play Fear 2. the part where you have to go into some underground railway station after your chopper crashes. FEAR is not scary at all. run & gun.

lol @ syd meyers haunting

I have played undying but not completed.

Played another one scary game with random castle generation, means you will not find same rooms and things at the same place everytime you start the game.
Nosfaratu: The Wrath of Malachi

Voted for Amnesia: The Dark Descent. After it, nothing else frightens. Don't want to remember it also. Regarding other games, Condemned was much more frightening than FEAR. I have completed FEAR mostly playing in evening.

One game missing from the list is Alan Wake. Also the original Alone in the Dark. Although I have played neither.

My vote goes for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth but Dead Space FEAR, Amensia and Silent Hill series is scary as well and there's two great scary game missing from the list one is Undying and another is Nosferatu - which I consider to be the most scariest and best game of all time ;-)

All ps2 users should agree with fatal frame 2 as the most scariest game of all time. Typical japanese horror at its best.

Seems like Amnesia Dark Descent is getting the universal vote for the scariest game.

I've not palyed Amnesia; saw the trailer and gameplay video. Even that was scary.

But I would like to vote for "Undying" which is not in the list. I still remember falling from my chair in shock and surprise!

Why isn't Resident Evil 1 on that list? The atmospheric music made it more creepy than it was supposed to.

Some more games which should be in the list as well : Doom 3, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 3 and Jericho.

I don't know why and how, but I never really felt Doom 3 to be scary. Might be the boring gameplay. :banghead:

Nice list faun :smile:. I have played some ps2 horror flicks like haunting ground ,clock tower 3, resident evil series etc. They are all brilliant. Haunting ground is considered one of the first games to incorporate 2nd character AI in form of a dog. You can control its actions by giving orders in game.
