Most scary gaming experience?

[Robster]

Any games genuinely scared you , I remember the first bioshock freaking the life out of me, the visions and voices *shudder*

resident evil on ps1 made me jump a few times.

[skeeterm5]

I agree - Resident Evil, when they lurched out of the walls and the like.....

[The Nur]

Doom 3 was pretty jumpy. The bit where the thing bursts through the stairs particularly so.

[Wobbegong]

Dead space when that tentacle grabs you

[Meoricin]

Alien Isolation, all the way through.

[frisbee]

The Kitchen demo. VR is a billion times scarier.

The Metro 2033 games do it for me. I got so far in the second game and I refuse to go any further until I have company to play it with. Scares the ste out of me every time!

Project Zero 2: Crimson Butterfly - never has a game created such a sense of dread. Truly amazing stuff for it's day.

Dead space in my cinema room. Projector and surround sound. Awesome.

Silent Hill on the PS1

Condemned 2 - The Bear

What's scary about this when you're playing is that you don't really know what's going to happen or which way to go - cue panic! Graphics were pretty decent for their time too (looks a bit naff now)

Other one which sticks out is more obvious - Slenderman.

No, I'm not a tiny baby so computer games don't scare me. Are you all afraid of women too? Or 'females' as PH calls them.

Agree, and resident evil on ps1 too, you couldn't hardly see anything on silent hill which just added to the suspense.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I reckon it's about as terrifying as a non-VR video game can get, play it at night with headphones for added effect.


Personally, I find any game where your character is armed, whether that's with guns or melee weapons, not particularly scary. I find that there's little sense of fear if you know you can attack anything that you come across. That's not to say I didn't enjoy stuff like the Metro games, Dead Space etc, I just didn't find them that scary as that sense of peril you have when you're unarmed just isn't there.

Resident evil, I was 3 when it first came out must have been about 6 when I sneaked into my cousins room to play it. It terrified the living daylights out of me.

There was a level in thief where you sneak in a old insane asylum and there creatures lurking,very atmospheric and freaky.

F.e.a.r freaked me out at times as well.

Despite not being scary I remember playing splinter cell online in the abandoned orphanage level. It was pretty eerie and if you played as a merc it was first person so you would only get a glimpse of a splinter cell agent sprinting by you,made me jump every time

Phantasmagoria

Bought for 'me' when I was 9-10 by my dad, still not a clue what he was thinking.

Just got both these for 4.99 in the steam sale. Cant wait to get into them. Also ended up with dead island. Just because I enjoy killing zombies and im sure itll be a while until another dying light.

Without a doubt..

System Shock 2.

[Gretchen]

Agree with Resident Evil and Silent Hill on PS1. I remember sitting up all night playing these with my ex. The haunting music box score from Silent Hill was fantastic. Have the score for the game somewhere.
