Wanted to clock in on Ghostbusters (360)
If you are a Ghostbusters nut (like I am) you will LOVE this game. It truly is as great or better than a third movie. The story arc is consuming, linking in very nicely with all that other Ghostuster fan knowledge you have. The voice work is THE best part.
Yes the character models do look a little "off." However, the inclusion of so much stuff from the movies including music, just makes this so sweet.
Some levels are downright spooky. Graphics are very well done. Blasting everything apart with the proton accelerator in an attempt to catch that ghost, just feels SO right. So very GhostBusters "I did that, I did that, That's my fault." The story will drive you along and the script is incredibly well done, possibly better than Ghostbusters 2.
Lighting effects are very well done. Lightening in the last level or anytime you get to use your flashlight, is a real joy. Check out the Sedgewick Hotel return visit kitchen, with the levitating pots and pans W/ the flashlight. Wow. At times, this story becomes much more scary than the original movie sets, comparatively speaking. Oh! and its hilarious.
 
No one ever play F.E.A.R?

Yes... playing the game will fuck your mind..






EDIT: almost forgot Penumbra. I think it is scarier than F.E.A.R... Play penumbra without being scared once and i give you a medal

Concur. Great! game w/ some SOLID shooting, if you can take the ALMA sections. (I tried, I can't)
Costume Quest is out....reviews are so so. I'll be checking it out here soon.

half life 1 w/ they hunger isn't very intense. that game is modified quake 2 engine....should be playable.
clive barker's the undying (pc) is modified unreal 1 tech.....thats pretty safe.
Quake 2 engine? Tried Quake 2 before, my PC couldn't run it... So Half Life 1 mods are out of the question.

I haven't tried The Undying yet.. I just might. The graphics seem low enough for my computer...

Though that's what I said about Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, and that ended up not working.

Luigi's mansion!!

Lol just kidding...
I think thats totally valid and why I recommended it.
Fatal Frame and Silent Hill for the horror apt.
Luigi's Mansion and Costume Quest for the not so hardcore. (me)

I got into Demon's Souls a little ways, and that game has some serious ominous moods in it. However, it would take a large chunk of dedicated time to enjoy. I died after spending 25 minutes working on a level. BACK! to the start of the level I went. Ouch. However, I have a feeling that this kind of difficulty will be worth it.

Oh crap. Almost forgot. Heres a good one.

Dead Space Extraction. Wii.
Play by yourself or with a friend. (I suggest, with a friend.)
 
I don't really care thats its not Halloween! I'm gonna keep on adding! Can't wait for Halloween 2011

Haunt for Kinect & Xbox 360.

I will! buy a Kinect just for this game if it turns out to be "spooky" and fun.

Amnesia: Dark Descent. PC

Looks f'ing brilliant. I would be way to scared to play it.
 
No one has said Amnesia: The Dark Descent?

Considered by many to be the scariest game ever made. Grown men piss themselves with fear. When the Potato Sack thing for Portal 2 was coming out and Amnesia was with it, everybody who got it played every game a lot EXCEPT Amnesia because they couldn't deal with how scary it is.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see that.

For Resident Evil 4, I'd recommend you make it the new 360/PS3 version coming out. Same game, with all of the bonus features along with updated graphics. For only $20, it's not a bad deal.

As for horror games... I've never played it, but apparently the game (an adventure game from the 90's, I think) of Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is supposed to be pretty terrifying. I have been looking into giving it a go; has anyone else here tried it.

Even if the game isn't good, the short story is definitely worth checking out. Now THAT is how you write horror.

Its almost time......I love Halloween and I love games that help. System doesn't matter, as you'll see here in a minute. I gear more towards...spooky....but to each their own.

I'll start.

Resident Evil 1 Remake: (GC) Numero Uno. Great spooky classic zomebie game made great on the gamecube. A must play even for wimps like me who tend to stay away from scary things.

Luigi's Mansion: (GC)

Resident Evil Outbreak (PS2)

They Hunger Series of mods for Half Life 1 are truly incredible, and must be played by anyone who likes a good mod. Scary, creepy, great atmosphere. The zombies are coming and you have to get out. Everyone around you has turned, even the authorities. A great mod and highly recommended. Easily 2-3 hours of awesome playing.

RE1 and RECO levels for SvenCoop(A mod for Half-Life 1). They are built around the Resident Evil series and are alot of fun to play with a bunch of people on the internet. Very spooky I think. Survival horror coop is great fun. I wish it would be hosted more often, especially now that Sven 4.5 is out

Half-Life 1 mod Swiss Cheese Halloween 2002. I enjoyed playing this mod. Kind of a spoof on all the horror out there. The Tv's playing Scream and Excorcist music in the houses is awesome. The levels are also decked out with lots of fall colors. Not huge production value, but very fun nontheless. Recommended.

Resident Evil Outbreak 1 & 2 for the PS2 are other great examples of survival horror coop. I find them extremely entertaining.

Dead Rising (360) ---Definately instills some dread in me, nothing really frightening.Well, the bosses are pretty f'ed up.

Resident Evil 4 (GC)----An absolute must play. Very spooky.

Ocean Hotel Level from Vampire Bloodlines. It is probably the most atmospheric level I have ever played. Probably the best level I've ever played period. It is extremely spooky and should not be missed. Heck, Vampire Bloodlines shouldn't be missed period. The entire games is soaked in atmosphere, and I would love to be playing it in the days prior to Halloween. It's an awesome game. Nobody should miss it.
Its relative to Deus Ex in gameplay, simply incredible. If you overlook the flaws (Or Patch It LOL), its really a great game.

Eternal Darkness for the gamecube, since I never got around to it ever. It is a spooky games I've heard.

Thief 3 for the Xbox has "The Cradle" level which is a great one. The game is overall a great game with a pretty good helping of atmosphere.

Banjo Kazooie Halloween Level. Nostalgia plus Halloween. WIN!


I'm just trying to get that spooky October feeling again, like I had when I was a kid. Please help me out. I really enjoy this topic.

May I add? (I don't intend to visit this post often but I passed by on what looks like a good post here's my thoughts!)

1.) A mission in Fable III - Involving 'Black-Children Ghosts' this scares the 'bee-jeebers' out of me!

2.) Haunting Ground (PS2) Didn't read your post (In depth) so I don't know if it is on there.

3.) Fallout 3 (360) Not the game but trekking through and finding a group of crazy-raging Raiders!

There is loads but I only play Zombie Games, COD, Halo, Mass Effect, Sims and GTA and those sort of games... but I might give these games a whirl.
