When I played fear till the half of the game, I quit coz I couldn't sleep at night and kept on hugging my blanket and wrapped in it and kept on murmuring the words "The walls they speak..." I was sent on therapy to recover... Never again will I play that game :( I still kept my copy tho...

FEAR is a deffinate.
Play it once, then leave it about 6 months. That way, you'll spend the whole time thinking, 'I'm sure it was here that xxxx jumped out at me.' The anticipation makes it much worse the second time. If you play through it too soon after, you'll remember it all and it won't be scary at all.

There is a spot where you have to fight zombies/discarded carcasses in something that looks like a sewer. That part was freaky for me.

Alien vs Predator! The campaign with marines. I still hate this sound of the motion detector!

Damn right!

And when those facehuggers get you and that loud scream it makes when its on you, its even worse when you can't see it in the dark!

Doom has given me a scare once, ive got condemned 2 here for the xbox, but ive never played it, doesn't appeal to me enough to play it. don't know why i bought it,

can't play it now, my 360 has the E-74 RROD error.

Didn't even bother playing Doom 3 recently. When I was younger I use to cheat in games that were too scary or well, I cheated in every game :D I couldn't even play D3 with Cheats on as I was too scared even though I was invincible, that game still makes me cry ;[

I'm surprised no one mentioned Half Life.

Half Life 1 Used to scare me when I was really young. Now not at all but 2 and EP1 got me real good. I remember one time where your waiting for the elevator to get down and your battling zombies in the dark. That shit scared me.

S.T.A.L.k.E.R also gave me its moments.

Stalker with Oblivion Lost is really cool. I had a friend over while I was in the Garbage and I was killing some psuedodogs there, and he thought they were kind of scary. As fortune would have it, as I got to the bar, I heard the high-pitched squeal before the controller attacks but I didn't get the wind tunnel effect. I didn't actually get attacked because he was on the other side of the building. As I got closer I got the wind tunnel effect. I finally saw him and let him mindrape me a little bit so my friend could see what happens when you mess with controllers... and then I blasted him with a grenade. :)

Realms of the haunting. Old game. Dont know if people remember this game story short...you play a guy in the 90's era your father a pastor disappear. You must go through many mazes and fights to win. It was a mix of doom first person style fighting, Myst for enigma and maze parts and gathering of magicals items and solving problems and having interaction with caracthers with multiple choice to answers. It was freak soemtimes it appear by screaming and shooting with guns and magic wands plus running like hell because you must gather puzzles parts same tiem a demon runs on your tail.

Hey guys i found this useful link look at it!!!
