Article:  Top 7 Scary Video Games To Play This Halloween

The author of this article lists the top 7 scary Halloween games you may want to play this Halloween as follow:

1.  Resident Evil:  The first Resident Evil game, which she says was different from the shooter zombies games the current Resident Evil game has morphed to. She described the first game as a "survival horror" game.

2.  Dead Space:  Dead Space, available on the Xbox 360, where reanimated aliens chase down the crew of a mining ship.

3.  System Shock 2:  A game similar to Bioshock. There are lots of monstrous enemies, which may include the character you are trying to protect.  On top of that, you have limited ammo.

4   Silent Hill 2:  The author is highlighting the second series, since she says is the scariest, with lots of dark spaces, and a few flashlights and limited weapons.

5.  Amnesia:  The Dark Descent:  In this PC game, the character has lost all memory, and is trying to regain it while exploring a twisted, nightmare castle.

6.  Doom 3 (pictured above):  This game is an action packed shooter for the PC and Mac.  In addition to having lots of scary sounds, sometimes you have to choose between a weapon and a flashlight as your only source of light.

7.  Fatal Frame III. The main character has dreams that eventually become more real  where ghosts abound.

Here are pictures for the video games.

Of course, you may have your own list of the top 7 scary video games.  With so many video games available, I'm sure there are quite a number that would fall into the scary category!

Ms. H's take:  Of the games listed above, the one I played not too long ago was Dead Space.  I believe I played the demo, so the part I played did not seem scary to me.

I am a little surprised to see a WII game listed in the scary category.  The author states this game (Fatal Frame III) is more of a psychological thriller instead of an outright frightful video game! 

Maybe you have a favorite game you plan to play on Halloween.  If you do not yet have one, there are still a few days to get a game before the bewitching hours begin on October 31!

Happy pre-Halloween everyone!
