Chris Rock: Come and get your uncensored Mark Twain books. "Niggers" now included! 

Sorry James, just had to take it there for the lulz!  

Dark Arisen is worth 20 easily. Um, so long as you played & enjoyed monster hunter at some point,like customizing your character,and can get behind the neat "night & day system" that adds tension and horror to the mix once it gets dark outside!

RE 2 scared me the most but I did not truly get into the franchise until RE 4,Peter! I thought that game had a nice blend of horror,atmosphere,tension,and empowerment and it was sad when RE 5 and RE 6 did not mix together that recipe with as much skill. Frankly I'd recommend Revelations over RE 6!

I think you'd like State Of Decay,Chris. It's very fast and action based but you also can stock pile food,scavenge for medical supplies,gather other survivors, drive around, fortify your base,and even grow your own garden depending on where you decide to set up shop.

My pc cannot run that beast but my friend let me play it a bit on his pc! If capcom makes a future RE game similar to state of decay I'll be all over it like an excited dog on a human's leg! lol.

I say RE  and SH were my first horror games but I did play the snes Clocktower on rom. Yeah,it really was scary and I loved the beautiful visual prsentation for that game. The scissor-man made me jump a few times. It's odd I took to Clocktower more than Amnesia on account in many ways they are similar.

Secondly, I did get to play Haunting Ground! Wanted to finish it too but it got lost when I moved between apartments,sadly.

It's no crime to "like" Slender or Amnesia. Just directing this at those people who think anything that is not Slender or Amnesia is not true horror. lol. You cool,man!  Sorry if I came off as abrasive and opinionated. It's not as if I have the right to dictate what is scary and what is not to anyone other than myself! Thanks for helping me keep my "inner jerk bag" in check,heh!

I am familar with Haunting Ground,Andrew. I had it years ago but it got lost when I moved between apartments. I like what I played of it including the story about how the homunculi were created to be "the perfect person" but were all very flawed in some way. I actually felt bad for some of the main antagonists. (But loathed others)

I agree though. I like having "choices" in my survival horror. And yes,replayability too!

Condemned almost seems like a 1st person Silent Hill game from a detective's perspective. Thanks Knight, I'll try checking it out!

Speaking from nostalgia,no games scared me more than Silent hill 1 & 3 and Resident evil 2. I will say Dead Space, RE 4, and Fatal Frame 2 came pretty close though.

 Re 5 and RE6 did not scare me one iota but I managed to have fun with them. RE: Revelations was actually surprisingly good (It surpassed RE 6 in my opinion) and was even tense and stressful in some places.

 Deadly Premonition did not scare me but it had a wonderful horror themed story and interesting characters. (It was also the first open world horror game I played until I delved into Call Of Pipyat a bit) 

 Ps: Technically VTM: Blood-lines was my first open world horror game but eventually you become so powerful as a vampire it becomes more of a supernatural thriller. Regardless I highly recommend it!

Call of Pipyat was pretty damned scary! I still might try Machine For Pigs even though the first Amnesia did not scare me.
