Ah, my area of expertise

I simply love Clock Tower, especially the first for playstation and Clock Tower 3. I feel they're the most user friendly of the bunch Although Clock Tower 1 PSX also has its share of screwing the player over in unpredictable ways. It's all part of the charm though. I'll be the first in line whenever Clock Tower 4 is released

Haunting Ground. This game has some seriously creepy parts. There's a closet where you can hide from the creepy woman with the glass shard as a weapon, and almost every time the closet will be able to hide in, but every once in a while, she will already be inside the closet. I would just die if that happened to me, and not in the game mind you. This game was very nice, but not quite Clock Tower.

Resident Evil is great fun, but it hasn't really been horror since Resident Evil 3. RE4 and RE5 are too action orientated and linear. They're great in their own way and I really enjoy them, but they're not really what the series started out to be. I'd love to see a game more like Code Veronica X or the gamecube games, REmake and zero. I'd also love to see an Outbreak game that actually functioned and didn't have unbearable loading times.

Silent Hill is awesome like many people have mentioned before me, the only thing I have to add is that SH4 and SH5 are getting too much pepper, they were both very nice games imho, even if they were a bit different from the first three. I think especially SH5 had a very nice story and one of the moments that have creeped me out the most in the series. SH5 ending spoilerWhen we see the mayor digging around in the cemetary. I figured he was digging something up and didn't think it was relevant exactly what, and it didn't seem the main character cared very much either. When we later find out he was burying his own son alive it sent shivers down my spine especially because we were able to walk freely nearby him while he did just that. Also, the fighting in SH4 and 5 were really nice. I know fighting never was an important part of the series, but have you tried playing the first three lately? I played them all before the summer and I found myself mostly running away from everything. It's nearly impossible to hit the birds in SH1 and in SH3 it's impossible to kill almost anything. I suppose that adds to the feeling of paranoia somehow, though. They're all great games really.

Obscure is flawed in many ways. The action part can be way too hard sometimes, and you die too easily, which is annoying because the game doesn't stop if you die, it just continues without that person. It is however 2 player, which is extremely rare in survival horror. It's an awesome thing to experience this genre with someone else. Obscure 2 I haven't tried much, I played the prologue with my sister but we just died and got lost all the time so we gave up and never tried it again. I do want to pick it up again though.

Fatal Frame/Project Zero. Ugh, this just never did the trick for me. It's dark and I got lost all the time because every hallway looked the same. I might pick it up eventually, but it's going to take a lot of effort xD

Forbidden Siren. I've only tried the first one, and while the beginning was very thrilling, especially the notebook parts, it was just a bit too hard for me. Not sure how old I was when I played it, but I should've been old enough to be able to deal with hard games. It's annoying when you get shot just once and you die from it. Sure, it's realistic, but it's annoying. Especially when you don't even know who shot you. Stupid sniper zombies!

Alone in the Dark. They did too release one for console! new nightmare. This is the only AitD game I've finished! it might possibly be the longest game too, so that's weird. Very fun game and challenging too, not too hard and not too easy. I also enjoyed the dark areas being dangerous and the light areas being safe. It made me quite scared to run through dark corridors with my flashlight broken.

Rule of Rose. I want to play this game! Apparently it's very disturbing and never even got released in Norway and many other countries. I found it on french amazon, so I might buy it there eventually.

Condemned is a game I was quite surprised with. Sure, it got repetitive and sometimes there was just hallway after hallway, but the AI of the enemies really made this game. Enemies that snuck around, ran away from you, hid in places until you were close enough to get. I'm not used to smart enemies! they caught me off guard. The Saw game was not nearly as bad as I thought too. Some of the puzzles are really clever and definitely made me feel good when I solved them. However that was all ruined by how horribly repetitive this game is with inferior obnoxious puzzles, such as fixing fuse boxes, making gears fit and putting pipes together. It got annoying to have to do one or the other every 10th minute or so, especially because these types of puzzles are puzzles we've all seen and done in games hundreds of times already. It just seemed like a cheap way to lengthen the game.
