A list of the scariest video games ever made. Dont play these in the dark, make sure youve got yourhid lights shining at full blast or else the slightest noise, from a train horn to a creaking door will have you soiling yourself. System Shock 2 Before their was BioShock, the successful game for the Xbox 360 console, there was System Shock 2, an action role playing science fiction game developed for PCs and featuring some of the scariest science fiction gaming ever seen. You play as a soldier on a ship that is responding to a distress signal on a far away planet. The rescue team brings strange eggs aboard which then infect the team and the infestation grows. You find yourself awake in a cryo-tube on the ship and must try to find your way out and stop the infestation. With a story that is reported to have been loosely based on the novella The Heart of Darkness and artwork that evokes the terror of deep space alien infestation, System Shock 2 was a highly influential first person shooter in the horror genre and is still considered well ahead of its time by critics and fans. Fatal Frame This ghost story released for the Playstation 2 and Xbox consoles started what is now a successful franchise with a number of sequels and even a planned film. Fatal Frame is a unique game in that you play as a character with no weapons, but instead use an antique camera to damage and capture spirits. You have a number of shots on the camera, which makes it act like a sort of weapon in a way with limited ammunition, but it is always fresh to see a game that doesnt involve guns. As you search through the world with your trusted camera you attempt to find out what happened to your older brother who has gone missing. You search, of course, a haunted mansion to uncover the secrets. It turns out that the story is loosely based around legends in the Humuro Mansion in Japan and the gruesome deaths reported to have happened there.About the Author:
