Looking for a really scary game for the PC

Thething · 04-10-2008, 02:44 AM

Hi guys

Ive recently finished condemned and call of chuthulu dark corners of the earth for the PC (pretty tense games, especially condemned) and im looking for another really scary game for the PC.

I like the kind of "Phsychological" scariness like where its totally silent, creepy, you know theres something after you but you cant see it kind of scaryness as im not frightened by "boo" scariness of stuff jumping out at you like doom 3

.

Any particular recommendations? i was looking at F. E. A. R. but idk what its like.

Oh, man, no problem!

I have a couple of games for you...
Try Silent Hill. I guess you saw the movie.. This movie is made by this game..
And try Manhunt! Great one. Maybe not so scary but really cruel..
Give me a report if you try them..

Hello

Ive completed silent hills 1-4 on the PS2 and yep they were really creepy especially 2 and 3

.

Not sure on manhunt but i may try it in the future, any other scary games to add to the list? thanks in advance

After playing some scary games like Resident Evil (if you really want to call it scary), and Condemned, I have to say that F.E.A.R. has a remarkable way of making you feel completely vulnerable despite having retarded amount of weapons at your disposal.

There were points in F.E.A.R. where I decided not to pick up some item in a dark corner just because I didn't want to run the risk of seeing that girl in the red summer dress. There's no shortage of scenes that give you this general uneasy feeling, but there's not too many of them that it gets old.

The dudes you're blowing up aren't particularly scary (although occasionally startling), but it's the girl really takes the cake when it comes to the freak-factor.

Just thinking about F.E.A.R. scares me.... That girl in the dress wins the award for creepiest NPC!

Give FEAR a try. It's an excellent game, very atmospheric, good for playing in the dark wearing headphones. Another good one is Bioshock.

Thething · 04-10-2008, 01:09 PM

Thanks guys, i will give fear a go, i have bioshock on the 360 and enjoyed it a lot

I was also looking at another game that will be coming out, dead space, heres the link to it: http://uk.pc.ign.com/objects/850/850401.html

I think it looks awsome and i love the idea of just totally random monster attacks, will make the player really on edge

Looks good! Here's a video preview: link

Thething · 04-10-2008, 02:20 PM

Nice trailer, i will be watching this one, lets hope the game turns out as good as it looks

Silent Hll 5 when it comes out, also Alone in the dark, once they (re)release that too! although i don't know if these are coming out for the PC or not.

Thething · 04-12-2008, 07:35 AM

Just been playing FEAR for a few hours and i must say i think its awsome, and geez is it creepy, just what i wanted, looks like Doom3 meets project zero with a bit of silent hill and condemned

I see what you mean about that creepy little girl, when she crawls towards you in that passage, nearly fell off my chair. Even the first building you search is creepy. The graphics are also really good for an older game

Thanks for that recommendation

Oh believe me, it gets worse. :cackle:
