October Distress Fest: Logan’s Top 5 Horror Games

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.

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.

DerekFlint0073874d ago

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.

snipab8t3873d ago

You think that's bad? Imagine my fear when I realized I paid $60 for Resident Evil Raccoon City :0

AnotherProGamer3873d ago

Slender wasn't really that scary

snipab8t3873d ago

It is when you're drunk at like 3am.

Plagasx3873d ago

Where the F*** is the Resident Evil Remake?

dillhole3873d ago

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.

WeAreLegion3873d ago

Yeah, but films aren't as scary as games. Games can still scare me. No movie even sort of scares me.

Letros4605d ago

Stalker is missing, typical bad list.

IrishAssa4605d ago

Yeah Stalker has some scary parts that far surpass almost every game on the list too

arnyftw4605d ago

Frightening? Lol left 4 dead 2 isnt frightening, its boring, I preferred l4d1

iNcRiMiNaTi4605d ago

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.
