What is the scariest video game you have ever played?

I know its pretty hard to get scared in video games,however one game instantly springs to mind for those that can remember,Final Doom (sequel to the legendary Doom) on the PS1!. Playing this game with the lights off and headphones on was pretty bloody disturbing.One of the scariest levels in that game was near to the end,I can only describe the level as being immersed in hell itself,with burning skies and sounds of crying babies echoing around you,all the while being chased around the level by denizens of hell trying to eat you alive!

Really,a fantastic game in the end.

I miss the 90s...a lot

The final level of Spear of Destiny was pretty scary to me.

Though it seems funny now.

I liked "Dracula: Sanctuary" I think it was called. Loved the atmosphere and it was the first "3-D" game I had played. Kinda spooky.

Scariest game I ever played was World of Warcraft, but that was for completely different reasons than spooky factor.

I can relate to that, the first true 3D game was Wolfenstein 3D, to me it was so real, it felt like I was there, and when I got to the end of level 3 IIRC the character was Dr Schabs and threw syringes at you, but it was the start of this level when he called out this evil laugh, my hair stood up on end, silly now but at the time I was shaking like a leaf!!
