Start applying for kitchen passes! This Saturday night won't work, but there might be a beer or two in the fridge if you want to stop by briefly after work on Friday.

Those Fatal Frame shots look gorgeous. I'm unfamiliar with the series, but I'm very, very interested.
Fatal Frame II scared the shit outta me.

Man, the "Fatal Frame" games rocked - I actually liked them a fair bit more than what I've seen of the "Silent Hill" games.
Very genuinely creepy.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Scary video games are awesome, so I'll probably have to pick this up, though I'm unsure whether or not I'd be able to finish it if it really was scary. I never could finish my GameCube copy of Resident Evil, because I was just too frightened. It's a lot easier to progress in a horror story when you're not the one deciding to go down that dark, spooky corridor and can merely say to the character "Don't go down there, idiot! There's zombers!"
I didn't find the Resident Evil video games all that scary (fun, yes), while Fatal Frame II felt like I was right in the middle of a good Asian horror flick. I dare you to play it at night, with the lights turned off, and the sound turned up.....

I though both series were very creepy in different ways. Fatal Frame a bit more scary I guess, because of the camera and those ghosts could move through walls and other objects. To me Resident Evil 1 and the REmake were the only scary RE games. The other ones had to much action and not enough of the horror vibe, but still excellent games though.
Another fantastic horror game is "Call of Cthulhu: The Dark Corners of the Earth" for the original X-Box.
Man, that has some disturbing imagery.
It's especially effective if you're at all familiar with Lovecraft's work.
It's probably the best representation of Lovecraft outside of his actual writings.

My roommate was about to throw up, watching me play it on my 52". I told him spinning was a good trick. :lol: I was completely unfazed. DIE NAZI SCUM!
in RE4, there was that part in the [] that had me on edge the first time I played it through. Never played Fatal Frame, tho. Spun_Lepton let me borrow it once, but I never bothered to pop it in the ol' PS2.

I've never even heard of Fatal Frame?
What is it and what platforms is it for?
That guy was spooky, but I was thinking of the part where...[] come to think of it, the part where...[] ...was pretty spooky too.

It's a adventure survival horror game with a lot of puzzle / exploration elements to it. You usually have to solve some kind of mystery. You have a special camera which allows you to "attack" the ghosts, but you can't just shoot them though. You have to build up enough power first and make sure the ghosts are close enough to actually trap them in the camera. There are also a bunch of different ghosts that can be either hostile or friendly.
Like Scar mentioned, it can be a creepy game when played in the right setting.
The first 3 games were on PS2 and this one is developed and probably exclusive to the Wii because it's also published by Nintendo.
Haha, I remember how I played that dungeon area the first time. I moved so slow and kept hugging the walls with Leon so that no enemies could jump me from behind.
I actually thought you meant that boss fight in the tunnels at first. []
I played the first hour of Fatal Frame II, scared the shit out of me. I should give it another shot...
Anybody play the DS game Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime? I'm thinking about picking it up.

LEON!
The only two scary games I've played are Silent Hill 2 and Siren. The former was fun. Not so much the other one.

Awesome. A scary game for the Wii. I'm all over that.
Oh shit, Siren was nerve-wracking as hell, and HARD. I never finished that one, and the gameplay design was nearly broken regarding the objectives, forcing you to play through the same levels again and again... bah.

I beat Fatal Frame 2 in one night, playing through it alone with all the lights off. I'm pretty sure I died of a heart attack twice that night and the PS2 controller defibrillated me back to life.

Never played RE1 which most people seem to agree it's the scariest of them all, the others always felt more action oriented, love the series though. The Silent Hill and Fatal Frame games on the other hand, scared me seriously, however, while playing FF3 i thought it lost most of it's freshness, maybe the wii is the right place to inject some novelty to the franchise.
speaking about resident evil, the fifth game seems to be coming along nicely

no albino midgets this time capcom
You've never heard of it because it sucks. You get a camera instead of a gun and walk around taking pictures of shit. I'd rather yield a colt python and take out some zombies personally.
I'd have to agree that RE1 is the scariest and best. If you can get past the badly translated dialog and terrible voice acting, it was ground breaking, eerie, dark, and had stuff no one has seen before. All the rest of the resident evil's don't really stray off from the main gameplay element, with the exception of RE4 maybe.... but you still need to find cranks, and keys, and medallions, even tho the style of gameplay has changed. With the introduction of the hunters, i found RE1 to be quite scary. The puzzles were great too. RE2 is a close second place, because there are four different ways to beat the game and even more side quests at the end... Trunk and Tofu are fun as hell. Survivor and Dead Aim are the worst REs.
