Scariest Video Game

[(s.i.e)]

wolvenstein 3-D scared the hell out of me when i was a kid, it was so realistic back then D:

Heh. Not a horror game, but Metroid Prime's Chozo ghosts were pure nightmare fuel at first. Ah I love em.

[Ciccone]

The Silent Hills series is pretty scary, at least when I played them.

[Lucario95]

Right now none, In my childhood Mortal Kombat games from the first gameboy had always gave the creeps especially the music and the sounds.

[chanseychansey77]

How about LoZ:Majora's Mask? Nothing sets the mood quite like an impending (and obviously so) apocalypse, and the half-mummies, haunted dead people being turned into very painful transformation masks, and the very creepy moon children help it in no way at all.

The original Resident Evil games and 999.

That whiteface game. *shudders*

Okami's not a scary game at all, but one thing that really stands out is the sunken ship. First off, the atmosphere suits the title. Plus, the ghosts don't stop moving when you use the celestial brush attack, the chests and pots can put out some freaky creatures, and there's a green hand following you around. It's a relatively creepy experience for what acts like a great game.

Doom 3 freaked me out at the start, when I played it on the computer. However, I'm now playing it on 360 and it's not really bothered me at all.

FEAR was kind of freaky though, in spots.

That whiteface game. *shudders*

Hmm?...Oh yeah, that looks a little odd.

I'm sorry for bringing this up first, but I'm saying Slender.

Seriously, if you haven't already play it. With a friend.

Volume on max, one person walking and another looking. I tried it once with my mate, and he was looking so when I told him 'You'll die if you look at Slender Man too long' he decided it'll be best to walk around looking at the sky.

Safe to say... that keyboard sent us into little girl screaming fits.

Probably amnesia the dark descent for me >.<

The Left 4 Dead series. I always get scared when tanks come

[Night_Walker]

Dead Space II - scared the crap out of me, especially given how useless the weapons felt.

The Left 4 Dead series. I always get scared when tanks come

I hated dealing with tanks, especially on expert (of course), although killing them was quite satisfying.

In general, I got a little scared anytime something approached with a special sound effect on expert (i.e., anything that wasn't zombies just standing around)

Dead Space II - scared the crap out of me, especially given how useless the weapons felt.

I found that game more disturbing then scary, especially the pack and those weird baby things. Also the 'eye poke' machine was pretty weird. The Ishimura level was legitimately scary though- so many bad memories and deaths, the tension was through the roof.

Which weapons did you use?

Silent Hill. I only played it once because of that. :(

I certainly found it scary due to the combination of "what the heck is going on", jump-out scares, weird/frightening enemy designs and the general feeling of being weak.

Can't remember, been that long since I played it, but likely whatever weapons were there to be picked up.

I don't enjoy getting scared or indulging in those kinds of things such as movies or video games.

But I did play Doom heavily as a kid. I blame Wolfenstein. It certainly had some scary moments. I remember being put in like this world where they have the giant chaingun demons and the walls are bleeding everywhere. Scared the heck out of me.

I downloaded Bioshock 2 and while I am sure it is not the most scary game out there, but it definitely has it suspenseful creepy moments.

[Phlogiston]

Metroid: Other M. Especially terrifying because it's actually an official release.

[Un0va]

System Shock 2 is a pretty atmospheric game. The level with the cyborg maidens scared the shit out of me.

Metroid: Other M. Especially terrifying because it's actually an official release.

Resident Evil 6 was horrifying for the same reason.

[britishlanguage]

Horror games have never been my cup of tea, but I have been scared by the Dead Money DLC in Fallout: New Vegas. Although you could make this the background music in anything, and it would be scary. (Why'd someone bump a 3 year-old thread? Oh well.)
