Games that have actually spooked you..?

[Nintendo]

F.E.A.R.


That is all.

Agreed. My friend decided to play this to test out his new surround sound setup for the PC. The sound of cans and pots being knocked over in the background makes you seriously paranoid.

Yeah, I think paranoia effects or really creepy sound effects can make games even more frightening.

Eternal Darkness on GameCube had some wonderful sanity/paranoia tricks to try to spook the player.

First game I played that scared the hell out of me was Dungeons of Daggorath for the TRS-80 Color Computer.. the sound effect and the characters heartbeat racing and how monsters could just sneak up on you made for a scary game..

"frankie goes to hollywood" on the Spectrum when you first find the dead body, in which, up to that point, is quite light hearted and full of silly mini games.


Very unexpected for a small child (as I was at the time) and I remember me and my friend screaming like girls.

To heighten spooky or creep gaming experiences I suggest we all switch the lights off.

Haunting Ground on PS2.


Seriously having to hide under the bed while the monster looks for you is extremely unnerving. The whole game is super creeepy ...

Siren was pretty wicked!

hum... I remember now... Tomb Raider 1... the T-Rex event

 

[Nintendo]

Oops, I forgot to mention that Dead Space mobile is pretty darn scary. :wacko:

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines


Got a spookhouse level that still scares me after playing the part several times.

 

[Nintendo]

Speaking of which...Vampire Rain: Altered Species was such a crappy game, but it sure scared the bejebus out of me.


Weird game too, as it was half stealth-half survival horror.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Luigis mansion because of the music actually scary ? Fine Enternal Darkness not because of the game but because I was going to take it out to show my friend and it was gone still haven't found it
