Hey, u all forgot abt Resident Evil.

When i played this game i was so scared that i directly pressed Alt+F4, in running game. This is very old game, i don't know if 2 or 3 is out or not.

Therefore i never watch horror movies or play these type of games.

Prey is what I'd recommend. Not horror, more like gross. You see people being killed in so many ways... like this guy who gets sharp rods pounded into their chests, then squished into kababs... thrown in fire pits... then they are used as food for the aliens... or they are mutated into enemies... all monsters are body parts of animals and humans fused together... the first time i played it it was gross, second was better.

I would say Biohazard also known as Resident Evil 4. Man Its so scary I wasn't able to sleep at night after playing it.:D And as for F.E.A.R I get dizzy each and every time I play it. Both of these are xtreme I say.

Silent Hill series (Silent Hill 2 is teh best)
Fatal Frame
S.T.A.L.K.E.R (whole game is a experience)
Condemned (melee psychopaths horror)
Nosferatu (old one but scary as hell)
F.E.A.R (not horror but creepy)

But to understand Silent Hill 2, one must be mature enough. No wonder Resident Evil is much popular among teens and kids.

I wish everyone could understand this game :(

Oye................bachha kise bolta hai...................:evil:

Leave alone kids or teens..................even I've seen some mature people(mature enough to be called mature) get scared playing undying..........

Though I put a condition while playing the game...................
Absolute Dark........
Full Sound...........
Alone in the Room..........
None should disturb him at-least for one hour........ ;)

That thing was not pointed towards you. I hope u will understand that.

And i said this in general, the context where the maturity applies is different here.

^^Painkiller is similar to Doom
Cold Fear was too shaky on boat, could hav been better

Nosferatshu
its Nosferatu and yeah its damn scary, the count dracula and other monsters, each are dealt with different weapons, no single weapon is good for every one

F.E.A.R (makes you remeber "The Grudge")
PoP- Warrior Within (Whenever Dahaka comes)

Also ther's this game on PS2 which I don't remember exactlybut was touted as most Scary game by Gamer TV at that time. It had a lonely girl evading a big retarded ogre like bald guy who thought the girl to be his doll. Girl roamed in a castle trying to evade him getting help at times from her German Shephard dog.

Got the name, its "Haunting Grounds" Anyone Remembers?
BTW a lot of games had their fair share of Scary moments like playing DMC 1 and DMC 2 for the first time made me to go to bathroom countless times(that was 4 years ago), Readying to fight Alma in Ninja Gaiden, Manhunt the Zoo level

Play Crysis. U will always be scared abt ur PC blowing up and u dying:D In horror games, ur virtual character dies but here u urself will be killed. Extreme challenge and its so scary to see that expensive rig blowing.

I will NOT recommend Call Of Cthulhu. Its so scary, you may die of heart failure if you are playing at night and at full volume.
So DONT play Call of Cthulhu.

Bioshock :I was really suprised by the amount of blood and gore in it.
Lots of blood,lots of gore,violence,half burnt bodies,half rotten dead bodies,and etc...
And shows all these with believability using one of the best graphics in games.
I was wondering y ESRB dint have problems with this game.I mean they like to create controversies like banning manhunt 2 etc.

Bioshock is not horror... its a psychological thriller. Play it at a dark room, full volume and base, or preferably with headphones, and you'll find yourself inside Rapture. And if you listen to all audio diaries in the game you can understand the full story... i love that game :)

Resident Evil 4 on PC :razz:
The Most Scary part is to aim you gun with the keyboard :mad:

Mouse-fix patches are available, but dont respond that well, the game is meant to be played with a gamepad.

Jul 4, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Doubt :: is resident evil even slightly playable with use of any patches or any other support files??
After seeing RS4 on GC,i was xited 2 install it but removed it after playing for 5 min :( .no patches were available then.anythin chngd yet??

To tell you the truth, I just got myself a gamepad yesterday & installed RE4 just to see if I could manage it on PC again.I now stand convinced that PS2 is the only platform on which this game is more enjoyable.This game on PC is seriously messed up.Even on a gamepad it's very difficult to get used to the camera angles.I had a ball of a time with this game on PS2 & quite frankly this is best of that platform.;)

^I have tried Silent Hill III & IV on the PC & quite frankly was not impressed at all.May be I didn't play it that long but it seemed very boring after sometime.Just opening doors & just walking around in weird areas.

Tried Obscure 2 on the PS2 & seems to be in almost the same league as the Silent Hill series.I'd still recommend Call Of Chtullu, Resident Evil IV & Doom III (with all lights off & with good quality headphones if possible).

^^Remember Silent Hill series is not an action survival game.

Its an ordinary human survival game, the protagonist is not an elite and react to the surrounding as a normal scared person will. So you felt it slow cuz you were looking for another RE or Doom 3 in this game. This is no head blasting zombie game.

Its the story that sets it apart from all other games, the music that adds stars to it. Its not monster scare its about ones psychological fears. You can see 7 different stories running parallel in Silent Hill 2, just that every other differs in interpretation.

Even how you play and the actions you do affects the ending drastically.

Some one said that the monsters were not actually monsters in the game. The good people were actually the ones. Another theory tells that it was all in mind of the main protagonist (refer Jacobs Ladder). Its deeper than what you thought. I was too mesmerized by the layers in the story. Even after playing the whole game I was searching for answers for incidents that were too obscure for me. Then another play-through linked up the missing bits.
Ethan_Hunt
Jul 6, 2008 at 1:25 PM
^Exactly my issue.I am more into fast paced survival horror.Rather than slow progressing ones.The only exception I have made is for Call of Chtullu which is the only psyco-horror which I found interesting with it's intriguing storyline.

Jul 10, 2008 at 11:37 AM
^^

There are 3 endings - good, bad, evil.

good - harvest 0 or 1 girls in entire game
bad - harvest more than 1 but not all
evil - harvest all and use all adam

you can watch all of them in youtube

bad and evil are almost same except the ending of the ending ( :p ) and good ending is quite sweet

I've finished Bioshock...........its a gr8 game...........
The adams are used for Gene upgrade which in turns help u get new powers........
And saving the little sisters and not saving them makes the story diff. I've saved all of them..........and in later part of the game they helped me find way to rayan and his frnd.......

Finished Bioshock today...really its a treat to the gamers...it has great elements of RPG...just play the game fully and u ll have just one word out "WOWWWW"....it is unique piece of art..awsome game..
and know wat Bioshock 2 is officially announced..but when u see the happy ending u ll get to know that we see oldage and all the Little(now grown up) sisters holding hand

The best part is u unknowingly decide how the game ends...happy, bad or evil...

System Shock 2 -
bioshock is called the 'spiritual' successor of SS2

When I first played the SS2 demo, I was so incredibly scared by the hybrids, especially those creepy voices. I was actually scared. I'm 29. I'm never scared. I can get a bit tense when watching a supposedly scary movie, but that's usually just due to "scary music" and sudden noises. When I played SS2, I was really really scared for the first time since I don't know when.
WAlkthrough (SPOILER WARNING!!!)
NOw this was exactly my reaction! I was really scred playing ss2.
The scary thing abt SS2 is that ammo is very limited, add respawning enemies and it gets on your nerves :shock:

YOu can find it on abandonware sites..
