I was hoping that the number 1 game didn't just scare the shit out me. Nice to know I wasn't alone. :)

I still can't play that game alone or in the dark -_-; I'm glad it got top honors, because I was sitting through the list thinking 'OMG DON'T FUCKING LEAVE THIS OUT, I AM STILL HAUNTED BY WHAT LITTLE OF IT I WAS ABLE TO PLAY'

All I wanted out of the Silent Hill movie was Lisa Garland, which they gave me, so I would have considered it win; however, they ALSO gave me weester Samael cavorting in a shower of blood, so it ended up EXTRA win.

I skipped Doom. But the Silent Hill movie was fairly enjoyable. Especially if you're a fan of the game.

I loved the Silent Hill movie. The only thing that disappointed me was that they switched out Harry with Rose. I like Harry. :(
But Cybil was awesome, and OH GOD PYRAMID HEAD, so: whee!

I got so completely fucking terrified watching Aro's sister play parts of SH 2 and 3 that I nearly ran my car off the road going home afterwards on an unlit, narrow street -- a piece of white paper fluttered across my headlights in the wind. TRUE HILARIOUS STORY.

I thought the Doom movie was true to the game series, and well done in that respect. I won't say its a good movie, but I enjoyed it.

For about five minutes, then the movie goes out of that first-person perspective. The rest has little to do with DOOM's actual story (Mutants and demons are two different things).

The scariest game ever is Elevator Action for the NES. HOW THE FUCK DID THAT GET RELEASED?
Demons are clearly involved.

Now that I can finally watch the video, since I am a hugey mchugehuge gamehorror nerd:
Eternal Darkness should have been much, much higher. They don't warn you anywhere in the game or the booklet about the insanity effects, so the first time it tells you when you're trying to save that it can't because your memory card is corrupted and the game will now restart, YOU THINK IT'S REALLY HAPPENING. Or the flies start crawling on the screen. Or the sound goes out.
I was suprised to see Darkseed on the list, because I thought no one had ever played that game but me. XD Ditto Clock Tower, which would have been a great game if they hadn't originally built it for PC but released it for PS1 -- you don't need to move a mouse in a PS game, okay. That's just ridiculous.
SH2 > SH1, imo, but I could see their point that SH1 started the trend and so deserved the honors on its own; when you can't recognize the differences between Light/Fog/Dark it does turn up the creepyfactor like whoa.
Fatal Frame 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. In fact, the entire Fatal Frame series is amazing, and anyone who's a fan of survival horror should run and not walk to their nearest game store of choice and pick that shit up.

I'm with Aro on Silent Hill 2 > Silent Hill 1, but my brother disagrees, and his reason, which I can at least understand, was that in 1, there was a period of transition where you had time to get scared and build up the dread of !Hell Silent Hill. He enjoyed going from Normal -> Eerie Halfway -> OMG HELL, as opposed to the later games which are kind of like SNAP you're in HELL. He missed the build with the transitions.
One of the things I really, really liked about the movie was the air raid siren heralding the Coming Of the Hell, because you think it's just a sound effect, and it's scary enough when it is, but then it's not, and that is scary also.

Agree that the sirens were a great touch in the movie. Air raid sirens have always been scary. They have meant at various points in my life: tornados, emergency (fire, bad accident etc,- summoning the volunteers), or incoming. Never good.

I think it's more that I prefer SH2 as a story, but I agree that SH1 is much scarier. SH2 is all purgatory all the time, and it loses some of the tension when you're not dreading opening *every single door* because it might be opening into hellworld.
