Scariest Games Ever?

With the recent release of Dead Space and halloween upcoming i would like to revisit the age old topic of what do you think are the scariest games ever?Heres my top 1010. Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)
Capcom comes up strong with this one. Refrigerator Man, the chainsaw guys, and shooting the water before killing the fish boss are the most memorable scares. 9. Dead Space (Xbox 360)
This game gets an A+ for having the creepiest atmosphere of any game. The first few scares are pretty good especially having you running for your life in the start of the game. The scare tactics got predictable at the end however. Scariest Games Ever?
8. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly - Director's Cut (Xbox)
Any game that forces you to get as close as possible to ghosts so you can take a picture of them. The games main weapon is a camera that traps ghosts.7. Condemned: Criminal Origins (Xbox 360)
Fighting crack heads in the dark with rusty pipes and 2X4's with nails sounds like the perfect formula for a scary game. Fighting your first fake mannequin in the old department store is sure to make you mess your pants. And last but not least the creepy visions make up the most memorable scares. Unfortunately the second game had better gameplay but was not scary and felt like it took a complete 720 from the original games story.6. FEAR (PC)
Alma's sudden appearance at the end of hallways, in air ducts you were crawling trough, on the ceiling, behind you, and everywhere she managed to get always scared the biscuits out of you. This game also gets kudos for having the most elaborate and interactive scary visions of any game.5. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (Gamecube)
The creepy story and sudden environment changes always kept you on the edge of your seat. There is nothing like exploring a creepy mansion while trying to keep ypur character from going insane with fear. This game had the best scare tactics by making you thing your game was scratched, blacking the screen out while surrounded by enemies, and making you think you game save was erased.Scariest Games Ever?
4. Doom 3 (Xbox)
Hearing babies crying while running from a demon down a blood soaked hallway was a common occurrence in this game. The most memorable thing about this game was the fact that you could not have a flashlight and your weapon out at the same time. You fought most zombies and demons in a almost completely dark room 87% percent of the time.3. Resident Evil (Gamecube)
The first time you see that zombie look at you while its eating you fallen comrade you realize this is not the same game you played back on the PS1. The creepy camera angles and the Barry Sanders like moves you had to pull of to run away from zombies usually made you dread seeing the undead. After encountering your first Crimson Head you always made sure you decapitated every zombie head after killing them.
2. System Shock 2 (PC)
A beautiful and horrific merger of Doom and Half-Life, this amazing game was one of the firsts to offer open-ended character development with seemingly infinite choices of how your character leveled up. As the seemingly only surviving crew member of your ship (with your only ally being main enemy the Artificial Intelligence SHODAN) you had to kill countless enemies know as the Many. System Shock 2 bled real psychological terror with hundreds of dead infected crew members trying to rip your face off while they beg you to kill them. The extreme lack of ammo had you searching everywhere for more ammo while listening to the crew member's audio logs telling the ghastly tale of what happened to them. Did i mention the terrifying psychic monkeys with their oversized exposed brains? System Shock 2 can be seen now as the game that spawned Bioshock and Dead Space.
1. Aliens vs. Predator 2 (PC)
AVP2 offered 3 separate campaigns; Human, Alien, and Predator. Playing as the Aliens and the Predators was fun and highly exhilarating. Playing as a human however, was sheer terror. This game was hella dark, literally pitch black in most parts. Most of the time the only light you had was your flares and flash light. Running backwards throwing flares while hearing dozens of facehuggers skittering all around you is one of the most terrifying aspects of the game. Fighting against the warrior Aliens is a nightmare, They are all black and blended in with the walls and almost everything. Not to mention the fear when you hear the infamous blipping of your motion detector while you see the Aliens coming at you from everywhere. The horror doesnt stop there since they could crawl on the walls and ceilings and through air ducts and even under you. The Predators, as most of you know, have their stealth ability. You know they are out there and you can hear them but you cannot see them, until you get nailed with a spear and they charge you like a demon. As a kid going into the 7th grade I bought this knowing it was probably going to be scary (they gave you a coupon for a free pair of underwear because they guarantee you were going to soil yours) but i had no real idea what I was in store for.

Thanks for reading guys and girls!P.S. Bioshock was not scary! I really dont see how it was scary at all.
The suffering scared the **** outta me.
I don't think there is one...
Resident Evil for the gamecube is the scariest game i've ever played. It made me so uncomfotable that I had to stop playing. Bioshock is another game that frightens me.
I think condemned was pretty crazy and scary all at the same time
Fatal frame games are scary as hell. I would love to see them on Xbox originals but the most scariest game is Imagine: Teacher on the DS.
Dead Space is really good at making you jump, The whole Silent Hill series I really enjoyed and can't wait to play the new one, Condemned was also very erie to name a couple
havnt played many horrors but always the resident evil games were up there same with the silent hill(new one is awesome) then dead space and looking forward to left 4 dead.
Resident Evil for the PlayStation 1 was pretty scary when it came out since the graphics of the mansion were pretty good, it had a lot of scary camera angles, and the music was atmospheric. Plus, the cut-scenes of zombies eating people were pretty graphic for the time. So was Silent Hill, since it was the first game I played that had that camera movement (like when you walked down a alleyway, the camera would tilt/pan to a dutch angle shot).
The suffering spooked me pretty good
5-The Thing (XBOX)4-Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)3-AliensvsPredator 2 (PC) You're right about this game, playing as the humans was terrifying.2-Doom 3 (XBOX)1- Dead Space (PS3) I know it's the new guy on the block, but I love this game. It may not be the scariest but the games atmosphere and design is unmatched.More survival horror in space please!
I found Resident Evil 4 boring and in terms of being scary.... it was just your run of the mill action game. Bioshock was wonderful, great atnosphere, one of the best scariest games was Silent Hill and Doom 3, it's a different kind of scare though between the two games.
bump
