I suggest Amnesia and Slender. If you like plot based horror games (well, Amnesia is plot based but I personall hate the plot :P) you should play Corpse Party, Ib or The Witch's House. All of them are really great games :3
I agree with you that video games are the scariest. I like Silent Hill and the older Resident Evil games (newer ones are not horror, more like action games now). Two other series I recommend are Dead Space and F.E.A.R. Those two are my favorite current series. Amnesia is good too.

Haven't played Amnesia for some reason, gotta play it.
Slender is fun as hell, albeit a bit slow.
I love indie horror games. Check out Imscared, VERY awesome game that breaks the 4th wall.

I'm playing through the first FEAR right now, it's basically just run and gun with some spooky moments here and there. *shrugs*
I've played through most of both Dead Space 1 and 2, but have never beat them for some godforsaken reason. I think I get bored and just end up uninstalling them.

It was scarier than ANY book I have ever read or any movi..."Heh, I hear you on that. Bioshock is one of the most immersive and intense games ever; one of the best games of all time for sure. Bioshock 2 however... is complete garbage. I still can't believe it even exists, it's so bad.
PRETTY FUCKING EXCITED for Bioshock Infinite though, looks killer, it's definitely a true sequel.
You should check out SystemShock; what Bioshock is a spiritual sequel to.
Even with the terrible lighting and game controls, Koudelka has managed to stick with me for years.
I've played VERY LITTLE of Koudelka.I went on a PlayStation rom spree not to long ago, collecting every horror game I possibly could for that system. The battle system in Koudelka was mind-numbing, I couldn't get into it.
Maybe I should try again? People who loved it say it's one of the best and gets pretty deep.
I have to agree with those who have placed SILENT HILL and RESIDENT EVIL games at the top of their lists. I prefer the older SILENT HILL games over the PS3 incarnations, but I've pretty much enjoyed them all. FATAL FRAME 2 (PS2) is also very good.
Silent Hill 1-3 are considered the solid originals by Team Silent.Silent Hill 4 was meant to be a separate game called "The Room"- many people still like it, despite for some flaws. This was Team Silent's last SH game.
Homecoming was made by an American Team and changed the dynamics of the game, I didn't care for it.
Origins was pretty bad too, but more like the first three games.
Haven't played Downpour, but I've heard good things.
If only Team Silent could make a TRUE Silent Hill game. :(
I actually met Akira Yamaoka at the Hollywood Premier of Silent Hill Revelations 3D a few months ago. I won tickets and went, it was PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME.
Just finished Fatal Frame 1. Pretty intense game, no idea in HELL how you're supposed to actually capture every ghost that pops out.

Got the A ending... without knowing there were multiple endings. I'm kind of pissed because the other endings seem more depressing and would leave you with a more grim feeling after completing the game.
Anyhow, it was great, if only I had a PSP to play the rest of the series!

To be honest, I never finished Koudelka either. I've been meaning to for years. There's something special about the game in spite of the horrible battle system. Maybe it was the headless dancing ballerinas or the fact your party can die horribly in the final battle.
I liked Dead Space. I read the books and watched the movies for it too. Both the first and second games had great endings. Most of the classics have already been mentioned here.
I really enjoyed Alan Wake for the X-Box 360.
It wasn't the most scary game ever made but it was still a really good spooky game with a fantastic story.
Dead Space 3 was a awesome co-op game. I enjoyed it a lot.
Ha ha! I had a lot of fun playing on hardcore mode. I wish I knew you when I was still playing the game. I would of loved a chance to play as Carter because I never got the chance to play as him. I was always Isaac. Which systems do you own? I have a 360 and a PS3.
Do you have X-Box Live? You should add me. We can play one of those free co-op games they release every month if you ever need a co-op partner in the future.My gamertag is gabrielzer0 <-- with the number zero at the end.
I play mostly horror games, but I'm always up for a new co-op game.
I liked Silent Hill 3 so much that i figured out the tactics enough to do a ridiculous speed run and then put it on again...it was great.
What did you think of the HD remake Mark? I heard it was awful.
Awesome. I will add you. Defiance is a free to play MMO on the 360.
With all the recent updates the game isn't bad.
Who said Dead Space wasn't scary? Man, I salute you. Dead Space 2 scared the beejezus out of me - lights off, surround sound on - nope not doing that again.
Dead Space: Martyr has a really good story, better then the story in Dead Space 3 in my opinion. It really focused on how humanity became involved with the markers and the creation of Unitology. Any fans of the Dead Space games should check it out.
The whole Carnival scenerio in Left 4 Dead 2 was kind of freaky. Clowns...

I agree with the user who said this:
1. They need to introduce a new aspect of it's mythos, and possibly add a new gameplay mechanism.
2. Keep the best parts of the three earlier installments, like the general gameplay, enemies, puzzles and the weapons workbench.
3. Then introduce a new main character in a setting that we haven't yet been introduced to in Dead Space universe. Heck, it doesn't have to be in closely after, or right before any of the installments. For what is to be seen, these necromorphs have been around for millions of years, and I don't think they will disappear for at least another million. They should go to another era in this dystopian future and dish up some new or old technology.
4. Isaac or something else very vital to the series should be referenced or hinted at repeatedly, yet in a subtle way. Kind of like they reference the different installments of Bioshock in Burial at sea.

A lot of recently released and upcoming horror games are on the horizon, and still plenty of old or obscure games to get spooked at. Anyone play anything lately that caused them to shit their pants?
I pre-ordered The Evil Within. I want to support that there is still horror love over from the council gamers. It looks like a really scary game so I am hoping it lives up to it's potential.

Probably one of my favorite lists on the internet.
Horror/Mindfuck/NOPE games.
As a horror aficionado, I dabble in everything. Video games, however, give a an added experience to horror. The stimulation of CONTROLLING a person in horror, almost as if you're there, gives added depth. Books... don't really frighten me, as my imagination can stop working at any second. Films can have some scares, if they're directed right, but I mostly laugh.
Video games can scare the living shit out of me, and I always crave for more.
What's everyone's favorite horror game? Silent Hill seems to be the most popular, with Doom and Resident Evil not far behind.
I write for a horror-based video game website called RelyonHorror.com, I suggest you checking it out if you're interested in all things horror. I've been planning on bringing a lot more horror into the website besides just video games, especially in book category.
