this thread is now about x-2
FFX-2 was indeed a horror, but in a very different sense.Originally Posted by bipper

Silent Hill is of course the obvious answer with SH3 being the creepiest, most wacked out, screw with your head and make you sleep with the lights on for a year game in the series. Fatal Frame gets a lot of recommendations. I wasn't overly impressed with the first one, but the second which I've yet to play seems to get the creep factor praise. I constantly look for it when I go to EB to see if they have a used copy, but they never do.
I was very disappointed with Project Zero/Fatal Frame, I've played all three of them but I just found them very boring. Just endless walking around in dark similar looking hallways. Not too fond of the whole camera thing either.
I very much recommend Silent Hill and Clock Tower, though. However not Clock Tower 2: Ghost Head.
Ah, yes. Avoid!

I was just playing Silent Hill 2 last night in the middle of the night with the lights off and it's creepy. Fatal Frame 2 is far creepier though. I'm literally terrified when I play the games to the point of jumping up screamng and sending my controller flying. I love it! Silent Hill and Fatal Frame are awesome. Looking forward to Clock Tower.

Awww dont be so harsh on Clock Tower 2 guys. Its a bad game but it had its moments, worth playing if your die hard Clock Tower 1 and 3 fan. Even if the game had a swish cheese of a plot and pretty bad gameplay. It was still freaky in spots. And 12 different endings is impressive.
Me too!I lol'd.
Anywho...
Resident Evil is good, maybe even Darkwatch, maybe.
Resi 1 was decent when it first came out for its creep factor...
The key being "when it first came out."
The remake on Gamecube still is very tense, but that's mostly in expectation of something jumping out at you. It's low on truly disturbing events.
I'd say stick to the Silent Hills, Fatal Frames and Clock Towers (though I've never played the latter two series, I've heard a lot about them).
Mario. Any of them.=D Viva Sonic!
Other than that, minesweeper. I'm still getting nightmares from the thought of pressing the wrong button.

Downloaded these games yesterday and played the first one. Pretty cool game, hoping the others are equally good.Clock Tower is fantastic.
But I'd highly recommend the Chzo Mythos for two reasons. One, the games are pretty small (filewise) and free to download. Two, they are very scary.
In play order...
5 Days a Stranger
7 Days a Skeptic
Trilby's Notes
6 Days a SacrificeI took a sneak peek at the second and the whole space thing looked kinda unappealing. Old manors plz.
Silent Hill never seems to fail for me. I really need to try Fatal Frame...
Silent Hill all the way. has horror in many different types of levels.
obscure isnt that scary but i havnt ever played on any other horor games so i dunno if its classed as 'scary' but it freeked me out anyway
