i havent played fear yet..last scary game that i played was silent hill origins on the psp..

[koolaidparty]

I have to say Silent Hill has made some of the scariest sounds I've ever encountered. Doom 3 is pretty close too.

I think the most scariest game I've ever played though is FEAR. For me. The scenes and lights flickering, just the atmosphere is crazy and keeps me on the edge of my seat.

I've played quite a few horror games over the years, and I have to say it's a toss up between the Resident Evil 1 remake for Gamecube, Silent Hill 2 - 4, and Fatal Frame 2. Resident Evil 3 isn't too shabby on the scare factor either.

It's interesting to compare quality vs quantity.

Resident Evil 5 is a much bigger game than L4D. Takes about 10 hours to beat your first time. More levels. More weapons. More modes. More content. Many things to come back for and unlock. I got a good 60 hours of total game play on RE5 before I moved on.

Left 4 Dead focuses on making just the gameplay experience itself and the fact it technically changes everytime you play the crux of the game. No messing around with unlockables and upgrades or some kind of currency/experience point system. Just go. Fewer extremely well-designed gameplay elements instead of the standard amount of passable ones.

L4D came out November 08. Resident Evil 5 came out March 09. I'm a huge RE fan who has been eating up everything RE since the original PS1 RE1. RE5 lasted me about a month. (including the Versus DLC) Even today, I'm still playing Left 4 Dead. Versus Mode in L4D is one of the most addictive and ingenious things to play ever. RE5 isn't bad, but it doesn't do much to make me keep playing after everything is finished and unlocked.

I love L4D cause it makes me want to play the game for the game. And nothing else. No fancy bs dangling in front of me to distract me from noticing when a game isn't really that great. Just shut up and play. It's awesome.

If you really gave up on L4D already, I take it you barely gave Versus a try. It's the reason to play.

And the only laziness on Valve's part is with the 360 version, where there are many issues and glitches still present. Main concern: Powershots are still in the 360 version.

What about Aliens vs. Predator 2 ?
Its one of the scariest games ive ever player. Playing as a Marine,frantically throwing flares into the darkness because you can hear the skittering of face-huggers coming from everywhere. Sick !

[dicker2]

Doom 3 was quite scary, although you expected all the time that some big scary monster jumps in front of you (or scratches your back)

FEAR
Return to castle wolfestein
Resident Evil

These are the only games i came across.

[Spannerz]

Hehe, I freaked out with Fatal Frame ~ I own all in the series!

AVP2 marine was nice one. Not the scariest but difficulty wise good game.

The original Resident Evil is still the best survival horror game to this day IMO. I downloaded the Gamecube remake the other day so I can play it on my PC, and it still gives me the chills. Maybe I'll finally beat it after all these years...

that and there's what? 5 weapons you can get not counting throwable/one time use crap?

You'll probably like L4D2 a lot more. If you haven't played it by now, you should be. There's so much more variety and game modes. And remember, it's all about the multiplayer. Playing solo with bots is boring.

I don't know but does Bioshock qualifies for Horror game ?

[P$ycHo™]

I wouldn't call it scary.

[ElChevelle]

It has it's scary portions, mostly due to the dark tone and mystery.

Just seen the trailer of " Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of Earth". It's horror game, i didn't played it yet but going to play soon.
