Say What Again Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I voted movies, but years ago Silent Hill used to scare the **** out of me when I played it at home in the dark, 3am after a late shift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Winchester Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I voted movies, but years ago Silent Hill used to scare the **** out of me when I played it at home in the dark, 3am after a late shift! Silent Hill is the only game that's ever scared me. Never been scared of any movies as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sconnie Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 This shouldn't even be up for discussion ffs. Games are much scarier than films. I'll even list a few of them... Silent Hill Resident Evil Doom Fear 2 and Condemned demos were pretty scary. I challenge anyone on here to name a scary film. Christ, Bioshock was scarier than any film I've ever seen!

P-Dizzle Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Not trying to sound cool or anything, but films dont scare me at all. Biggest time ive jumped when playing a game was playing Half-life 2 for the 1st time when i was about 14 @ 3AM. Those zombies in ravenholm really got me.

Fat Bob Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Not that I'm a big gamer, but there's been a couple of games that have genuinely made me jump. More than can be said for most movies I've watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee! Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Games have given me some frights. Resident evil gave me a few. I remember some monster jumping through the window of a changing room in the 1st one. My pants needed changing after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dizzle Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 every time I play it and get to that bit I want to get out of it as quick as possible because it is scary, play my best during that area. Haha me too. I honestly think, without exaggeration ive compleated half-life 100 times Just get into the zone for that bit I allways keep my magnum rounds till the end where your holding out on the roof. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Drago Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 games by miles for me. the dogs through the windows in Resi will stay with anyone who's ever played it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 In films, your watching someone else in control. But in games, your in control and that makes it scarier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neave Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Games where you're slowly wandering around for seemingly ages knowing that at any given second something might either jump out at you, be following you or be around the corner are scarier than any movies. Twisted plots and ominous signs (e.g. a trail of blood for example, a random sound like a child screaming) help. See: Silent Hill. Also, who remembers that ****ing weird bit in Max Payne after he had been jagged with that weird drug? The bit where you had to walk in exact straight lines along tracks of blood, where every few seconds you hear his son screaming and crying? Horrible bit, that.

flogelisgod Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Even in Batman Arkham Asylum, the Scarecrow bit is a bit freaky!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest time ive jumped when playing a game was playing Half-life 2 for the 1st time when i was about 14 @ 3AM. Those zombies in ravenholm really got me. Good part about going to Ravenholm is using the gravity gun and the circular saws Games have given me some frights. Resident evil gave me a few. I remember some monster jumping through the window of a changing room in the 1st one. My pants needed changing after that! Was it not in Res Evil 2, going thro the police interview room when the monster with the long tongue jumps through the window. Yes, i also jumped at that bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sconnie Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sconnie and I are having a 'discussion' on the xbox whether movies or games are scarier? Sconnie wins. I'd say most of the people who voted for films haven't played anything other than sonic or mario tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brow Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Gears of War is well creepy. Them berserker dudes screechin then charging outta nowhere. Not the best to play in a dark room as I was the other night. Great game though. Silent Hill, Resident Evil, even Doom all have their horrible 'oh****oh****oh****' moments. Games are much more immersive than films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigaro Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I mind ****ting myself on the first Tomb Raider where the bear suddenly appear at your back. Not overly scary, but I remember just about having a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
