Did anyone play Thief Deadly Shadows on PC? well,it was either the last level or close to the end you were in an asylum,and the sound effects in there were bloody creepy I can tell you.

Great game,and I may play it again someday soon

NOTE - the above footage is not too accurate,they have obviously not configured their monitors very well,the shadows look washed out and should be darker,a LOT darker.

For me, Fallout 3 made my mind wander to bad places. Let's face it, being the sewers with freaking ghouls breathing heavy in the darkness as you make your way does raise some hairs on the back of your neck!

I have to agree,FO3 does have some disturbing moments,and yes,the ghouls sound bloody shocking,especially as you are trudging through a pitch black irradiated basement somewhere.Great atmosphere

Fallout 3 creeped me out just in walking around the Capital Wasteland; while it wasn't a one-to-one recreation of DC and the surrounding suburbs, it was still eerie seeing landmarks I'm very familiar with in that post-apocalyptic setting.

Hmm... I don't think I've ever come across a game that actually startled/scared me, but it may be that I'm not remembering, either.

You said it. For me FO3 is a definite top 5 for me.

Playing Resident Evil on nightshift with two colleagues, who'd fallen asleep. Walking down a corridor and some birds burst through the windows... almost pooped. Woke the other two up and re-started that section and watch them both poop too.

Played CMR after that.

Fahrenheit aka Indigo Prophecy

And the best "jumper" I've seen was in FEAR 2 (or 1), the room with the pool
in it, the lights go out and if you have your flashlight pointed somewhat level
or slightly downwards as you scan the room, you'll see a very brief glimpse of
the little girl standing RIGHT next to you. Brilliantly executed.

Any video on utube Dowly?

It could be the latter

An awesome game. Though I don't remember it as particularly scary. Maybe I've just completed it too many times.

From the top of my head I'd say Dark Fall 1. That game just did so many things right. The sequel wasn't as good.

Although I've never played it, I've heard horrible stories from friends who have played Dead Space and Dead Space 2

antikristuseke · 07-28-11, 01:45 PM

For me the scare factor in dead space did nothing as the enemies were too easy to deal with to actually be frightening.

KaptCosper · 07-28-11, 01:47 PM

Well my friends also played on the hardest difficulty, with only three saves through the entire game.

Tchocky · 07-28-11, 01:48 PM

I don't go to Ravenholm anymore.

Actually, that was just scary on the first playthrough, then it became sport!

Some of the underground levels in S.T.A.L.K.E.R were pretty hairy.
