You should. People say it's not as scary as the first two... they lie. I hope you don't mind blood, because the WALLS will bleed.Sean Hollyman said:

As a man who doesn't play horror games, I'm going with Fate/Stay Night, any scene with Ilya in it.
This is her and her theme:
Yet I still unconsciously push myself away from the keyboard, and have my heart beat up whenever she appears.

Well i'm still afraid to download amnesia and even play it. I will get to it in the summer.
OT: The most terrified i've been in a game probably has to be when I played Fear 2 when I was younger and I was dragged into a small room by one of the little smeagal monsters and I proceeded to freak out and fire and many bullets as i had at all the other smeagal monsters bouncing around the room and clawing at my kneecaps.

I'm going to ignore Amnesia because it's a no-brainer and chip in with Silent Hill 2.
The first apartment building, when you go to the top floor. That noise. That... goddamn noise...
Turned out you couldn't actually go into the room it was coming from, but still, reluctantly walking towards the door scared the shit out of me.
Also, any part of Silent Hill 4 with Victims, and some of the parts with Doubleheads. I. Hate. Victims.
Edit: Also a special mention to certain 'happenings' in your apartment later in Silent Hill 4. I haven't played it out of fear since my first encounter with the 'things that happen there after you arrive in the hospital world'. It was my only safe place in the game, now even there I'm in danger. Halp.
Another edit: Also a mention to the 'warning involving your neighbour' in SH4.
You know what, disregard this entire post, replace it all with just "Silent Hill".

I recently downloaded the first Silent Hill and I really don't get what's so scary about it. I am in the other world school and so far i have only been scared once, and it was a damn jump scare.putowtin said:
Honestly, Search and Destroy from Call of Duty with no mic and being the last man standing. Slowly creeping around the corner with bullets ringing in the distance, praying to god that there isn't someone watching you, about to pull that trigger...
Yea either that or the bear from condemned 2. I was playing with a friend and he heard what he thought was a roar. I told him to ignore it like i did, and i ended up getting a claw to the face.
Good times.

First time I played this one 3d math game that my dad got for me, I decided to run away from an enemy, which lead to him stalking me for the rest of the time that I didn't spend shutting the damn computer off!
There is a big difference between being scared and being startled.
I have been startled many times, the latest was the freaking giant spider in Limbo.
Silent Hill 2 and Dead Space are a couple of games that set up the scary mood but were not really scary... I mean playing-with-your-psyche, giving-you-nightmares, shiting-in-your-pants scary; but there are some great startles!

Many games spooked me but the only ones I've played that made me quit the game after a relatively short while and come back later to play were the Shalebridge level in Thief3 and Amnesia.
Amnesia especially has a VERY thick oppressive atmosphere made even worse by the fact that you can't basically look at monsters or you'll go nuts and because you can only run, you can't hit them over the head with anything. The DLC is even scarier at times. This is a game that FULLY deserves its reputation. I managed to scare at least a dozen people I know with it, gave them headphones and sat in the next room to hear their reactions. Most wanted to shut down the game after 20-30 minutes.
That Ctulhu game(dark corners or whatever it was called) was pretty scary as well but the gameplay got way too awful for me to continue.

As RJ17 said, the Marine campaign from AVP2 is the scariest game I've ever played. Granted I haven't played many horror games but damn, is it terrifying. The scariest 'jump-scare' is when a marine appeared out of fucking nowhere around a corner in Doom II. It was scary because I though it was empty.

Then I hope you're ready to dive into it again with the upcoming Aliens:Colonial Marines by GearboxRJ 17 said:

The first time I learned why one does not simply walk into Rio Bravo in Red Dead Redemption, and then trying to collect Red Sage there.
But the real fun times were just after that, when I saw a cougar on the path ahead, and it ran into the bushes and rocks before I could shoot it. Somehow that bastard evaded me for a good two minutes, and the whole time I kept expecting it to pounce from whichever direction I wasn't looking. Doom Demons ain't got nuthin on RDR cougars.
