im terrified.....

Penumbra, Jesus it was freaky ♥♥♥♥. I only played the tech-demo! cant wait for Penumbra Overture

Here.

Scary games aren't really my thing. Probably just Doom 2. =P

Doom 2? pfft!

Doom 1 & 2 rocked

With me I didn't know about the scope either, well not until my second play through, so whenever I saw one I'd either hide around the corner and use hit and run tactics, or shotgun it in the face... Hey it works with the stryker! Oh and RPG normally did the job. (Can you say overkill?)

Ugh. The Stryker. Hated that thing. I didn't kill it before it unfroze so I had to jump around the tunnel with minimal shotgun ammo, wearing it down.

And we used the RPG on that monk with the catapult.

- The-Masses

heh, when you have both the chicago typewriter and the infinite RPG, nothing is scary

Doom 3... but I started the game at midnight, in complete darkness, when no one else was in the house, and I don't often play scary games so... damn! This one point a dead body is flung at you and I was on edge the rest of the game.

small bump/necro but i have been away for a weeks time so i guess you people will forgive me

mine are

blood (the noises the zombies make made me freak out when i was 6-7 years old)
fear (more shock than anything)
and the HL2 zombies because they say something resembling "ARRRGGGH HJÆLP MIIIIG" which means "ARRRRGGGH HELP MEE" which i think is pretty scary. i dont play horror games because i am very scared of such games

Is 3 days considered necro?

I remember totally freaking out over Alone in the Dark 1, and I didn't really play it either because of that. I was a bit too young to play horror games when it came out. Fast forwarding to Doom 1, which was a huge rush especially on nightmare difficulty, but not really scary in the actual meaning. The next one was System Shock 2, which had me really panicking and desperate all through the game. Finally came Silent Hill 1, which was really scary played at night, in the dark, headphones on. I was very impressed with it on lots of levels, though obviously there was still a lot where it later got improved...

Since then I've tried some of the horror games out there, but they don't really have that impact anymore as they did when I was younger.

Now that's overkill! But yeah, it so much fun to mess around with those weapons.

On another note can any of you guys recommend a horror game that won't make me scream like an 8 year old?

doom 1-2. they are labeled as "horror shooters"

If you'll believe it, Clock Tower: First Fear for the SNES is way more scary than Clock Tower on the first PlayStation. The cheesy voice acting alone makes it seem more funny than scary.

So, if you want something that has cheesiness, some blood and shock, and point and click action, I'd suggest taking a look at the PlayStation 1 Clock Tower. A video walkthrough of it from YouTube with some of the moments I thought were good are below.

It might be a hard game to find, though.
