Below is a list of games that I either played, tried the demo for it or my friends have told me that the game was scary as hell. When it comes to some of the games like Silent Hill 2 my number 1 scariest game I must say it was so intense at times that I couldn’t play it late at night cause it would freak me out… Some of the games just have those parts where you are on the edge of your seat then BAM! something jumps around the corner and scares the crap out of you.

Number 10 Scariest Game : Fatal Frame 2 Fatal Frame II uses gameplay mechanics very similar to its predecessor, with some changes and updates. For most of the game you control Mio Amakura, except for some short scenes where you control her elder twin sister Mayu. (more)

Number 9 Scariest Game : Manhunt Set in dilapidated Carcer City, the story opens with a female journalist reporting on the convict James Earl Cash, a criminal on death row who has supposedly been executed by lethal injection. Cash awakes to the voice of a person coming from an earpiece, revealing that Cash was only sedated. (more)

Number 8 Scariest Game : Siren Siren is set in a remote, rural Japanese mountain village named Hanuda, which is described as being very traditional and particularly xenophobic. Following the interruption of a ritual ceremony in the forest near midnight and a subsequent earthquake, the village teeters wildly between time and space, with an infinite sea of blood-red water in place of the usual surrounding mountains. (more)

Number 7 Scariest Game : Dead Space The player takes on the role of an engineer named Isaac Clarke, who battles a polymorphic, virus-like, alien infestation which turns humans into grotesque alien monsters called "Necromorphs", on board a stricken interstellar mining ship named the USG Ishimura. (more)

Number 6 Scariest Game : Left 4 Dead The game is focused on cooperation and team play; colored outlines of teammates are visible through walls to help players stick together and coordinate their movement. If a Survivor falls off a ledge, then they may automatically hang onto it and can only be helped up by another Survivor. (more)

Number 5 Scariest Game : Clive Barker’s Jericho Certain Apocryphal and Gnostic texts speak of a being created by God, in His own image, before the creation of Adam and Eve; according to legend, this being was abandoned by its own Creator. (more)

Number 4 Scariest Game : Condemned Criminal Origins In Condemned: Criminal Origins, players take the role of Ethan Thomas, a SCU agent (Serial Crime Unit investigator that uses forensic tools) framed for a double cop murder who becomes trapped in the condemned sections of a fictional American city named “Metro City” while hunting a serial killer.
