Poll Which creates more tension and a greater sense of peril: 3rd or 1st person perspective? (55 votes)
I'm a bit of a wuss, and find that I'm much more distressed by malicious forces when playing games with a third-person perspective, such as The Last of Us, Gears of War (hated the berserker in the first one) and even Ico (just let us hold hands in peace!). On the other hand, in games like Condemned, the first-person perspective lends a sense of claustrophobia, because the violent psychopaths marauding around the levels obviously weren't providing enough tension by themselves... So which is it for you guys?
