Condemned was terrifying at times. Condemned 2 was the worst sequel I've ever played but Condemned was brilliant and really scary
Silent Hill 3 was hellish scary too, playing as a young girl, feeling vulnerable and the fact that a lot of it takes place in well-lit areas and it's still mind-numbingly scary at times shows how awesome it is

Thief 1. I played it back in its prime when I was a young-un. I could not get past the bonehoard mission for the longest time due to sheer terror.
I finally beat it one day when my balls had grown a size or two and thought I was in the clear.
And then I came across a place known as the The Haunted Cathedral...

Splatterhouse 3 scared the hell out of me as a kid. Other than that, nothing. These days, there just isn't anything scary. I don't have this crazy fear of little Japanese girls so many people seem to have, I don't get scared of dogs jumping through the same windows all the time, and even the games that scared me as a kid just don't hold up anymore (mainly because I'm way older now, and I see it all in a different way now).
You fucking bet I did!The Hairminator said:

Condemned 2: Bloodshot
I don't care if that makes me a pussy, that game was the first and last time I ever pissed myself.

Probably Silent Hill 1 and 2 when I first play both them many years ago, most recenlty maybe the first Fear on PC.
Bioshock. The atmosphere is perfectly realised. Everyones insane. God that was scary. Doom 3 kinda. But that was usually more startling than scary. It made you jump, but Bioshock was actually scary because you feared the enemies, not just their appearance.
Agreed, just had my first bear encounter a few minutes ago. Seeing how large they are always angers me...how did I not see that?! Was it hiding behind a tree? Grr....also, Condemned was pretty creepy. Oh, I forgot to mention Silent Hill 2. Especially while thinking through what the scenes and creatures shown are metaphors for...kinda odd.DividedUnity said:
I was doing the challenge to kill Khan the jaguar and had just put down some bait and hid behind a large rock when I thought how terrifying it would be if Khan suddenly came up behind me. Not 2 seconds after I thought this, I was suddenly viciously attacked from behind and a little message popped up telling me I found Khan. I jumped a foot in the air.DividedUnity said:
King Kong.
True, it wasn't a horror game as such but when you consider that nearly every enemy is bigger than you are, and that it only takes two hits for you to get killed, and that the only way you stand a chance is to be careful with your ammo supplies and hide in whatever shelter you can... let me tell you, you get anxious.

The original Alone in the Dark, for PC. Not quite as effective now because of painfully dated graphics (coming from someone who does not put heavy emphasis on graphics), but at the time it creeped the hell out of me. One of the concepts that AitD utilized that I have not really seen in a game since is the fact that you literally do not know what can and can't kill you. In Resident Evil, you know what are enemies, you just don't always know when they'll appear. In AitD, you didn't even know what were enemies. Sure, some were obvious, but others were not. Suit of armour, statues, even a painting on the wall came alive and attacked you. Even once you did figure out what were enemies, you didn't always know how or have the capacity to kill them. Some enemies are unkillable, some enemies are like puzzles and require specific items to kill.
And man, I certainly did not want to actually play that one while being literally alone in the dark.
