Games and Fear

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday October 31, 2006 @08:37AM from the wumpus-still-scares-me dept.

Happy Halloween, game folks. There are a couple of creepy-themed game articles floating around the web today, and they're all lists ... disturbingly. eToyChest gives us the top five most horrifying moments in games. Next Generation offers a ten-point guide to inspiring fear in games. And finally, GameTrailers.com has an entertaining top ten scariest games list, complete with video. Even if I don't agree with some of their placements within the list, I think their #1 is a pretty accurate pick.

  Now I have to add a whole bunch of text to get around the lameness filter. Of course, if it were truly a lameness filter it would, in fact, filter itself.

  You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

The Ocean House Hotel was one of the creepiest areas I've ever played in a game.
