Well I havent played a game that has been able to scare yet but if I had to put my money on some scary games then it would be F.E.A.R, Doom III and the Silent Hill series.

Then try a brief session of four hours or so of F.E.A.R 2 from third stage at 11 P.M to 3 A.M alone at home switch of your room's lights put on a good 5.1 channel gaming headphones take its volume to last bearable level change your PC monitor with your 42" full HD LCD TV five feet away from you and set LCD's mid point at your strait eye sight level set full eye candy on from the game's graphics settings. Although it will not frighten you but you can feel your heart beat going up a little.

Call of Cthulhu for the feel. Fear 1/2 is lame (wrt horror, other things are cool)

So majority among us here voting for F.E.A.R. So I think title of the best horror game safely can be given to it.

Of all the games mentioned above only call of cthulu was able to really scare , it was also a difficult game to complete with an interesting story . Anyway the game graphics for todays standard is outdated .

well,don't know whether it should come in horror game or not...but Gears of war made my heart beat very fast several times.
& no doubt doom 3 is the most horrifying game till now.
FEAR and FEAR 2 suks big time!

^^Silent Hill 2 is psychological and emotional nightmare. While Silent Hill 3 comes second to it because of Heather and her witty dialogs though at the end it turns into a bleak stygian atmosphere you will dread for your life :D

That mirror part is damn scary too :D

one best scary ( survival horror ) game you ( I mean all of you ) must try is Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - this game is way more scary than any other survival horror game in FPS style and in this game you have fight ( not run and gun style ) real tight, keep your strategies right, flee away when necessary, always keep handful of supplies, make sure you close all the doors behind you and stay out of the sight of your enemies as much as possible.

Try this out asap - you guys will love this one.
