Oh, Aliens vs Predator when it first came out (2000??), playing as a Marine..... not played the recent ones.
AVP2 is my favourite of the series. Playing as the marine with the motion sensor which only shows what's in front and not behind!Doom3 is worth a run through. Lots of jumpy bits.

As above the first FEAR was very good for making you feel jumpy.
Has anyone played the Silent Hill games? I've seen the film and if the games are anything like that then it could be a contender.
Although looking at this vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luAzWcDK2cQ if it's 3rd person perspective only then it'd be an immersion breaker for me. 1st person or nothing.
I remember the 1st silent hill when you entered the school at the start with that haunting noise and those shuffling baby things coming at you in pitch black!! Will loom for a vidHas anyone played the Silent Hill games? I've seen the film and if the games are anything like that then it could be a contender.

Skyrim has some scary bits, mainly when you are going though dark caves or crypts, the atmospheric music kicks in. You hear some noises but can't see anything, the music changes kicking up the tention a notch or two, then wham a mahousive spider just drops right in front of you. New pants please.
The first Resident Evil did something similar, walking down a corridor with creepy music then thump as the spider drops behind you. You turn ...... SPIDER

I was just about to say that! It's the closest to capturing the feel of the film, and you'll spend a lot of time standing outside of doorways before you get the courage to go in.The most intense game I've played is DayZ though, not from the zombies, they are a minor annoyance, but it's when you stumble into another player, and often they don't notice you but if they do, there's a good chance they'll just open fire, and you're immediately kicked back to the start of the game.
The plus point is that you really don't want to die, the bad point however is that almost every other player will shoot on sight to rob you of your can of beans.

From reading the Day Z thread it appears that it can be rewarding, or frustrating. I can see up just turn into a death match/elimination style game. Or you get lucky and band up with others. Which is it's reward.
I have to give it a go as I see that the stand alone game is out.

I've just started playing Outlast - with the lights off and a headset on it seriously makes you jump
My finger if hovering over the buy button, £14.99 for a Sept 13 release game seems good value.Is there plenty of game play or is it all over after a couple of hours, does anyone know?
Edited to add, bought it anyway. I won't rush through it anyway.

Thief 3, The Cradle level. Won't spoil anything for those who havent played it but it was fkING scary!!
Graphics are pretty dated now which might dull it a bit, but the background music/score is just as terrifying as it was back when it was released.
Quite cheap to buy on steam, would recommend it!
