    I think the title says everything. What are your scariest games of all time?

    I will forgo the obvious choice in favor of Alan Wake. While it doesn't have the scariest monsters or most bloody disgusting scenes, it makes up for it ten fold with some of the best atmosphere I've seen in a horror game. On top of that, the flashlight mechanic is a real stresser, forcing you into highly stressful situations, something which is always sure to enhance the fear reaction. If you've never played it before, I highly recommend it as it has a great plot as well. Writing is top notch and very Stephen King.
     
    there was this one game for the ps2 and i can't remember it. i just remember it was very violent and the deaths of people were bad.
    i like mortal kombat x except for the krypt because creatures jump out at you.
     
    I'd actually have to say Bioshock. I never got to finish the game since my friend wanted the game back, but from what I did play, I had to take a deep breath before heading down some hallways because the dread was really getting to me. It was very well executed, and I'll have to finish it someday.
     
    I hate Zombie games, and I turned Resident Evil(the PS1 original) off immediately. Didn't help that my dad lived pretty much in the woods at teh time...and the game takes place IN THE WOODS.

    Then I tried Silent Hill because I thought it was a mystery game like Myst was...once I walked into the section with a alleyway filled with dismembered bodies and bloody brick walls, game was also turned off.

    And then I downloaded P.T. onto my PS4 for some dumb reason...which I know use when having friends over the house to scare the hell out of them.

    I'm clearly not a fan of he horror genre. :P
     
    I played a lot of games that have a equally scared me, but I would say that the scariest that I played was Siren: Blood Curse. Out of all the survival horror games that I have played, it had me scared all the way through from beginning to end, it was the only one that I had to stop and talk to someone in order to even continue, and during no time in the game did I ever feel safe. Now this could change if I ever complete Siren/Forbidden Siren and Amnesia: The Dark Descent and I get around to playing Outlast.
     
    Silent Hill would b\probably take the cake in my scary game list. It is the only horror series that I have not completed a single game in. Some of the creatures are horrifying, the parts where there is no sound at all other than footsteps or creaking, and throughout most of the games, you never have a partner for to long to accompany you. And partly the fact that I have people that will bang on the door of my house during a tense moment...

    omg i love bioshock! i only have played bioshock infinite.

    oh i also say i think fallout 3 is pretty scary. those zombies >.<
     
    When the first diablo came out in 1997, it was considered pretty scary...for its time it had pretty grotesque graphics. I was never afraid of playing it (actually, one of my earliest moments of being a smart ass came from being allowed to name your character) but it instead acted as a catalyst for my over active imagination to combine with my lucid dreaming to create some really terrifying nightmares.
     
    F.E.A.R 2: Project Origins

    Just play this game lights turned off, curtains closed with headphones on and no one is home. The atmosphere of the game will freak you out.

    I know it had that effect on me... during the middle of the day :C
     
    Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. The game itself was scary enough, but then when your sanity meter started dropping, the game would REALLY scare you. Like, when you tried to save it would say "This action will delete all your saved data - are you sure you want to continue?" And no matter what you pressed, it would show all your saves being erased and close out the game. Then PSYCH - you're just going crazy. (f*ck you Eternal Darkness. f*ck you.)
     
    The only game that has ever really scared me is Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I know of many people that have not been scared at all by this game but it's the only one I've ever outright given up trying to play because it was so scary.

    I am happily surprised someone mentioned this. Diablo 1 was the very first game I played, and I was 6 when I played it first. Nothing terrified me more than fighting the Butcher or the Skeleton King. Nooooope

    But Amnesia: The Dark Descent did kind of make me stop playing pretty quickly. :x

    Damned is a fun co-op game where friends scare each other, essentially. Was super creepy when I first played it, and still is to be completely honest.
     
    Any mildly scary game I played as a kid (Shadowgate for NES, Shadow Man or heck, even OoT at times for N64). As I got older, games no longer scared me. I think the last one I played that did a decent job scaring me was Penumbra: Overture in 2008. I don't think I've been legitimately scared by any game since. I mostly find horror games either annoying or (rarely) interesting now, never really scary.
     
    dino crisis still strikes fear in my heart to this day I've never been able to handle it

    the most recently made game to scare me would probably be dead space 2 because of all the bloody jump scares that make up like 90% of all enemy entrances
    just walking around waiting for the inevitable violin trigger sound and screaming from the necromorphs did not leave me in good shape while I was playing it
     
    I don't get scared by video games, however my favorites have to be any Silent Hill/P.T. or Evil Dead.
     
    P.T. , scary as hell

    Uurrrgh...I hear you, man - Silent Hill was my first experience of horror games...disturbing much?!! Totally put me off the series, and horror games in general!! I'm actually not a fan of horror, PERIOD - I first tried SH after my older sister decided to rent it out from Blockbuster (her, being a horror fan lol) Getting to that bit you mentioned...BEWARE OF THE DOG on a fence - go through to come across...well, what you said!!! And there's a particular part, when you get to a little cafe...you're standing inside, wondering "ok, what are you supposed to do in here??" After, for some weird reason, about twenty or so minutes (???) of standing and looking about...the little device on the table suddenly whirs and flashes, and that thing comes...everyone know what I mean, right? Urhhh..o_O -_- Just, no. NOT A FAN!
