Scariest Game Ever Played?

[clickynext]

Half-Life 2 isn't usually considered an extremely scary game, but the monsters in there scare the hell outta me. Guess it's something to do with phobias. I much more enjoy the fights with the compound.

I don't get how someone can get scared by a game. Yeah, I could see that if a monster attacks out of no where it could shock you a little bit, but come on. However, if we are going by shock factor it would have to be System Shock 2. A great game, but ruined by the fact that it's fscking annoying.

Zelda Ocarina of Time

Clive Barker's Undying is an awsome game and still looks good by todays game. Will definitely scare you

 

[clamum]

Doom 3

 

[mdchesne]

doom3, but i hear silent hill 4 is scary as ****

still, I can't play with headphones on Doom3 and that's
a first for any game I've played. Need speakers or no
sound at all, lol

Arcade - Space Fury, Chiller, Gorgar, Death Race.
C-64 - Friday the 13th, Maniac Mansion.
Probably many more. A lot of games were a little scary when I was younger. LOL.

Amiga - It Came From the Desert, played in the dark, running through my stereo. The Shadow of the Beast II intro. Moonstone, especially the intro. www.lemonamiga.com
PC - Half Life and Unreal were a little scary if played in the dark. Diablo.

Really? The only part of MM I jumped was when Edna was in the kitchen. Sometimes she was there, sometimes not.

I agree, Maniac Mansion was not scary... It was campy and humorus.

Thief 2 and Doom 3 exp. freak me right out at times. Only game to ever really get my heart pounding though was Syndicate Plus, micro-managing 4 dudes against 40 crazy, gauss-gun toting, lvl 3 armoured agents was always a herculean (sp?) effort.

You aren't the only one...Ravenholm took me a bit longer to get through because of that. I play my games with headphones on, and I know that makes a difference for me. I can't stand speakers for gaming...even if it means a less-scarier experience.

I still cannot play Doom 3 with headphones...gotta be no sound or have speakers with someone or a few friends with me.

When I was younger, Friday the 13th was scary... Jason would jump out and I'd be by myself and be freaked out. I haven't had that feeling since F.E.A.R (heh you can tell I don't play that many games). The hallway scene in slow-mo had my heart racing.

 

[hjo3]

Doom 3

 

[everman]

System Shock 2 as a whole. And Shalebridge Cradle wins best level ever.

 

[Xylitol]

Doom 3
I pissed myself and never played again
Waste of money... :|
Been tryin to sell it since

Sorry, wasn't too sure on that one. I was thinking it was but maybe not. I don't remember too much about it since it's been 17-18 years for me.

 

[quakefiend420]

resident evil and doom 3 are the scariest games i can remember playing

 

[no0b]

pong

 

[effee]

d3

 

[Omegachi]

silent hill and fatal frame

 

[Tylanner]

doom 2

 

[jiwq]

fatal frame 2... the part when you're looking thru some barred windows then a kid pops up right in front of you (bonus points if you take a pic of him, assuming you're still holding on to the controller)
