Horror Games

[BumblebeeCody]

I either really like a horror game, or really despise it.

I really like horror games that have it as a theme and not the mechanic. Dead Space for example has horrific scenes, dark symbolism and an awesome story. Being that it's in space you get that sense of being alone and that if you weren't alone, you're most likely standing next to a necromorph.

Slender on the hand isn't scary and looks like it's made in paint....

Some of the best I've played:
RE 1, 2, 3 and 4: But I was young so it was scary then, now it's laughable.
Silent Hill 1 and 2. I was young then but those games still have last after all these years. Better than RE
Condemned: Holy hell...Barts Department store after these years still burned into my head. D:
Fatal Frame/Project Zero (here in EU): Brilliant game mechanic that forces you to face the ghosts and take a picture of them.
Dead Space 1 and 2: One of the most well crafted games I've played this generation with amazing story telling.
