Spend Halloween in front of your PC, playing these 5 scary 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.
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.
StuffKit: "Good horror games must make you scared sometimes. Here is the list of the top ten scariest games which you have to play at 2AM with the lights off."
Listen...
I love Silent Hill 2. Really. It's one of the best games ever made.
Putting it ahead of Amnesia OR Fatal Frame II is a bit ridiculous though, don't you think?
I also would have left out Condemned, Dead Space, and Eternal Darkness. I love all three games, but scary? Nope.
im glad siren's on the top five at least. i agree that it is way scarier than dead space and fear. i know cause i finished both those games easily. for siren though, i stopped till chapter 5. the game is f-ed up and crap my pants scary!
I don't know why fear is on the list. It was a great game, but definitely not scary.
I shat myself at the locker part of Condemned. Also, I'd replace Dead Space with Resident Evil. The latter paved the way for DS.
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 wasn't really that scary
Where the F*** is the Resident Evil Remake?
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.
