"You know that feeling you sometimes get in an FPS, the one where you've run out of ammo completely and are creeping around corridors praying to the gaming Gods that there's no monsters around the next corner? Horrible isn't it. Not horrible in a bad way mind you, just horrible in a 'damn, this is scary, I'm going to scream if something moves' kind of way. Often that tantalising slice of tension is soon interrupted by the appearance of fresh ammo followed by a healthy dose of blasting to ease your nerves, but the guys at Swedish developers Frictional Games have taken things a step further and built an entire game around the idea of being unarmed, defenceless and scared."
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Mentions of spooky ghosts and creatures of the night hang in the air, and unknown horrors lurk around every corner.
Fear is one of the best adrenaline rushes you can experience.
Horror is a mixed bag, and there is a very thin line between games that try too hard to scare you, and games that don’t try hard enough.
Spend Halloween in front of your PC, playing these 5 scary games.
I know horror is subjective, but this is quite a .... strange selection of titles here. It seems a bit unfair to limit it to just 5 games.
0ne of the scariest games i have played recently is without a doubt Resident Evil 6.
I was terrified that i had wasted £40 on a crap game.
Spookily i waas correct.
Slender is scary for the first few minutes. Then you see the guy and it kinda kills it. It's hard to be realistically scared in a game where you get to respawn each time you die. The reason films successfully achieve horror is that you connect with the characters and once they're dead, they're dead.
If you get bored in normal Halloween activities, try playing some frightening video games!
List of horror games....not scary games, there 2 games I would consider scary on that list.
Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil 5? Really?
Where's Fatal Frame or Siren? Or since they have Doom 3 take it back to Silent Hill or something.
