I gotta agree with you about RTCW. The archaeological dig is a very nice map. Also, the sound of those biomechs clinking around in the cages freaks me out some too. It can all get freaky with a good computer and sound system.

I also liked American McGee's "Alice". I thought that was a fairly freaky game. It was like Alice In Wonderland, but while on shrooms. If you really were on schrooms, that game would be the freakiest.

I would have to say the scariest game I've ever played was Aliens vs. Predator 2 as the marine. Your light would go out at the worst times, and in a near-black room with Aliens all over the place, the pucker factor is pretty damn high.
 
The first time I met the Skaarj in the original Unreal...
Hit that switch then, cachunk, cachunk one light after the other goes out...

The rest of the game wasn't scary though.

Poor windows was not a brave soul. Threatened by the force of General Protection and Major Problem the little OS committed suicide by hanging.
 
The most scariest games I ever played were:
Half-Life,
Aliens vs Predator (the original one, not the sequel),
The Thing,
and probably the scariest of them all (in a very physiological way) is the gaming masterpiece Silent Hill 2.

I've only played the demo of Undying but I found it very creepy, I'm still considering to get the full game.

The least scariest games were definitely Quake 2 (boring linear, repetitive SP) and the crappy Unreal 2 (did U2 even try to be scary? don't know that).

I'm probably missing one or more titles in both categories but the named ones are for me personally the most important titles.

I don't consider the Resident Evil series as really scary games because they only offer rather conventional Hollywood horror where Silent Hill 2 for example offers "intelligent" horror which is much more subtle and effective as just zombies attacking you or dogs jumping through windows.

When The Butcher comes out and yells "Fresh Meat!" on Diablo, it still stands my hairs up on my back and arms.

Water cooling is for the weak. Get liquid nitrogen.
 
Clive Barkers Undying. Hands down, the best I`ve seen to date for creepy atmosphereic sounds and fitting graphics. Truly, a marriage made in..? Well, you pick the proper H. If there be "God(s)", a sequel will be made.

I want to die like my Grandfather...in my sleep...not screaming in terror like his passengers.
 
You obviously haven't tried playing Undying midnight with a hometheater system and a big empty house!!! I have and honestly i just couldnt sleep that night and had to listen to music till the morning when my family came back.

I just ordered Undying. I hope its as good as people are saying it is otherwise I have wasted $5.00. :) Will it work with win XP. I read somewhere that 2000 and NT are NOT supported. Just wondering if there will be a conflict.
 
I just went to the website and I was wondering if its worth the money? I am on vacation right now and my friend back in the states said it wasnt worth the money? CAn someone give me insight on this?

Thank you.

I just got done playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time. It definately had a scary atmosphere and pretty good storyline but it didn't scare me. I think maybe because nothing jumped out at you, you could always hear them with the radio before anything happened. But it's not a knock on the game it was excellent.

A game hasn't scared me or freaked me out since Resident Evil first came out. After that I was kind of ready for anything. I'll never forget those jobs jumping through the window when your walking down the hallway. I dont think I've ever been so startled in my life.

Only Everquest players will get this and then maybe some of the old school ones. But when I first went to Unrest and ran into my first Festering Hag it scared the crap outta me. It got to the point that when a Hag was loose the whole zone crapped it's pants.

I bought SH2 about a week back. I love the story line and all but it's not scary. The enviroments are kinda creepy though. The biggest prob of the game is that it's damn slow. Everytime i start playing it i feel like sleeping i mean walking around takes 90% of the time.

That's my only gripe about the game as well, running around town forever. Plus it's so easy to miss something on the ground and you dont want to bother running for hours around town on foot looking for stuff.

Have you picked up a copy yet? I got mine and its pretty damn good. Specially at midnight with the sound turned way up and pitch dark.
