Resident Evil 1
-When this first came out, me and my buddy played it in the middle of the night with surround sound and the lights off. It fucked us up pretty badly. Plus, the music was fucking phenomenal and incredibly atmospheric. The whole setting just drew you in. Even though the voice acting sucked, the game was still great, simply because there wasn't enough voice acting to really distract you from the terror.
Clive Barker's Undying
-The setting was amazing. It was the first true period piece I had played, not counting the crap WW2 sims that are everywhere since saving ryans privates. The story was great, the little tidbits here and there with the seeing stone were fucking creepy as all hell. Gradually, the game slowly got less and less scary though. But still, it was fucking amazing all the way through (especially Aaron). The voice acting was top notch, and probably the most messed up shit was hearing past conversations between the family members and what not (Ambrose beating his father to death, Aaron yelling at Jeremiah, everything). Overall, a great work, and it truly saddens me that his latest piece, Jericho, was no where near as good. I'd honestly have preferred something akin to a slower type of game like the first one, to allow you to get to know the characters and feel closer to them, etc, etc, and to allow for more horror.
One thing about Resident evil series: the latest one was not really scary, just adrenaline pumping and intense as all fuck. 2nd one was good (if not great) but not scary. Neither were any of the later ones before 4. Anyway, that's about it, not counting Oblivion and FO3. THose aren't so much scary though as just so horrifyingly bad that I'll hang myself. Anyway, bang out the scariest games you've ever played. (The shit that made you jump in the night). I'd put Doom III on the list, but lets face it, it didn't really scare anyone.
