Alien vs Predator. the fuckin facehuggers and the sound they make when they crawl around and when they latch on to ur face... god, i've had nightmares about that game.
You forgot the scream that was SO loud when you see the bathroom scene.Alkestes said:
Eternal Darkness gets my vote too, that was one seriously wierd game, all the little psychological effects and sounds going on.
Very very jumpy. I never got on with Resident Evil either simply because I hate Zombies, there's just something about them that I can't stand. Either way Eternal Darkness still gets my vote, there was some seriously wierd/chilling stuff in that game, and a lot of it wasn't obvious scare factor stuff, by which I mean bodies which you expect to move etc.
The bathtub scene (innocent bathroom as well when you first see it) is a prime example.
Someone else played AVP2! Yeah, the Marine Campaign freaked me out too. It was my first Survival Horror game... good times. Sidenote: Monolith created the FEAR series too.Furburt said:
OT: Aliens Vs Predator 2 and this online game called Combat Arms. Whenever a "Super Spy" comes to me I skip a beat.
Fatal Frame 2 is the game that managed to make me actually wrap myself in a blanket due to all the goosebumps that I was having. 3 was also very good, although they got a bit too liberal with all the Japanese women in stockings and underwear on proud display, which broke the immersion a bit. I'm sure they would have done the same with number 2 if they could, but thankfully the main characters were, like, 12 years old. Keep that shit off mah horror games, please...
Sadly I haven't played Condemned 1, but the Hotel level in Condemned 2 made me almost cry for my mummy.
Also the office level in the first FEAR, where you first encounter those cloaked ninjas. It takes ages for them to actually pop up, you know that sómething is there (bodies, lots of em) but you have no idea what or where. I was absolutely terrified there. That is, until I learned the trick on how to beat them: listen for decloaking sound, pop slow-mo and look around you.

I found the OoT ReDeads kittens compared to the Wind Waker one's (played WW before OoT). That scream...o gods that blood curtailing scream.Z of the Na said:
Oddly enough there was one thing (Well two, but they both serve the same function) in resident evil 0 that scared me, or at least unsettled me.
Opening doors and going up/down stairs. Something about how it showed your character going through the door or up/down the stairs unsettled me.

I almost killed my friend because I thought they ereased all of my hard work. So many good times with that game.lordlee said:
Fatal Frame is still to this day the only game I have ever had to turn off and take a break from because I was being generally creeped out by it.
Condemned II, when those mannequins just.....appeared.
I proceeded to play Yoshi Story for a couple of hours to get me de-creeped.

One part of FEAR scared me hugely, thereby dispelling the rest of the game's scare factor. Pretty sure it was the first FEAR, when you turn around to go down a ladder and all you see as you slide down are Alma's ankles, just there. Nothing happens, but it scares the bajeesus out of you. Unfortunately, they didn't do anything as well for the rest of the game.
I found Dead Space scary for a while, but it went away. I love the game, but it used the same mechanics too many times to stay fresh in scare. It does however still make me jump when one of those buggers sneaks up on me.
Thief. Oh, lordy. The Shalebridge Cradle. It maketh me shiver.

Eternal Darkness when your insanity bar runs out. *shiver*
Extermination...the whole thing. I can't play it. I've tried six times with 2 years apart each attempt. Damn.
