Dont remember what I voted (prolly FEAR), but now I got to change it to FEAR 2. That gotta be one of the most scariest games I've played, the scary bits are done very well. Like in one spot, you're in a biggish room with a large round pool in it. The lights go out and your flashlight starts to flicker, as you scan the room, at some point the little girl's (Alma) head is visible just for a 0.5 seconds on the bottom part of your flashlight's cone, standing just 1m away from you. That scared the fark out of me.

Tho, having watched some youtube clips from ppl playing the same scene, you dont necessarely see Alma if you are pointing the light the wrong way, seems I got lucky when I caught her.

I always have Yakety Sax blaring when I play anything remotely scary, so I guess I'll have to say: None of these.

Anyone here played Penumbra? Tense and scary with very little combat.

for me it was darkness within, but the game wasn't that good , ik hope the second part is going to be better

OMG, Phantasmagoria isn't even listed as a choice!

Original Silent Hill freaked me out a bit. Walking down the street in dense fog or through some corridor that looks like it came back from hell, and then that radio starts picking up static...

Crysis, but only the first time through. You have some encounters with alien lifeform/exosuit, snatching your team-members. Eventually you make it to that mountain and enter the mine, kill the general and then the cave collapses. You're forced to enter "the lair of the beast", not knowing what to expect. Pretty freaky.

*ah, and then you're suddenly floating around in 0G, nice.

Playing the demo of Ravenholm in the dark with headphones on, that also was a bit jittery. :hmm:

Is this the same game as Bloodlines, the Masquerade?

It must be good, that sucka commands $60 and it's a 5 year old game

That's the one

I think the price has a lot to do with the comparative rarity of the game since it kinda bombed, which is a shame because it is a good game, uses the Source engine and is very atmospheric. Pretty damn buggy though on the original release (hence the bomb) but subsequent official and fan patches have increased the stability.

The original Silent Hill is, for sure, one of the most scary games i've played. The section in the school when that phone rings....and those little ghost baby things....and the rest of it.

Thief 3 is a doozer too. I'm going to reinstall it right now, in fact. Even though most of the game isn't 'scary', you get so ramped up trying to get through it without ever being seen that it doesn't take much to set you off.

Yeah, it totally bombed; I think it brought the development house under. It's really underappreciated, tho. Any game that'll give me a choice wether to destroy zombies with a sledge hammer, a fire axe or a shotgun is A-OK by me.

It's also the only game I know with a console command to increase the female characters and NPC's... Attributes. Seriously.

The patches are essential, tho. The hotel level is, IMHO, one of the great moments in atmospheric gaming history. Seriously, do not play that level at night. I've warned you.

I don't know if it's because I played out at night in October, way back in the day, or because I'm a sissy, but Parasite Eve creeped the **** out of me. I still have the image of that rat turning into... Whatever the heck... burned into my memory. *Shivers*

Not so much the second game, tho.

Egan · 03-01-09, 02:39 PM

Is Bloodlines the same as Vampire:the Masquerade? I've got a copy of that kicking around somewhere which I played for about a day when it first came out.

Hmm, interesting; i never realised it was as well regarded as it seems to be. I might have to give it another go. Does anyone have links to the patches or mods?
