sneaky bastids pop out of a vent, even though i feel im always ready, there are times when you dont expect it and they burst out tof the vent, or come up from behind.

But Back in the day, when i was much younger, i played Alien Versus predator 2. pretty old game. So i was sent, alone, to restart generators.
As a human, you get motion detectors. EVERY movement shows up. Including the slight sway of a small hook, or ANYTHING. For 30 minutes i hear things rumbling around, get contacts here and there of swaying little objects. saw shadows ect.

The suspense was killing me. And when i actually DID see an alien, i nearly fell out of my damned chair.

Fallout 3 and New vegas gave me some jumps when a ghoul or something comes up from behind.

I got signals. I got readings, in front and behind.

The first Stalker and the first Silent Hill. I was playing that bit in the hospital at 3am when I first ran into those manky ghost baby things. And that big empty room where the telephone suddenly rings. Totally cliched, totally predictable, totally nearly cacked myself.

I've been running through the marine campaign in Aliens versus Predator 2 over the last couple of days - nothing like the blip of the motion detector for putting you on edge!

Yes! that damned blip around a corner gets my blood going, and i charge in full auto and it turns out to be a swaying crane hook. Then my motion detector doesnt detect ANYTHING when i first see an alien burst out of the ceiling.

The library level in Metro 2033 gave me the creeps...I actually had goosebumps whenever I saw one of those pesky librarians. Gotta get myself a copy of Stalker.

Actually Doom 3 and Resident Evil 1 had their moments
Agree that Staker and all the silent hills did a good job

Doom 3 definitely spooked me a couple times.
All of the STALKER games had their moments, I've played all 3.

and...lets seee....there was something, I can't remember it.
