A list of the scariest video games ever made. Donât play these in the dark, make sure youâve got your hid lights shining at full blast or else the slightest noise, from a train horn to a creaking door will have you soiling yourself.
Resident Evil
The original âResident Evilâ game released in 1996 for the PLaystation and Saturn consoles is a landmark in gaming and survival horror, mixing in puzzles with action terror. I remember as a kid how frightening that live action opening scene was where your team has to outrun and take shelter in an abandoned looking mansion after being chased by zombie dogs and humans in the pitch black night. In the relative safety of the mansion you must find out what is going on with the Umbrella Corporation and the bizarre murders that have occurred around Raccoon City. Remakes for the Nintendo DS, Wii and the Gamecube console have brought âResident Evilâ to new fans of all ages, solidifying its title as one of the scariest games of all time.
Silent Hill 2
Often seen as the best game of the series, âSilent Hill 2â takes the terror of the first game to new heights with better graphics, story and cutscenes making the terror almost palpable. Again, you play as James Sunderland who arrives in the city of Silent Hill after receiving a mysterious letter from his wife who died years ago. As he investigates the town he founds a numer of strange beings an monsters, one of them being the now notorious âPyramid Headâ monster which is a grotesque incarnation of Sunderlandâs own guilt and subconscious mind. The further Sunderland searches the deeper he gets into the mysteries of the town and his own mind. The game was a success for the franchise and led to, as of today, five more releases in the âSilent Hillâ world and even a movie starring Radha Mitchell.
