What games are out there that put the creeps into you? Any games, new or old... Music, scenes, graphics...anytihng that makes it a game worth playing in the dark...

 

Dead Space was a great game. It wasn't really the "scare" as much as the theme and sense of being alone with no one else around to help.

 

+1 to Dead Space for environment and atmosphere, pun sort of intended.

Also Resident Evil Code Veronica had great atmosphere too.

Doom 3 was jump type scary.

 

Doom 3

 

F.E.A.R. creeped me out.

 

one of my coworkers was freaked out by the Fatal Frame series

 

lmao kinda stupid but...
the metroid games always got to me. the eery music/suspense lmao
i think im the only one though

 

Super Mario Bros., because I could never beat it.

 

^

i could never beat super mario 2.

 

bioshock... damn little girls freak me the fuck out

 

playing in pure darkness with the sound blasting on 5.1 surround= pooped pants.
i could barely beat re4, i had to turn on the lights and turn down the sound a few times
but left 4 dead was pretty damn freaky when i first played it, fatal frame scared the poop out of me, the grudge for wii is really damn scary in the first mention atmosphere.

 

I bought Fear 2 because I thought it was going to be scary. It made me jump once but I let my buddy borrow it and he was afraid to play at night by himself in his basement. LOL!

 

I don't play scary games anymore... but when I did... the 7.1 surround sound system would just add to the freaky factor.


she creep'd me out too.

 

All of the Dooms

 

Doom 3. I only really play games at night and have yet to finish this game because of it. I last about an hour then have to stop before I have a heart attack.

 

Silent Hill

 

Soul Reaver

 

some indie game called penumbra

Condemned 1 and 2

 

I have Dead Space and have not yet ripped it out from its packaging. But, from what I read, it's a gem...

To be honest, most of the games listed above have not really freaked me out. I will however throw in my vote for scariest game ever: Aliens vs. Predator (PC game released in 1999). Play it on the human campaign with the soundtrack...

This game had me shaking.

 

You lasted longer then me haha, I only lasted about 30min then I turned the game off and uninstalled it from my computer.

Dead Space was pretty scary for me too, but when you're playing it at 2am with a bunch of friends screaming.. that doesn't help

 

when i was little resident evil scared me shitless..even the cover bothered me

 

If this is the game where it starts and it is all foggy and creepy - then yea, this scared the crap out of me - I returned it to BB the next day

 

I didn't play too many but resident evil scared me when I was younger... not so much anymore...

FEAR was a creepy game, haven't had time to get it yet...

 

The RE games are alright for a couple of little scares here and there...but, honestly, nothing that makes you break into cold sweat.

AvP was just absolutely intense fear. Nothing like getting thrown into a map where the lighting has almost gone (with the exception of an emergency strobe light off in the distance) and just you, the poor Marine, with his machine gun and your portable wrist motion detector (from 1986's movie, Aliens).

You'll be happily marching along and the eerie music stops...and your motion detector starts to beep because something is near and yet, you can't see it.




I fawking hated the facehuggers...and more than anything, did I wish to trade my weaponry in for some lighting.

 

Did you ever play Doom 3? Pretty much the same thing, walking down a dark hallway with a very dim light. Only difference is, you didn't get the motion detector, just a freaky alien dude jumps right ontop of you..

Fuck that game....

 

Yep...finished it twice. I think Doom 3 was a terrific game...but, it just didn't scare the bejeebus outta me like AvP.

I think the difference in AvP is that facehuggers are instant death. And the Xenomorphs are freaking fast. You don't really hear them...and they don't kinda stumble around after you...

They sprint.


And the orchestral score for AvP also was superbly done for the game. I know it's a really old game...but, if you can find a copy, I urge you to try it out. Play it on the Marine campaign. You can use the other 2 races too, but their campaigns are more evil fun as you're the stalker/hunter.

 

Ill have to see if I can find AvP..

I still have not beat Doom 3...

scariest game evar.

 

Manhunt

 

Yeah Silent Hill (the first one) and Dead Space are cool. It's awesome when you have all the lights turned out, only the glow of the TV, and you have the volume cranked. Good stuff, imo.

Resident Evil games are mostly scary just because of moments where zombies bust out or jump out suddenly, makes your heart skip a couple beats. Kind of cheap scares, imo. However when I played Resident Evil 4 way back when, I'd get scared shitless when that villager with the sack over his head came up and decapitated you with the chainsaw. The scream he made + what he was doing...

Anyone ever play Eternal Darkness for Gamecube? That game had its moments. The sanity effects were pretty lame at times, though. However I swear to god I'm still afraid to go in the master bathroom in the mansion...

 

eternal darkness' famed "Bathroom scene" is one of the scarriest game moments of all time

and resident evil 2 "interrorgation room" especially since i guess it would happen but then just after i thought it wouldnt BAM!!

 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Oblivion is on sale for $5 on Steam right now. Sale only lasts a few days. This was a pretty freaky and cutting edge game when it came out in 2007.

 

Resident Evil 1 when I was younger in the dark. Those hunters jumping around the corner as the screen panned! Freaked me out! I haven't been freaked out on a game since.

 

Me neither / thread lol

I'm still stuck in the level just before you go to hell

I'll add Silent Hill 2 when you faceoff with the Pyramid head dude...

Each time he showed up, I felt my skin crawl

Dude I beat the game with the Predator & the Alien mode but the Human...hell nawh

I tried it but didn't last a few mins.

I like to play on the hardest setting so I can punish myself for some reason. But that game is one for the history books as the scariest game in a decade...I wonder what it would be like trying to play it now

(haven't touched it in years lol)

 

Silent Hill for sure. At my grandfathers house which was creepy enough with no light. The static radio going nuts when someone would creep on you.

RE2 used to freak me out when the tall zombie guy would just bust through walls popping out of nowhere.

 

Well, playing the game as the Predator or Alien is kinda "easy"...because well, you're pretty much the hunter.

As a Marine...well, yeah...you were the prey. I still at the "free underwear" offer the game came with because they were so sure you'd your pants...



And yeah...hands down THE scariest game I've ever played (over Doom 3, Resident Evil games, Silent Hill, F.E.A.R., etc. etc.). Nothing comes close to the mood, tension, and just downright dread you get playing as a Marine...

 

i remember playing Gears of war on my brothers big screen the first time it came out....i shatted my self haha seriously, 5.1 surroudn on a 1080i/p screen. hahaha, we were buzzed it was after a new years party, and it was teh first tiem i drank red bull, i drank 6 cans straight hahah

they said, i was running around in circles and they made a stupid joke because my character was facing a wall, adn they were like just because i dont see the enemy doesnt mean they dotn see me hahhaha

good times man good times

 

GoW is scary...? Wow, you'll never make it through some of the other games mentioned in here then...
