What game would you say is the scariest game you've ever played?

I would have to say Fatal Frame. That game is hard to play. Even my brother, the horror lover he is, couldn't play it for very long.

I totally have to ditto that! I cannot make it through. I pick it up every now and then, but end up putting back down again after about 30 minutes at most. I have yet to finish it...Then there's Fatal Frame 2 and Fatal Frame 3, and Fatal Frame 4 is in the works. I don't think I'll ever finish this series...

I also will say Resident Evil and Silent Hill. I can make it through those just fine, but there are areas that make me jump, like the infamous hallway in Resident Evil, or the infamous Hospital in Silent Hill.

Resident Evil never really scared me. Did un-nerve me at times but not trully scared. I love the game though. I did like the part in RE 4 where you play as Ashley and have to go into the pitch black basement to get a keystone.

Silent Hill on the other hand is pretty frightening. It's dark environment and high lack of light really makes for a good time. I can never seem to finish the game as I always get stuck somewhere.

But Fatal Frame had my heart pounding and all. Every time the ghosts came I always jumped. Because they jump into view as a flash and can only be seen through the camera. Not to mention the screams they make everytime they flash into view. I gotta get that game again. Don't know what happened to my copy.

I can't think of many other games right at the moment.

What about The Hallway? The one is Resident Evil 1 where the dog jumps out a window at you, then in Resident Evil 2 there's the same hallway with boarded up windows with the zombie hand that reaches out, and in Code Veronica there's the same hallway with no windows that the giant tentacle shoots out of the wall at you? No one who has played Resident Evil can say that hallway didn't scare the crap out of them.

I meant the game in general. Those did make me jump, yes. In Resident Evil 4, though, the one thing that trully frightens me is when the Regenerators show up. (I actually forgot about The Hallway. What's wrong with me?)

Ah, yes, the Regenerators. Whenever one of those guys appeared, my heart rate instantly sky rocketed. They got especially bad once you started running into the ones with the leech things on the back. Those are almost impossible to kill. One time, however, I got really lucky and managed to, somehow, shoot the back leech while facing the front. It sure made the battle a lot easier!

I think those are called Iron Maidens. I may be wrong. I was relived to hear that there are only about 5 Regenerators and even less Maidens in the game. They're hard as heck to kill. (You need thermal goggles and a rifle to kill them.)

Sort of, Iron Maidens are a form of Regenerators, but the location and number of the parasites is determined by the difficulty level of the game, and the location. Link

Sorta changing directions here, I've been playing Silent Hill 2 more often. That game is scary when you're not prepared. The "breathing" hallway near the start of the game made me un-easy. And when you first get the flashlight, you turn it on and that thing with legs for the upper body, also known as a Mannequin, scared the heck out of me as it jumped up. I know what I'll be playing more of.

I also like how the radio emits an errie static when the monsters are nearbye. And why are we the only ones in this thread?

I think the scariest... well maybe not scary more creepy, definatly had me looking over my should a fair bit and jumping at the slightest noises was Eternal Darkness. This is a game that actually played the player lol.

As well as a health bar your characters had a sanity bar, as this went down things started to happen... don't want to spoil it , but well worth looking out for, could probably find it cheap around, I think it is only on the Gamecube though. Works on Wii too...
