Favorite Horror Games?

I voted F.E.A.R. because as much as I love games like Silent Hill, F.E.A.R. was the only game to explicitly give me nightmares. I know the gimmicks it uses doesn't work on some people, but it did for me. The mixture of supernatural and the fear of being alone against soldiers and otherworldly beings was done really well.

You now have twenty more brownie points for knowing what F.E.A.R. is, and a thirty brownie point bonus for enjoying it.

Thank you, thank you, I'll take points where I can get them! It's funny though because when I first saw the thread I came in and expected to be the only one to say F.E.A.R. because in my experience talking to people, either they haven't played it or they didn't think it was that scary. I was surprised someone else voted for it and then I saw who made the thread and saw your avatar and thought "I can get along with this person."

I will put a bit of a damper on the F.E.A.R. love though by saying that as much as I love the first the rest aren't really up to par for me. The second was pretty decent, kind of a lesser version but still mildly scary, and F.3.A.R. wasn't even scary... it's like they decided to just eliminate the fear and focus on making a FPS. Still a solid game but nothing like the first at all.
