SCARY GAMES!

[Asila]

I'm a big scaredy cat, so half the games I've played freak me out. The one that sticks in my mind as the first game to scare the shit out of me is some old computer game (ugh, I can't remember the name now) where you were in an old museum hunting these old, evil mayan ghosts that lived in various elements, and would pop out of things and suck your life if you didn't have the appropriate container for them... the first one is automatic, and scared the ever-loving shit out of me, and then immediately after that I stumbled on the curator who had been sucked dry, and was basically mummified, and I shut the game off for two months, seriously.
Recently, Eternal Darkness was scary and awesome, especially when my head randomly exploded, and Silent Hill 2 I could only play with other people around AND drunk.

Going waaay down into that tunnel towards the end, and rounding corners to see Pyramid Head was freaky. I don't know which was worse: playing the game not knowing when he was going to pop up, or knowing he was actively searching for you.

All the Silent Hill games were deliciously creepy in their own way, but 2 was only creepy for me BECAUSE of pyramid head. If he wasn't in there, then the game would be somewhat tame. The FIRST one, however, made me shit enough bricks to build a one-story with a two-car garage...AND still have enough left over to make an outdoor barbecue pit.
