The first F.E.A.R. game started off generally excellent, but got pretty repetitive around the middle part of the game. I didn't bother with the subsequent games, but I'm interested to see what F.E.A.R. 3 will be like with John Carpenter on board.

Doom 3 was another FPS game that started off brilliant, but then got a little tedious later on. Still the graphics were great at the time.

Manhunt was brilliant and very disturbing (though the dialogue was little cheesy). I didn't like Manhunt 2, just found it very boring and way less disturbing than the original.

The first Alone in the Dark back in 1992 was very good, though I played it there again and found the controls very cumbersome! The first two Silent Hill games were brilliant way back when. I'd also give a big thumbs up for Resident Evil 2, 3 and especially 4 (this on the Wii was one of the best games I've ever played).

I loved Evil Dead Fistful of Boomstick, sure, it had it's problems, but it was great fun. I never played the first game and Regeneration was so-so, not the game I was hoping for.

Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street for NES FTW! Awesome games, even though they have been bashed to death over the years. I can beat both WITHOUT the game genie, and yes... They are as hard as a T-Rex's turd. Also, I cannot believe no-one mentioned Splatterhouse! I mean cmon the guy even wears a hockey mask! LOL. And the new one for XBOX 360 is awesome, but still as hard as the originals. As for others, I own all the Resident Evils (1-4 and Code Veronica: X on Gamecube), and also own all of the Evil Dead games. If you haven't played the newest one, Regeneration, I highly recommend it. A great game with everything you love about the Evil Dead series spread throughout. Also love the Legacy of Kain series. Great idea for a post guys!

I'm not a big gamer, but I do like Manhunt and The Suffering a lot.

If you are into horror gaming , then check out Dead Space and the obligatory new Dead Space 2. Ultra-creepy, mega-violent shocking gameplay aboard an abandoned space ship. Both games are very well done. The terrifying atmosphere is so spot-on, you can almost feel it. In regards to the original post, I really think Resident Evil is the top dog franchise in this genre, however, #5 was a let down for me. Not very horrific to shoot African villagers for 15 hours in a row.

As crappy as the controls were I loved Evil Dead Hail to the King on PS. Great game, even greater movies!

The Thing game for PC had some great atmosphere. Though that was a bit action game.

My friend had one for the NES. I didn't like it at all, although it doesn't get bashed near as hard as F13. But, NOES was always more main stream anyway.

I play a good bit of games of all genres. Although God of War is my favorite series ever, I absolutely love the Legacy of Kain series (it's #2 on my list). I own every game in the series and badly want a ps3 version. Hell, I'd even take a 720p upgrade of the older ones ala God of War I and II for the ps3.

As far as adding to the list...... you forgot Friday the 13th for NES! I actually like that game and drug it out of storage about a month ago for a quick play through.

I can't believe I forgot Friday the 13th; I like it, too! I think there were some Nightmare on Elm Street games, but I could never find them. Another one: Zombies Ate My Neighbors. That was totally fun.

And my #1 favorite series of all time, ever:

Legacy of Kain: If friendly vampires are making you sick, there's no better cure than Kain, an undead nobleman with a foul temper and downright mean sense of humor. When Kain's simple quest for revenge ends with his allies dead and his world of Nosgoth spiraling into decay and madness, he (and fellow protagonist Raziel) must discover the source of the rot before it discovers- and kills- them. Vae victis!

Any other good ones?
