As October approaches the desire to play horror games gets stronger and stronger. I've already got a few lined up which I may start as early as September, but any suggestions from the community would be good. I personally love Silent Hill 2, but I've never beaten any of the others in the series. Most likely I'll replay SH2, but I'm also going to try and beat 1 and 3, to see if I like either of them as much as 2. No game I've ever played creates the same atmosphere that Silent Hill 2 does, be it the areas shrouded in fog or the fantastic sound design. Also, with Silent Hills over the horizon (hopefully we'll get a release date soon), I thought it would be a good time to go back and attempt the other entries in the series (the most acclaimed that is). I've always been interested in Shattered Memories as well, but I've never found it at a store so I may have to order it online. It got mixed reviews but from what I've read it seems like it may be slightly underrated, I'll have to decide for myself.

I had all but given up on finding games that actually scared me before I played PT. Now that I've tried it and found it genuinely terrifying, it reignited my love for horror games. Other games I'm thinking of trying are any of the Siren games (probably Blood Curse), and any of the Fatal Frame games. Since these are all on PSN (I think) it won't be hard to get my hands on them. Just for the record, I'm NOT going to play the Silent Hill HD Collection, because from what I can tell it's complete garbage. It'll have to be Amazon and my dusty PS2 for Silent Hill 2 and 3. Fatal Frame's concept seems really interesting to me (your only means of defense is a camera, if I recall correctly), so hopefully those will freak me out a bit. Siren: Blood Curse is a bit of a wild card, as I'm not sure how fondly it's regarded, but who knows, maybe it's been overlooked. I'll probably start in the next week or so because I need to leave myself a long time frame. Because I'll be starting school, and still be playing WoW, it will be difficult to make much progress in other games. My hope is that once I start a Silent Hill game, I won't be able to put it down and won't even think about WoW, but we'll see if that's actually the case. Now that I think about it, I may try and marathon Silent Hill today, but no promises there. If I do manage to complete it though, I'll post thoughts this evening, or maybe tomorrow morning.

So my question for everyone is, what horror games do you recommend, and which Fatal Frame or Siren game is the best, in your opinion?
