Recommend me a horror game

[akfg666]

Well as it is I am rather bored and nothing new has come out that I haven't played (finished Deus Ex).
I'm a big fan of horror games and I would like you my fellow Escapists to recommend some horror games for either xbox 360 or PC.

Side not: Resident evil and L4D are not in my view "horror" games because my definition is something which is creepy/scary.

Thanks everyone!!

Condemned Criminal Origins was great. Second one was scary in some parts. Nightmare House for HL2 is good and it's free.

Silent Hill 2 for the PC, it's kinda hard to find nowadays since it's not available on any of the popular digital distribution sites but if you can find a boxed copy you're in for one hell of a ride.

Deploy the standard horror game recommendation!

Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

It's a horror game. It's the good stuff. And yes, it's scary.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for the Xbox is pretty good. It is compatible with the Xbox 360, but it has a problem. If you remove the hard drive while you're playing the game, it corrupts the Cthulhu save. But, it's atmospheric, your health is limited, and H.P. Lovecraft is always good for a scare and a look at the insignificance of humanity when compared with the universe.

You can also get that game for the PC from Steam.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is brilliant, as is every Silent Hill apart from 0rigins and Shattered Memories.

 

[Diliviero]

Hate to recommend it again, but Amensia: The Dark Descent is just about the best horror game you're going to get. The atmosphere they manage to make is unbelievable, I've never felt anything like it when playing a game.

Can't really think of many actually scary games apart from that.

If you can find it; Eternal Darkness Sanitie Requim is a wonderful horror game. Also Amensia, any of the Silent Hills & Dead Space.

Deadspace , but only if you play on hard and above ,due to bullets being scarce you will fear every enemy encouter.
Silent hill 3( better than 2 imo ) play this on normal but riddle level on hard if you want challenging puzzles
Siren
Clock tower3

You choose a hard genre , horror is boarderline non-existant , is more gore than horror. Speaking of which i don't know if saw is a good game , but it got a sequel so...

Amnesia: The dark Descent.
I've heard good things about Nightmare house 2, so if you have Half life 2, definitely get it.
uhhh Silent hill 2 as well, and Metro 2033, although not horror, is really immersive and has creepy moments, as well as intense.

 

[mireko]

Yeah.. Amnesia, the Penumbra games, Dark Corners of the Earth, Condemned, Yume Nikki, Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, etc.

Most of these will be available on the PC or Xbox.
