I'll admit AVP made me jump. Condemed made me feel mildly uncomfortable at most.
Like I mentioned earlier, looking at dead space, I don't think I would find it a very scary experience. Obviousely, devellopers were trying to maximize scary feeling by removing all the hud and menu systems in an effort to make it as immersive as possible, but the third person perspective is completely contrary to that philosophy. I don't know about you but when I play 3rd person shooters I feel alot more detached towards the character, and the horror genre is all about attachement. Not to mention, being able to see around and behind you brings a certain sense of security that's a bit out of place.

the resident evil ports have been truly awful on PC, and silent hill has yet to be ported (though i believe the new one has been). im not much of a 3rd person gamer to be frank.

The scariest game of all time would have to be Silent Hill 2 for the playstation 2. If Doom 3 makes you jump, SH2 will make you tinkle.

Silent 2 is ok..but the monsters sucked. Their animation was weak and unrealistic. If you really want a scary game, pick up the Resident Evil remake for the Gamecube..
