Scariest Game you Played this Year

[JudgeDredd]

Isn't that the one that's like (or based on or something) Dead Island?

[Grimnirsson]

No, I have both and ZombiU is different. Dead Island is a coop shooter RPG-like game, fun but with a completely different atmosphere and not nearly as scary.

[BanzaiCat]

Dead Island is kind of tongue-in-cheek. I don't know if I love it or hate it...I've only played it in single-player mode, though.

If we're talking scariest game we've ever played, did anybody else play "Dark Seed"?  Gave me the heebie jeebies somethin' fierce!

I remember there being a Headless Horseman in Skyrim somewhere. I think it was connected to one of the shipwrecks. Not that scary but cool.

Dark Seed was a scary game. The scene that sticks in my mind is when mechanical fingers separated the skin on my character's forehead and inserted...something. There were many spooky scenes. I bought the DOS version in the early 90s. I haven't played it in many years and don't know how it would hold up.

Yeah, I saw that as well. As you say, whilst not scary, it was quite creepy.

The deveolopers of Dying Light are the same ones who created Dead Island.

I'm not getting Dying Light without a discount. 30 dollah or less.

In the meantime I will play Shadow of Mordor. Haven't played it in months.

Yeah I played that on the Amiga.  Awesome game, but the time limit was quite harsh as I recall and I never did finish it.  Splendid atmosphere.

You've gotten farther than I did, Judge!

Still haven't gotten back to A:I, but in my defense I've been taking my time enjoying my last-playthrough-for-the-foreseeable-future of Arkham City. Will probably try going back to A:I before Halloween, as I plan to be done with AC this weekend, in time for the hopeful re-release of Arkham Knight and (more importantly) its various DLC mini-campaigns later this year (with particular interest in the Batgirl vs. Joker, and the Hood vs Black Mask stories).

Also still vaguely planning to get GJK's vassal port of Blood Bowl working on my Surface. I want to play, but I've been awfully spoiled by having Focus' port keeping track of everything for me.  :-[

[JasonPratt]

Alien 3 is not in my top ten. But I still enjoy it.

Ditto. Not as much as A4; and the only reason I'd watch either of them is for the sake of working through the series, but still.

Has anyone tried playing the two DLC missions from the original movie (and original cast) yet?

Good lord, Gus, we go through 5 pages of talking about scary games and THAT is what you end up with?  You slay me, BRAH.   

[Toonces]

Wow, ZombiU sounds pretty freaking awesome.  Any chance that's coming to PC?  Didn't sound like it on Kotaku.

[Gusington]

Have you played it, Commander? It's very good. Or you could give me another suggestion...
