With Halloween approaching I just wondered what everyones staple horror games were.  Those we would play until our fingers bled.  Mine would have to be RE4.  The story line of rescuing the presidents daughter was lame but the creep factor was great!  Enough out of me.  Lets have 'em.

Never really got in to the horror or survival genre all that much.  Not because I don't like it, more due to lack of time.  Though I did just complete RE5 with my daughter over the summer.  As a co-op game it was good, though it felt like it would have not been so good as a single player.

Never played any of the other in the RE franchise except for 4, enjoyed what I did play of it though.

I even own a copy of Amnesia: Dark Descent.  Have yet to fire it up and play.  Some day though.

I like horror games, although admittedly have played so many that I've largely become desensitized to them.  That said, here is my list of games I found scary:

Fatal Frame series - Fatal Frame 2 is probably the scariest game I've ever played.  Creepy atmosphere, disturbing ghosts and plenty of jumpscares.  By the time I got to the third game, I was somewhat desensitized, but it's an overall very creepy series.

F.E.A.R. - Lots of jumpscares and atmosphere the first time through.  Second time through, not so much.  By now I've played it 4-5 times and it's not scary at all anymore.  Ditto with the expansions and sequels.

Silent Hill 3 - My personal favorite of the series and arguably the most atmospheric.  A lot of people pick Silent Hill 2, but I've always found 3 to be my fav.

Penumbra 2 - The first Penumbra game had mediocre combat.  So they removed it for the second game.  As a result, you can only hide from enemies and pray they don't find you.  Predates games like Amnesia and Outlast with this game mechanic.

Five Nights at Freddy's - A quasi-horror/puzzle game, this game creates a lot of suspense, especially watching your power tick towards zero as you keep hoping for the sun to come up.

One Late Night - As if working late in the office wasn't scary enough, then mysterious supernatural things start to happen...

If you have a PS4, download P.T.

Only game that's caused me to launch a laptop across the room while my wife was playing.

The last puzzle is a pile of crap but it's terrifying throughout.

the "didju rike it" video played through the mic solved it for us

Ha the PT game. I was ready for anything, but I did jump out of my seat when I got grabbed by the ghost woman. Not that it scared me, but the guy next to screamed at the top of his lungs.
