Amnesia and the Dead Space series are both pretty freaky. :wub:

This, X10

WaxWorks

A 1992 DOS game. I was eight at the time of playing this game and the death scenes of your character scared me.

Graphic, gruesome, and horrific.

In terms of the Survival Horror genre, Alone in the Dark (1992) Alone in the Dark 2 (1993) and Alone in the Dark 3 (1994)

No game has ever really "scared" me, but there have been some notable mentions.

Silent Hill was great at being creepy.
Resident Evil: Nemesis startled me every time that [censored] would bust through the wall.

Best ever game that messed with the player was Eternal Darkness on the GameCube. The insanity was....well, insane. Fake BSOD, the character suicides, and the, oh so very, Lovecraftian setting.

Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue..... The horror... :cold: :cryvaultboy:

Fatal Frame 2, it is just as scary as the first, but with better gameplay and story. FF3 is a major disappointment.

Yeah, that scared me pretty good.
The scariest game I've played is The Suffering. That had some WTF moments for me. But I've never really played scary games, so maybe I'm a bad judge.

1. Penumbra. By far the most creepy of the survival horror genre.
2. Dead Space 1 and 2. Not really "scary" per se, but it has been the best "oh crap, there's something behind me" series.
3. Amnesia. It coincides with Penumbra but I found it to be more annoying than scary versus it's predecessor. All in all still one of my top listings for scariest game.

Watch Toby Turner's videos, you'll roflyao :rofl:

Actually I think it's better to play the game without having seen videos of it.

The thing is that it gets the horror genre right. It doesn't throw the enemy straight in your face all the time, or gives you the weapons to deal with them. Instead, you barely ever get a good sight of them, encounters are fairly rare, but you never stop feeling like there's something around. But nothing jumps out most of the time, so the tension stays. Psychological horrorz!

Amnesia: The Dark Descent and System Shock 2 for me. System Shock 2 is great at keeping the tension going because none of its menus pause the game, enemies respawn to some rate, so you never feel safe. And there's limited ammo around. Penumbra and Call of Cthulhu DCotE are good too.

It's not the fact of the videos and seeing the game when it comes to Toby it's listening to him have a breakdown, even the first one is just hilarious :rofl:
Toby's must recurred reaction is ohmahgawgohmahgawdohmahgawdohmahgawd

Favourite series is still Silent Hill. Scariest Series though is Project Zero, in which the horror does not stop when you shut off the PS2 since those sounds have been burned into your brain and will haunt you as long as the lights are dim and you can't do anything to stop it.

Minecraft

That game always gave me head aches, and when I say head aches I mean migraine like head aches. I don't know why though, I guess it was just Cthulhu eating my sanity. :shrug:

Motion sickness. Some people get that with certain games. A friend of mine can't play any Source Engine games without setting the framerate to a certain maximum. Switching Vsync on and off or changing the field of view can also help.

It's strange though, it's never happened to me with any other game it's just DCotE. But I'll have to try playing with that the next time it ever happens.

Clock Tower 3
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Resident Evil 4
Fatal Frame

I just realised that this is quite a paradox example for me. It's by far the worst Silent Hill game (by the original studio), but still the scariest and most disturbing.

You get that during regular play or just when your vision goes all wonky when you lose sanity?

Either or. I'd imagine during regular game play because after I've been playing it for a few minutes (10-30) the head aches would start. Though I couldn't really say for sure anymore, I haven't touched the game in years since then.

The worst Silent Hill? The Room? No way.

Homecoming was much worse, I can assure you. In fact, anything on the current-gen consoles weren't nearly as good as 3, or even 4.

Brackets don't mean that you're not supposed to read what's in there, you know. ^_^

I'm such a wuss. I just completed an assignment on ME2 where you go down to where your ship crashed in ME1 and find the dogtags of the survivors. Totally unscary and yet the music and general silent ambience made me extremely freaked out. There were no bad guys, nothing to shoot at etc. Just freaked me out. Think the music was what did it...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GSJApb6owE proves I r wuss. :cryvaultboy:

Episode one, the parking hall. That was bad, very bad. However it helps to use torches to light zombies on fire :flamethrower:

I have only played Clock Tower 1, I had absolutely no idea how a pixelated 2D game can scare me so much.
Resident Evil 4 is more of an action shooter than survivor, I laughed more than I panicked.
