Scariest games to date.

F.E.A.R. Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate (the hospital in EP, the whole part after Chen dies in PM =_=). These are the only games that truly scared the hell out of me.

Other games that I found not scary but extremely eerie were Fatal Frame (1-2-3), Dead Space (both), and Resident Evil 0.

This game was amazing...

Yume Nikki and Clock Tower (the very first one). Also, Thief: Deadly Shadows because of the Shalebridge Cradle, which was at least ten times scarier than most so-called horror games (considering that most of them, like Resident Evil, Dead Space, Silent Hill or FEAR, aren't actually scary at all, that's not exactly an achievement, though).

The whole "not able to fight back thing" is definitely not scary in itself. It's a valid design choice, but making it the sole source of attempted horror... no, it just doesn't work. Clock Tower is the only game I played, in which it was used to good effect. Yume Nikki is rather special in that regard, as it's really scary without ever putting you in danger, since it's not actually possible to die there.

Yes, Seriously!...

This. Amnesia was totally wasted on me because of that. Game felt more like a series of puzzles and high-stakes hide & seek than anything really terrifying. Granted, the atmosphere was actually quite well done and rather creepy.

Amnesia, Dead Space, and of course the first Resident evil game

I've played Dead Space 1 & 2 (scared the shit outta me!)& Resident Evil:Code Veronica.(scared me the most!)Those are the 3 scariest games I ever played,PERIOD!

Since I'm pretty much a giant bitch when it comes to any games that are designed to be scary, I haven't actually played any for ages. But, the most recent ones that come to mind are Dead Space and good 'ole Doom 3 (Which got less scary when I found the plasma rifle, demonic horrors are no match for burning plasma apparently.)

It's odd that movies and other media that are supposed to scare people seldom bother me, but video games barely have to try to get me to jump out of my seat. Must be cause video games are a tad more immersive than movies and so on.

My brother scared me with Resident Evil at a young age...(._.)

Games these days aren't really scary anymore...When I was a kid, the scariest game I played was an arcade game called "Carnevil". It was a first person shooter game, cost a quarter to play...Nostalgia strikes again

It's some freaky deaky shit man. They did an exelent job of hiding enemies.

F.E.A.R 1 & 2
Fatal Frame 2 & 4
Amnesia: "The Dark Descent".

I need more to add to the list! :p

Scariest games I've ever played are the Fatal Frame Series

Amnesia [The games tries to put you as the main hero as itself, using mentally disturbing and the theme of the game]
Dead Space 2 [Flying period filled ninjas everywhere]
Cry of Fear [POLISBIL!]
Nanashi no game [It was actually creepy more than scary]
