What game makes you're skin crawl? It gives you nightmares and is sometimes so scary that you don't want to play. For me, the scariest games I've ever played are silent hill games. 3 being the scariest for me; I never got in to 2, and "pyramid-head" didn't scare me at all. The voice acting is TERRIBLE though, so that is good for a laugh in between gameplay. The idea is genius: It's scares come from stressful noises, disturbing monsters, depressing landscapes, and most of all: the fear of the unknown. Because people have an uncanny attracting to wanting to know more about stuff, SH uses this to its advantage. What do the monsters look like? What's behind this door? What was that sound? All of these things usually lead you to danger. The game is just freaking scary as heck. The game also starts you off with these club arm things as the first enemy... AHHHHHHHH!!!!! http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/6430/silenthill32.jpg

-The first Silent Hill game - the demo was scary enough for me. -First Resident Evil game - dogs, giant snake, giant spider, Hunters (after first seeing those (in that FMV sequence), I didn't want to leave the save room). -Project Zero - only played demo. -Dead Space - especially those crazy fast ones onboard the crashed ship. All I can think of for now.

Well I don't know if there is any game that scares me like that... Well actually Dead Space 2 is more disgusting than scary but there are some moments that could really scare a lot of people. For example the baby necromorphs. DX

Like the rest of you it was Silent Hill and Project Zero that scared me along with System Shock 2. I used to get scared more by movies than games, though. There was also this game called Clone that scared me but it looks really dated now. It reminds me of that old Windows maze screensaver. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pV5sBK3X8M

Hysteria Project - played on PSP in a bed, at midnight, when all the lights are turned out, my parents are sleeping and with headphones... I tried that, just to see if it's really so scary. EDIT: Oh and I did the same with Dante's Inferno.

You know what would be a game they should make? I am legend. That would be freakin scary. Just think of it. The infected just jumping out at you unexpectedly. And all you have is a gun. All by yourself. But they haven't made it into a game. I wish they would though.

All by yourself. But they haven't made it into a game. I wish they would though. You start having a blast killing all the infected ones with your amazing skills. You're enjoying the campaign so much that the game isn't even scaring you. And then the dog scene comes up. http://i43.tinypic.com/whmbya.gif Uninstalled, broke the game disc, sent it back to the developers, and cried in a corner for the rest of the day.

+1 for Amnesia I love me some horror in movies and games, but this has scared me the most out of everything I've seen. It doesn't use cheap tactics either of having enemies jump out of nowhere all the time (though it does happen on the odd occasion), this game truly messes with your mind. So on that note, horror fans get your wallet ready: http://www.nextfrictionalgame.com/

The only game I have played that actually gave my a scare is Minecraft, but that was more like a surprise scare, not a terror scare. The game that gave me a terror scare was Ocarina of Time, with the "Dead Hand" boss, and that giant spider-flying-pineapple thing.

I haven't really been scared of a game... D: I was scared of LBP when it was announced though. I had a calender from EB games (Gamestop) and it showed Sackboy really close up, and I didn't even want LBP because I thought it was the most horrifying thing I ever saw. I ended up wanting LBP when I saw the trailers and videos though...

Amnesia as well. No other game will probably EVER scare me as much as that nightmare did. The levels in which the monster (In which most cases, you won't see before it kills you) are extremely terrifying because the moody atmosphere and horrific sounds authenticate the feelings of being chased by an abomination. It actually scared me enough for me to stop playing for a few days. Yup.

Amnesia as well. No other game will probably EVER scare me as much as that nightmare did. Amnesia never really scared me all that much. The design of the play area looked too cartoonish for me and the controls felt strange. Also, I dind't like that you almost always couldn't see your killer. I mean, it's like if you were playing super mario 64 and then you just died; then the game told you a monster killed you. That's not scary, that's just annoying! The monsters in Amnesia were scary when you saw them, but that was rare. I like to have at least a general idea of what I'm running from. :/

Add the atmosphere, the feeling of helplessness and you got yourself a dam scary game. Bonus points for those who played this at night.

As for PARTS of games that scared me like crazy, there are a few: The piano in Super Mario 64. http://screenshots.wegame.com/6-4958290775421055/4958290775421055_l.jpg The ReDead noises from Ocarina of Time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU21AG8HWhk (These still scare the crap out of me... the shadow temple was traumatizing!)

The whole point is that you're not sure where these monsters are, where they will jump at you from and what they'll actually do to you (so when you hear a noise you tend to run to a corner laying bricks and looking around like a maniac!). It makes the times when you do see them all the more scarier. Plus the fact that you can't fight them... just run and hide... that makes it terrifying. For example, in Dead Space we see them all the time, and I don't find that game scary at all because of it. You also get awesome weapons. I never find them scary because the horror of it ran out after seeing it the first time, and I have a big weapon to blow them away too.

You know, I don't think I've ever played a game that's truly horrified me. The amount of games I have played in general isn't much though. Always wanted to play Silent Hill, I might try and find it cheap somewhere.

I guess the part that ruined Amnesia's scary factor (NOT ALL OF IT! The part where the invisible thing chases you when you fall in the water was terrifying!!!) for me was the fact that you really couldn't see the monsters or you didn't know what was going on. Not these things themselves, but the way they were executed. Like, in Silent Hill you usually can't see the monsters themselves up close and in detail, but this was because it was foggy, dark, and the camera always seemed to face away from the monster, so you had to look around to actually see them. Also in Silent Hill, you don't know what's going on, but in Silent Hill everything is actually supposed to be happening in real life, and you're just the victim of it (Sort of.) I can't describe it. I love Amnesia as well as Dead Space, and they really are creepy games. They honestly scare me at times. The thing is, they're not the scariest for me. That's all I'm saying!

Amnesia is the closest thing to a horror game available, because in reality you won't just find a weapon laying around and kill everything in your path; you would hide in a corner and cry like a ***** until you died or actually did something to escape. Also, Amnesia's atmosphere blows everything out of the water.

Also, Amnesia's atmosphere blows everything out of the water. Oi you! I didn't say Amnesia was bad! I love it (on my second playthrough as a mater-o-fact)! It has a great atmosphere as well! It just didn't scare me as much, that's all... I never kill the monsters in silent hill anyway. You can just run right past them usually. (I play on hard mode, just because if they DO hit you, you get penalized for it.) As for the weapons they give you, they're are basically useless. They don't do anything. If I absolutely HAVE to kill something I use a melee weapon(they're more powerful for some reason), and that just makes me uneasy, getting close and all. Oh joy, I'm rambling again... Also what I meant by that, well, horribly phrased explanation is that your character isn't suffering any disorders or brain injuries like you are in Amnesia, and thus stuff is actually happening; not a delusion. Then again, I can see what the developers were thinking: having your character being mentally unstable and therefor making gameplay uneasy. I respect that you find Amnesia the scariest game you've played. You should respect others' too. This isn't a competition. (By the way, I lol'd my ar$e off at that "wut" pic. )

I don't know what Hotel 626 is, so I'll have to give a try soon. Also, since we're talking about saving [x] and fighting monsters: Penumbra > La Quinta 626 /thread inside a thread inside a thread inside a taco Here's a quick summary I found. The site, Hotel 626, requires you to use a webcam, a microphone, and register with the site so that they can immerse you properly into this hellish nightmare. Don't worry it's not that hellish. In fact, it's pretty fun! The site runs entirely on flash, and utilizes your webcam to make sure you're playing in the proper conditions, namely with all the lights turned off. As a bonus, Hotel 626 is only open at night time, from 6pm to 6am, so you won't be getting out of the creepy factor too easily. One impressive measure of the game's creativity is the lengths that it goes to create a sense of immersion in the scenario. At the beginning, while registering, you are given the option to allow access to your computer's webcam and microphone; if you do so, both those elements will be used in later levels. You have to pay attention very carefully for clues in the cinematic scenes that will let you solve puzzles and survive the horror. One stage tells you to flash a goul with your on-screen camera, and one asks you to sing a lullabye. Users with cameras connected will find that the game takes a quick picture of you without you knowing about it. Don?t be surprised to find your picture mixed in with the live action scenes. Also, near the end of the game, players in the United States can enter their phone numbers and receive a kah-reepy call from a "friend" that will help you escape Hotel 626, so make sure you have your cell nearby.

I found it far more scary than Amnesia. I guess my brain realizes that it looks too cartoony, thus takes away any scary aspect from the game.

I never played Silent Hill but I kinda want to because it sounds awesome and a big horror game. I like scary games and movies. But most things in games and movies don't really scare me that much. D: I don't remember other enemies and there's probably another game that scared me a little more than this But this kinda stood out when I thought of something that scared me is Resident Evil 5 on Professional + the Chain-Saw guy.. You're walking, scared something is gonna pop out at you on the next corner, then you hear a chainsaw rev up and the way it gets louder as he comes for you is horrifying. You just know that if he gets close to you he chain-saws your head off.. The way he walks towards you with it just creeps me out. http://s5.60s.com.vn/image/72010/12/GAMEK_15831323.jpg http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/948/948761/resident-evil-5-20090127090144526.jpg

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. At this point, I'm sure you're thinking; "A Pokemon game on the DS? Scary? SERIOUSLY? Now I've seen everything." OK. Not that scary. Now think about it; in the pitch black, at 1pm, near the very end of the game, full volume, headphones in, home alone. I therefore advise everyone thinking exactly that to pick up said game and play the last couple of hours in the same conditions I did. Advise everyone? Nope, that just doesn't cut it. I dare you. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU. Don't come crying back to me when you find out how scary a handheld Pokemon game can be.

Well, when I were young the game Myst gave me nightmares for some reason. Other than that I was very stressed in Beyond Good & Evil and in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, but I can't say where in the game without spoiling. Oh, there was also Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within, with the terrible Dahaka, a human-ish demon with horns and spiky tentacles coming out of the stomach. The nearer it got to you, the lower the saturation (amount of colors) would get. At least it made it less gore to see the tentacles kill you in black and white. I also got super-scared while playing LBP, the day I though I had lost all my data.

the only memorable frightening moment in a game for me would have to be a moment from Tombraider. the game takes you through a narrow passageway and then into a labyrinth of climbing, shimmying and rolling. once you have managed to crawl through you are confronted with a straight, narrow corridor. having been made to feel claustrophobic for the last 30 mins you instinctively run towards the exit of the long, narrow corridor, seeking the freedom of the larger environments. you eventually reach the end of the corridor and burst out into a huge, brightly lit open space. just as your eyes get hit with that sudden blast of light, a Trex makes a snap for your head. that's brilliant programming and story telling. i think that's why games are not as scary as they used to be. more effort is put into making the monster look scary instead of making the game scary. techniques like the one i mentioned above were what made games exciting and scary.

my scared moment gotta be the ps2 red screen "of death" when i was a kid. placed the wrong disk and it showed the the red screen. I freaking jumped cause 1. the sound is creepy. and 2. it's like a welcome sign of hell. that's very not like sony. then about 9 years have past i 100% forgot about it. the ps2 disk had a error then...it appeared...I jumped when it happened. think about it. you played the console, you think you've seen everything about the console, then BAM something you hadn't seen before, you thought it might be some weird dream but it was real. I think ps2 red screen of death is the scariest screen error in consoles.ps3 and ps1 isn't that much and xbox360 red ring of death is not that bad really except for the fact that you can't play your 360. So anyway about the red screen of death. i looked on youtube (XD) and see if it happened to others. many were scared too about it. i remembered a funny comment that said "you should never play this in the dark" it's funny cause it's so true. The ps2 might be the best console ever to many people but it sure haves its dark side. But since you said game then...gotta be spiderman web of shadows. the symbiote thing idc what it's name looks so creepy. so creepy even venom doesn't look that creepy compare to those things. also the part when they drop symbiote looks like it would be their blood... also the bad ending wasn't really scary but it was like a cliff-hanger and that was kinda scary. just the symboite things just freak me out and the characters like black cat and wolverine got infected that was even creepier.

Let me say this first- I am a HUGE Silent Hill fan. I have played through every single main series release, as well as every spin off released in the US. So believe me when I say that those who gave 'Silent Hill: Downpour' a poor review must be on some kind of crazy crack. The game is an amazing model of how to make a great horror game. It has a scare around every corner (with little things, like a shadow darting behind a row of trees, or a face in a window disappearing), good visuals, dark atmosphere, and some of the best video game voice acting I have ever seen. And though the combat is a step down from the system in 'Homecoming' this is a welcome change, dis-empowering the player in a realistic, and for the most part, non-frustrating manner. My only gripe with the game at all is it's underwhelming 6 enemy types (including all subtypes) that are all humanoid enemies. You won't be seeing any demon dogs this time around... The enemies the game does offer however, have a few skins each, and this helps a lot. This game is pretty much the closest Silent Hill has ever been to an open ended experience with many side quests all of which are haunting and reveal a great deal about the titular town's history of the occult, not to mention volumes of literature on the dark doings within the haunted city. Gone is the series' beloved air raid siren, replaced with a non-scripted weather system and a day and night cycle that bring out the evil side of the town and spawn dozens of nightmarish creatures for you to do battle with or escape into one of many full interiors the town has to offer, each with it's own mysteries and side missions. This game is nearly the perfect game. It is only missing variety in enemies, and a little tweak here and there, and it could stand up to classics like SH2 and SH3. If things continue in this direction, instead of going in a "new, edgier" direction, the series could indeed be heading to it's long awaited second golden age. TLDR 'Silent Hill: Downpour' is the second scariest Silent Hill, and the best in recent memory. PS. SH4: the Room is the scariest in my opinion, and it is all in the details! Konami needs to get their ****nit together and start back towards that pile of screams!

All answers that aren't Amnesia are still as irrelevant as they were before.

All answers that aren't Amnesia are still as irrelevant as they were before. Okay, I love Amnesia as much as the next guy, but let me translate what you just said: "Amnesia is the scariest game ever because it has recently been relevant thanks to YouTube and KYM, and I'm so hip and cool that I brag about playing it. Everybody else's actually good arguments still suck!" That is you. That is how you sound. We get it; Amnesia is scary, and you were ****-in-pants scared out of your mind. Now, mind telling us why you 'think' its scary instead of trying to look like Tommy Badass Jr. (as usual)?

When I think about it, I actually don't have a whole lot of horror-based games in my videogame library though I'm thinking about getting Silent Hill from PSN. On the other hand I do have a lot of games that have scary elements in them like the hideously mutated splicers in the BIoshock games (especially the completely silent plastered spider splicers) or the horrors of Reaper indoctrination and huskification in Mass Effect. For the most part I was never really too scared by them probably because of the inherently fantastical nature of how those things come about so to my surprise, one of the scariest things I found in a game as of late was set in one of the more deliberately fantastical videogame franchises: the Fallout series. For those who don't know, one of the more recurring disturbing elements of the Fallout franchise was the Vault experiments wherein over a hundred subterrainean survival shelters, ostentably made for the purpose of surviving a nuclear apocalypse, were in fact used to conduct horribly immoral experiments on its inhabitants for the sake of those in power who intended themselves to be the true inheritors of Earth. Many of the experiments were rather fanciful, being used for things such as testing mutagens, Matrix-esque VR simulations or mind control techniques but I personally find the most disturbing to be Vault 11 that appeared in Fallout: New Vegas. It was one of the most mundane of the vaults but the fact that there are so few fantastical elements to it make it all the more scary because it involved an experiment that, while it would require appropriate conditions to conduct, could be all too possible to replicate in real life...and with similarly tragic results that would come about purely through humans behaving inhumanely albeit not at all unbelievably: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyN_fmTeohg

Wow. Well, actually, I've sort of lost any fear of Amnesia after watching so many commentaries on it. Same with Slender. The people playing it are just so hilarious and react in such over-the-top ways that the game just can't be very scary to me any more (that and the fact that I've seen it played over 9000 times). Of course, both are still very scary games. I still get surprised every once and a while by them. But very lately, the SCP series and Ao Oni. Flipping freaky. SCP is just downright creepy. You're just walking around casually in a haunted/evil/demonic place such as an endless and unlighted staircase for testing reasons, and there could be something following you the whole way down and all you have to do is turn around. I haven't seen "SCP Containment Unit" yet, but by the looks of it, I'm sure it's scary. Ao Oni can be really hilarious at times for awkward reasons, but it just reminds me of a nightmare. Really. Something I'd have as a nightmare. Big ugly purple demons with deformed human faces chasing you around in a house for some reason. I watched PDP play it, and it's pretty freaky. Especially when he hides in the closet or the creatures corner him. Games that I feel are scary are ones that leave you defenseless and vulnerable against monsters. (Yes, I know Amnesia is one example, but like I said before, I've seen it played too many times. However, new custom stories may still give me a scare.) The atmosphere has to nail it as well. I feel jumpscares are kind of a cheap way to induce fear, but it's still a very effective way. Stuff like sounds, unexpected happenings, and again, atmosphere are really what make it scary for me. I forgot to mention Dead Space. To my surprise, it wasn't exactly super-ultra scary for me. I actually thought it was fun to encounter terrifying situations. It usually meant a beatdown of loads of monsters and exploding babies. Of course there were those moments that really surprised me. I've never been so scared of a game that I flipped OUT though. I usually just quit then.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Slender (free!) are the only two games to ever actually strike fear into my heart.

I couldn't get through the Silent Hill demo on ps1 without pooping my pantaloons. Resisdent Evil isn't that scary overall, it just has it's moments.

Honestly, the most recent game that has made me crap my pants in fear is DayZ. No, not when seeing zombies - they're easy to take care of. But when you see another player, and that moment of 'Is he friendly!? I don't know so I'll try kill him anyway' pops up. The fear of possibly dying and losing all your stuff really kicks in. I look forward to the standalone game.
