I borrowed my friend's copy of FEAR last week, and I have to say I'm not entirely impressed by it. The game is certainly engrossing, and creepy as all hell, but the guns feel really terrible. They don't seem to have much control at all unless you are in "slow motion" mode. I wish you could change the fire mode from burst to single round on some of the assault rifles, and the sound effects for them seem somewhat weak. Maybe I'm just spoiled on HL2 and stuff, but I really don't feel like they engineered them very well.
The story is intriguing, though, and fun to play through. I'm nearly done with the third level at this point (don't have a lot of time to play around, unfortunately), and am enjoying it, but I found that bit frustrating. The AI is quite good, though - I frequently find myself being outmaneuvered by the troops and have to do some fancy footwork to stay alive in group battle situations.
Doom3 for me was the scariest with silent hill 3 a close second/. It wasn't so much the graphics as it was the sound _with_ the graphics. I think I got a kink in my neck the first night I was playing doom3 from trying to see what was sneaking up behind me. I got to a point that I put the game away and un-installed it from my computer. Now I want to finish it and cannot find the disks...
i just got fear a couple of days ago too. I hate playing it cause it scares the crap outta me, but i keep doing it anyways.
I remember how scary the Original Half Life used to be. Everything became mutated and ****.....
I am awaiting the Release of Gears Of War, I heard that was going to be pretty scary *roll eyes*
That is funny as hell. I'll never understand why I and so many other people like yourself get so scared over something that is so... not real. lol oh well, those games are fun as heck anyways.
I've actually never played any of the Doom games. I played Duke Nukem once though.
What is the scariest game you guys have played? I've played Fear at night with a full moon and all by my lonesome once. That was pretty scary. Lol I had to watch cartoons for 2 hours just so I could not be scared to fall asleep.

Yeah, From some wierd reason, Whenever I play a game at night scares the **** out of me, I can't sleep.....So I just use a bit of a Vitamen-Porno to help get my mind off it....
In the day, Game seems boring...not scary at all....
I hear Bioshock is supposed to be one of the scariest games ever when it comes out. I wish there was a demo for it, cause it looks very cool.
RIP Bucko
HOLY HELL
I just watched the trailer for that baby... DANG SON!!
Go to IGN.com and watch the age restricted version. It's not so much as its scary... but just super effed up.

Hmm I reckon Oposing Force was more scary personally but yeah walking around in the dark and having head crabs jump at you still gets me. Ravholm in HL2 was fair nuts I got freaked out when one of those really fast zombies first came at me I pumpeed so much shotgun lead into that thing even after it was long dead.
