The Horror/Whatever genre has changed a lot since then and I suppose different people will react differently to stuff that's about now and to what was around back in the day. Saying that, I still haven't completed Dead Space yet and the Silent Hill series still shits me up now in the same way it did years ago.

[spoiler]Can I also say the Rasklapanje in RE6 creep me out and remind me of the Regenerators (aka in my world "The Heavy Breathers.") Which are by far, the scariest enemy in the RE-verse. Not only do they actually scare me, but they sound like they're making a dirty phone call.[/spoiler]

True true. Now I don't find them scary and I never really have. When i was younger yeah. But I also played Silent Hill 1 and that was honestly terrifying. I still think Silent Hill 1 can stand the test of time as opposed to RE1, 2 and 3.

The thing about the Resident Evil games is that you're a well equipped agent of S.T.A.R.S or, have had S.T.A.R.S training and can handle themselves. Compared to Silent Hill 1, you're a dad on the search for his missing daughter with a straight forward plot and forces you into going down that dark school corridor. The radio kicks in and "now where do I look"? A true masterpiece.

Dead Space is definitley your game. It's Resident Evil now but with a stronger narrative, incredible graphics and top notch controls. The first games brings you into the Universe and introduces the characters well (Apart from Issac). Dead Space 2 throws you back into that game with Issac now having a personality (a voice) but also pushes a new story forward. Dead Space is easily one of the best game series I've played this gen.

@Your spoiler,
I think you ruined the awesomeoness of the Regenerators and Iron Maidens for me now! XD Now when I play it, I'll keep thinking of a creepy person breathing down the phone.
