Several of you have been having this very discussion over on Geeks recently. There have been so many different games thrown out there that there doesn’t appear to be a clear-cut “winner” for scariest video game. I decided to ask some others what they thought about this. What’s your take? What game do you feel is the scariest?

lbutlr: Scariest Video game. 3rd party wad for Bungie's Marathon .. very dark, monsters lurking around corners, marathon. Very scary

BayleeBlue: The scariest video game I've ever played was BioShock. Just thinking about it still gives me the creeps.

damondnollan: I would say the scariest game I've played is Resident Evil. I typically played it at night..alone…in the dark.
