Favorite Horror Game?

[In virtute Dei]

Hey Guys, since Halloween was a week or so ago, I was wondering what your guy's favorite horror games are? Mine is either Silent Hill 2 (Yes I know mainstream answer) or System Shock 2.

Resident Evil 2 for me, classic.

As odd as this sounds, I have played through almost all of them but RE2...haha

Phantasmagoria was pretty awsome back in the days

Silent Hill 1 & 2 and the most overlooked classic Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem .

Eternal Darkness was true brilliance mind fuck.

@Machello I've never heard of that one what's it about? @ALIE Eternal Darkness is a masterpiece, the use of the sanity meter and 4th wall breaks made it such a great game

Well, I'd distinguish between "Favorite" and "Scariest". If we're talking scariest I think I'd have to say Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Penumbra: Black Plague is pretty darn terrifying too but I'd still give it to Amnesia.

For a favorite... that'd be harder for me to say. I love a lot of horror games. Silent Hill 2, the remake of the original Resident Evil, System Shock 2, Eternal Darkness, Alien: Isolation... I'm not sure which one I'd pick if I had to choose one. I love a lot of horror-themed games too which I wouldn't really put in the same category - things like the Dead Space series, Resident Evil from 4 onwards, that sort of thing - great games that aren't really that horrifying just because they give way too much power to the player.

Props on a shout out for Phantasmagoria haha. I loved that game. The second one's actually really good too, and even gorier/racier than the original. @In virtute Dei, Phantasmagoria is an old FMV horror game for PC. It was actually pretty controversial at the time for having some particularly gory moments. I love a lot of those FMV/digitized-actor games like Ripper, 7th Guest, Dark Seed, Harvester, Noctropolis... they're cheesy as crap but I have a real soft spot for them
