I know this is gonna sound a little silly but i'd hands down have to say the scariest game i ever played was ecco the dolphin on dreamcast, mainly becausce my worst fear is being deep down in the ocean and not being able to see but a foot or so in front of you then a giant shark or whatever coming out of nowhere especially in the game everything was so cloudy I beat the first level and the second scared me so bad i had to sell the game also water on any game scares me zelda water temple ( over came my fear for zelda though) metal gear solid when i first played it not knowing what was in there and finally i was actually scared of the shark in banjo kazooie, but yeah ecco the dolphin makes silent hill look like animal crossing lol

This is such a funny thread but i cant remember i think it was when i was about 6 and playin harry potter PC and voldemort just appeared out of nowhere and made a scary sound like a mutant screaming and i died.... I WAS 6 OK?! Thats the only time i remember gettin scared right now... Maybe Maken Sheio Demon Sword.. I dont know.. Ive never played final fantasy but how meny are there?!

Resident Evil. I'd bet there's only a few people who haven't nearly crapped themselves playing that game, lol Stupid dogs..

heh, I know this sounds kind of silly but the scariest bit in a game that i've experienced was probably (i was 7 at this time) and i was plaing super mario 64 and whenever bowser laughed and it was dark i felt tense or that staircase, dugadegadugadegudugadegadudge HAHAHAHAHA!

couple of the scariest games i've played:

eternal darkness [FREAKY GAME! i recommend playing it if you want to see some crazy stuff]

Resident evil [already mentioned above]

It was Resident evil 4...

I had just climbed a hill and looked out to a lake quickly noticing two guys in a boat, throwing what I could only assume was a body. Something stirred in the water. I pumped my shotgun and ran down the hill. Keeping a look out for trip wires and bear traps. At the bottom of the hill was a small wooden hut barely holding it's self together, scanning the area for any sign of movement as I went. I had learnt now, whatever moves shoot it! After searching the hut and not finding much food I stumbled out onto a wooden deck, which reached out slightly into the lake. A boat was tied, excellent. Out the corner of my eye I see fish, food! I ran to the edge and pull out my pistol firing at the fish, need food. I miss, I pull out my shotgun. BAM, a sudden force shot out of the lake, pulling back in shock I raised my shotgun and shot my face off as the beast of the lake engulfed me, sinking back into the depths of his murky home.

I was playing night trap and it was totally giving me a chub...and my mom walked in, it scared the hell out of me. I had to hide my chub pretty quick.

lol when i was playing doom 3 it creeped me out a lil like 2 AM in the morning my speakers hooked up to my xbx on surround in my DARK room yeahh it was great!

some scary games I have played would be doom 3 and condemmed.

i was going to post this exact part of Eternal Darkness! two of my friends were watching me play and it got to that scene...we all jumped and screamed out loud like girls...HA funny stuff. i loved that game.

My scariest game was Zelda Majora's Mask.

I was alone in the house and it was dark, and I was in the creepy well. I had just finished defeating many enemies in a particularly scary room and was in a hall. I figured the game was giving me a break and I was so happy as I walked slowly to the other side. Then all of a sudden A GIANT BLACK HAND drops down and picks me up and takes me to the start of the level. I nearly had a heart attack and I couldn't play again for months.

When I finally gathered the courage (and the strategy guide) to finish the level, I made it through and I rejoiced at finding the ladder that takes you to the castle. Then all of a sudden this loud trumpet music starts up and frightens the heck out of me.

Majora's Mask has some creepy stuff in it, like Redeads, Wallmasters, the whole fourth area and the Happy Mask guy (check out his expression when he finds out you lost his mask).

Well I have to say Silent Hill its the only game I wouldent play in the dark, it just gives me the goosebumps lol. also I think the 1st one was the best

I was playing System Shock 2, and I was really into the game and I was at a corner of a wall in a lobby and i heard the aliens over-turning things looking for me and all I had was a wrench. Then all of a sudden my Dad come up from behind me in the pitch black 3:00 in the morn'. I turned around looked at him and let out the loudest and longest yell I have ever to date. That SOB scared me good god dammit!





And another game F.E.A.R. just had me on edge the entire 10 hours of game play.

Glad to see iam not the only one.

As soon as I saw this thread I did a quick search on "Eternal Darkness" to find this post, I knew it! That moment was quite scary.

When I was younger, 8 or 9, I started playing Half-Life. I had no idea what the game actually was and when it all goes haywire and aliens start popping out of nowhere I got reasonably scared.
Also Silent Hill 2 on the PS2 was one damn scary game. You would be wondering around the town at night and it would be misty so you wouldn't be able to see really far. Occationally you would see a lurching figure in the mist... scary

Resident Evil: (my first survival horror)

1)The part when crows break the window I iwll never forget that scare

2) The part with the sharks (I got all tense trying to run)

3) When my lockpick with Jill broke (this only happens in the first RE version for the PS1)

4)Fighting against the tyrant can be a scary feeling since he walks so slow it makes you feel like you are on a slasher movie lol

Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly

1)A part when you are walking on one of those houses of the haunted village and you pass right up a corner (with a weird angle) and first thing you see when the angle changes is this girl (a la "The Ring") Just in front of you all of a sudden...I even dropped my controller to the floor (I was playing at 2am with a giant pair of headphones with a nice amount of volume power) you can imagine how I felt for a few seconds...

2)The part that you hide on a cabinet and there is this kid (a ghost like in the grudge movie) just kneeling beside you...


Silent Hill 2:

The part when you are in some sort of a Jail and you hear that Pyramid head is walking in the upper floor and you know you have to go trough there and when you do...there is no PH in sight but you hear his footsteps...pretty creepy though he never shows up on that part

Silent Hill 3:

The subway part when you look for the guy that killed himself on that subway station the music and atmosphere get hectic with monsters and stuff it was all tense as hell...

Silent Hill 4: The room

1)The Jail part where those monsters (a big bulky body with baby heads) just point at your for a few seconds then they dash toward you. it makes you desperate...

2)The hospital part when you enter the surgery room and there us this giant deformed weird monster that appears out of nowhere...It creep m out so I hacked it so fast it didint touched me lol

Clock Tower (Snes)

-When you are hiding in a room and Ms barrows is going to enter giving you a few seconds to look for some place to hide or look for a weapon. That game even though with side scrolling graphics can be really scary (the lack of music make this eerie atmosphere)

Yes I am a big Survival Horror fan

Has no one played F.E.A.R.?

That game is so scary, its so cinematic it draws you and just freaks the shit out of me!

Turn the sound up.
