Project Zero and Eternal Darkness are both great. Project Zero 2 and 3 are out of this world.

All other survival horror games I've played have been boring. The pre-RE4 Resident Evils? Not scary in the least, and the terrible controls make them a pain in the ass to play. The Silent Hill games? I could use them as sleep-aid, and the "amazing narratives" are, as in practically all games with supposedly amazing narratives, absolute horseshit.

I'm not counting games like Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space as survival horror, by the way.

Resident Evil Remake for the GameCube is awesome. Resident Evil Zero is cool too.

Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space. Oh, and the REmake. I don't play a lot of survival horror games, but RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time, even if it has much less focus on horror. I still think it counts.

Amnesia, anything by frictional games really. 
 
Fear is the induced emotion when you are defenseless or can't do anything. This is where Frictional games takes off because your characters aren't super hardcore badasses with guns that can kill every monster you find. They are weaklings who will die in about One-Two hits. You are also defenseless meaning you have to run from every fight or try sneaking around the monsters. 
 
After playing one of their games I felt that all other horror games weren't real horror games. Yes they had scary parts but when it came to combat you were more then well equipped to combat them.
 
But I do still enjoy the Silent Hill series or the Early Resident Evil stuff.

The older PS1 and PS2 Silent Hill games (1,2,3). Lately, I've been finding Amnesia: The Dark Descent very good (got it off steam during the sale). Provides some great atmosphere and good scares. I also didn't mind the PS3 Siren game. Fatal Frame 2 is another good one, although it started getting really repetitive about half way through.

I would say that if you're playing the Pc version against real people playing as the zombies LFD2 is the scariest game out there. The xbox live versus is extremely sub par.

System Shock 2 -  Just a generally amazing game all around. In terms of horror, if I were to pick a standout 'moment', it would be the audio logs; the voice acting was great and the logs really gave you a sense of what happened and how each character reacted in the situation.
Amnesia - It doesn't get any scarier than this, well, at least until Frictional's next game. I think they absolutely nailed the sense of horror here - I was having nightmares even before I encountered a single enemy.
Penumbra 1 and 2 - The second and third scariest games (pity the third Penumbra game wasn't that scary or, in fact, any good =/). I did like the Penumbra story more than Amnesia's story.
Cryostasis - I've been informed that this was supposed to be a scary game, but I didn't find it scary at all (ok, a couple of parts were kind of scary...). Regardless, if we're classing this as horror then it would be on my list, not because it was scary, but because of the story. This would definitely be up there with some of the most interesting story telling in any game.
Dead Space - Once again, not particularly scary, in fact, I think they completely botched the horror in this game. However, I think it was still a really enjoyable and well designed game (I've played through it twice and I'm considering a third playthough before the sequel is released.)

Yeah I felt the same way but I think what it was was that when they made the game they thought they needed something new to sell the game with. The reason I liked the game was because it was so much like the RE remake on the gamecube all the new stuff they added just got in the way. I'm really hopping they stopped making REs like 5 and go back to the old way.

Go back to the old way of tedious shit gameplay? Great idea, I'm sure Capcom would love to stop receiving critical acclaim. 
 
RE4 was the first good game in that previously awful series. Capcom needs to keep the course. The only problem with them is that they're not scary whatsoever. But when games are that great, who gives a shit?

Silent Hill Shattered Memories is pretty good, especially when you're running and suddenly a monster catches up with you and static noise is blasting out of the Wii Remote and ohGODgetthemoffofme.
 
There were a fair few decent horror games on the PS2; the first two Siren games were pretty interesting, and I enjoyed Clock Tower 3 and Haunting Ground/Demento too.

Looks like this kid hates personal opinions, umadbro? I didn't say RE4 was bad but I am willing to say RE5 was total crap. As for RE of the past, I love them.

Silent Hill 1-4 and Shattered Memories
Resident Evil 1-4 + RE0 and REmake
Fatal Frame 1 and 2
Eternal Darkness 
Dead Space (though I consider it more 'action-horror', but whatever)
Can't think of anything else at the moment, but these are definitely my favorite horror games. And nothing will ever top Silent Hill 2.
Also, I did not include RE5 not because I don't like it, it's actually one of my favorite games of all time and I've played through it about 16 times, but rather because it's a third person shooter. Just because it has the title "Resident Evil" does not mean it's trying to be a horror game. That game is just straight up action.

The old Resident Evil games are fucking great. End of story. The first Silent Hill is my favorite out of the series, but I also really love 2, Homecoming, and what I played of Shattered Memories (which I should really go back and finish some time soon. 3 is alright, 4 I did not care for, and Origins I have never played.
 
Alone in the Dark 4 was a pretty excellent and exceptionally creepy survival horror game. 
ObsCure 1 and 2 for the PS2 are also good fun, especially with a friend. I would like to see that series continue on modern consoles.
 
I have not yet played the full game of Amnesia, which I bought during the Steam holiday sales, but the demo was super intense and way scarier than I was expecting it to be, so I'm looking forward to playing the full thing. I also picked up the Penumbra pack, which I started but haven't gotten far in. Like it a lot so far, though. Frictional has a real knack for making great horror games.

Dead Space probably scared me the most. The scene at the beginning of the game where you walk into a hallway and you see on the other side a dude back to you hitting hgis head against the wall still haunts my dreams

Deadly Premonition is the closest thing to a horror game I have ever seen more then 10 minutes of and didn't get bored. I played all of RE 5 one afternoon, but I didn't like it.

System Shock 2, Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4 stick out in my mind as excellent survival horror games.

Although I agree with this I cannot discredit other good survival horror games like Dead Space, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., & Fatal Frame 2. But definitely my 1st experience with the 1st Silent definitely was the scariest ever.
