Default The Scariest Game you've ever played

I'm interested to know which games really affected you, made you jump out of your seat, leave a brown banana in your pyjama.

Cause I'm cool like that.

System Shock 2.

My first two attempts at completing it failed coz I got the willies.

AvP2 also gave me similar willies when playing as human prey.

Anything Barbie scares the life and soul out of me! The time my sisters play those games, it was the most horrifying times of my life! I even got a priest to perform an exorcism on my PC just to cleanse it from evilness that is Barbie!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

In all seriousness, Doom 3 just scared the fecal matter right out of me! The advanced graphics was so real that when I tried to play it at nighttime, I can't sleep and I had my dad's golf club at my side! I only found security in the daytime.

That was a epiphany for me!

Stick to RTS and sim games!

I voted DOOM3

as I couldnt play the blasted game having some beer and some heavy metal music in the background and having the game sounds low.

Now when I was sober, middle of the night.....and played it I couldnt last up to 5 minutes...an then I would lay in bed rolled up in a ball sucking me thumb and barely sleep :rotfl: having me teddy beer close to me *cough*

Fahrenheit a.k.a. Indico Prophecy (in US). Nothing really frighting happening on screen, but the atmosphere and how some scenes are made to be played are just nerve wrecking.

Doom 3, but STALKER is on second place, both games scare the living crap out of me.

I think the silent hill games were creepy. The first one was the scariest

All those japanese games like forbidden siren are good contenders as well.

I think the resident evil remake on the gamecube was the best game though. It looked the business and had a great atmosphere

The Haunted House in Bloodlines is pretty good, not 'oh-shi-' scary but puts the old hairs on the back of the neck up. Playing the demo of Ravenholm in the dark with headphones on, that also was a bit jittery. :hmm:

Definitely Call Of Cthulhu, Dark Corners of the Earth. Also the most frustrating one, could never finish, and the devs all went insane until release, so game could never be patched

I'll second that.

I forget how long it took me to crawl (quite literally) through that level the first time.:rotfl:

The music with that dead baby crying in the background was almost unbearably unsettling at first, but I got used to it.

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.
