Help me find Horror Games!!

Hello everybody! Well I'm gonna buy the new Asus G1S next month and I'd like to buy some games to play with =P

The thing is I'm interested in horror games but I dont know a lot of them...

I know I'll try out Silent Hill 2 & 3 (as the 4th one isnt too good according to reviews...) but appart from those two I dont know what to try out!

Can you guys give me some good horror games names?? Thanks!!

 

Try Condemed:Criminal Origins and you won't regret...

 

Bioshock is coming out soon. Hopefully the G1S will be able to run it on at least medium settings (assuming that better drivers come out by then).

 

Try out Resident Evil 4 for PC/PS2.

get the 1.10 patch for it (if you are playing the Windows version), then it looks way nice.

 

Thank you both!!! A lot! And yeah I heard of Criminal Origins But i forgot bout it, Ima check about it right now! Ill check for Bioshock too! Cant wait to get the G1S!

WOW! Thank you!

Im very interested in Fatal Frame but can someone tell me if its for PC too? I only saw PS2 and XBOX versions...

 

Thanks for this!!!

WOW This Alan Wake game looks CRAZY! Anybody know when its out for PC??? Cant wait

 

As for the other games that are not ported for PC, you can easily emulate:
- Dreamcast
- PSX
- PS2

 

If you really want to get scared and have shivers going throughout you body then get F.E.A.R. I know it was already mentioned but I feel like it isn't getting enough attention. Big F.E.A.R fan here

 

Is it really scary? I thought it was just like gun game I didnt think there was really anything "horror" to it. But if you both recommand it guys I think I'm go for it and try out I know A LOT of people enjoy this game I hear about it all the time!

 

Vouch @ F.E.A.R.

 

FEAR is a good FPS thriller... it does not compare to the Silent Hill or Resident Evil series though if we are talking about horrors.

 

Thanks for the details Well Im a big horror fan but I think ima check FEAR out anyways cause it seem great

 

So FEAR get's scarier than the free demo? Cuz I played that, and while it looked like it might be a worthwhile purchase, it looked a little bit tame from what I saw...

 

Also I would recommend to check out Doom 3 as well... since it is considered a Horror game.

 

Great thanks

Does anybody know when those games come out for PC??? :

Alan Wake
Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth
Alone in the Dark 5 Or Alone in the Dark: Near Death Investigation

P.S. I just came back from E3, so I have a gaming info rush at the moment.

 

LOL, Lucky you! Well thanks for the dates! I appreciate your help a lot and added a point to your rep

 

F.E.A.R. Definitely gets scarier as you progress through the game. Its really great (or scary) if you play at night. I've played it in the dark and alone at the end and I was getting REALLY freaked out (in a cool way). I also played it during the day around other people and it lost some of the scary... probably because its atmospheric, which is a good thing.

Doom 3 never seemed that scary to me, its just a JUMP game where things JUMP at you. That doesn't scare me so much. I like atmosphere.

My recommendations:

Alone in the Dark (multiple version as well as one coming out)
System Shock 1 (old game)
System Shock 2 (newer game)
Bioshock
FEAR
I've head Condemned is really creepy.

 

Eh? Is there actually a working PS2 emulator that runs at a decent frame rate?

 

Yup, I have been using PCSX2 for the last year on my notebook... 30+ FPS.

The emulator is interesting... its more CPU intensive than graphic intensive.
- its multi-threaded, so the more cores you got the better.
- and it has high compatibility.

I have been finishing Kingdom Hearts series on it.

 

Huh, I've been shying away from it because everyone keeps saying that you need some quad-core 5000000GHZ desktop to run it. I'll have to give it a try.

 

The 5.00GHz requirement was meant for the old single-core P4's and AMD's... but in the new era of multi-cores... most mid-range (~2.00GHz and up) dual core CPU's seem to run the emulator fine... even with just a mid-range videocard (Nvidia 7600 and up | ATI X1600 and up)

Most current desktop dual-cores (AMD Athlon X2's or Core 2 Duo's) should be fine. The lucky people with quad-cores will notice the no issues.

 

Uhh if you are going to get Resident Evil 4, get it for the Wii if you have one. I hear it is really good on it.

 

I was going to do a write up review for the Resident Evil 4 (PC version), if you want i'll show you the game in 1080p on my notebook.

it definitely looks better than the other platform versions.

 

Fully back CONDEMNED, CLIVE BARKER'S UNDYING, and I will add the (more than) ten year old REALMS OF THE HAUNTING because it had a great atmosphere.

 

Hey,don't forget....


JERICHO is comming!!!!

http://www.codemasters.co.uk/jericho/index.php

 

Yeah this Jericho thing looks INSANE!! haha

Thank you all for the suggestions now I wanna try them all!

But about the emulator thingy... I dont know how to do that! lol

 

Just added Realms of the Haunting to the list....

I forgot about that game, it was pretty good.

 

Where do you get the emulator and how do you use it?

 

PCSX2

You use it like every other emulator.
