Hmm...I ve played 8 of those listed, and here's my take and some more...
10) Undying - Each one of those in the portrait are pretty badasses to take out. And of course, the manor. One of the most eerie places to keep returning after every successful victory. The Howlers dont help at all. And the boss in the end is a tough SOB to kick butt. **SPOILER** It helps if you got the SkullStorm spell, and that too with plenty of amplifiers, cuz pretty much nothing else works. Definitely a game in which you ll keep turning over your shoulder to ensure you are alone in the room.
09) Alone in the Dark - The background score itself is enough to disturb anybody's sleep. Add to it the flashes of lightning which keep showing unknown images and shadows in an otherwise dark room, and you soon feel bugs in your tummy. An intensely creepy and atmospheric game.
08) Silent Hill 4: The Room - I got this game pretty late after it was released. Let me just say this without spoiling it for anyone who hasnt played it yet...play this one, and you ll remember it throughout your life.
07) Condemned - Havent played it yet.
06) Resident Evil - Oh! How I ll remember the night I was introduced to the RE series. I had an idea what was coming, but not this! The whole game, the combining of herbs, running around searching desperately for typewriters, running out of ammo when confronting a horde...and circulating continuously while confronting the final Boss...a classic.
05) Eternal Darkness - Bizarre. Thats the only word to sum up this one. It gets intensely creepier and creepier as the game progresses, and the end will have you scared shitless. One piece of advice...dont play this game alone.
04) Resident Evil 4 - Havent played it yet.
03) F.E.A.R. - This is one FPS I will never forget. And I am equally proud of owning it. The characters, the missions, the stages, and the girl...and that too crescendoing into an explosive and perfect climax. One of THE best endings in gaming history, IMO. Def my most favorite game of all time, till now.
02) Fatal Frame 2 - The first one literally had me sweating by the time I finished it. #2 took it one step further. I requested Mom to keep looking in again and again whenever I loaded it up, just to ensure I didnt faint in between. Definitely not for those who are weak of heart.
01) Silent Hill - The god of creepy atmospheric games. The original still haunts with its background score, ghost town, total claustrophobic inhabitation effect. If you feel thankful of finding a light when darkness looms, think again. the school yard, the class rooms, the voices, and the creatures...
They forgot to add Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Doom 3 & The Suffering to this list. Those 4 woulda have made it complete.
