Scary-ass games
These games either scared the hell out of me or like any good survival horror game does best, have a intense and dark atmosphere that makes you alert at all times... here are the games that spooked me this year!

Even though I only watched Hamster's Let's Play in it's entirely, I was still feeling the atmosphere and the intense and thrilling experience of him hiding from monsters and the atmosphere in that game proves to be quite a haunting one. From a unknown developer to me, I might say this is quite a horror game that doesn't utilize the use of weaponry and takes the conventions of old-school horror games and the useful physics engine and mixes it into a hell of a game.

Being in the most disappointing category of this year with everything I said about it's jankyness. Deadly Premonition features not only a insane storyline but a insane atmosphere that feels like David Lynch's wet dream. I mean, seriously when Zack/Francis Morgan go to the otherworld, it feels Silent Hill-like but when you mix these two worlds together like having the town of Greenvale in the fked up world as you high-tail your ass around the town by running in the street whilst avoiding those freaks and following a girl with a red dress goes into being a psychological experience for me even though I watched the two Endurance Runs. Though even the real Greenvale spooks the hell out of me because of it being so wide and the way that people drive in the town. Also the fact that it's like Se7en with it having a psychopath torturing and killing a victim in the scariest way possible and having to find that the psychopath was next to you the whole time...

Like Amnesia, I decided to watch a series of walkthroughs of this game and was sucked into the atmosphere like that game. The game plays pretty much like STALKER with it's post-apocalyptic world, atmosphere, mutated creatures, first-person and being set in the Motherland. And like STALKER, the horror aspects also plays on you like a broken toy.

Man.. I'm on the roll with Russian-themed games or games set in Russia. Like Metro 2033, of having creepy creatures/enemies and a twist plot - this game has a case of being dark with the places you go to and the fact that it plays into Bioshock's arsenal and tone.

Undead Nightmares DLC. While it plays as a parody to zombie survival horror games, the zombies just felt scary and it's like 28 Days Later of not being slow-ass zombies. Also that the ammo is sparse in the game resulting John to use the torch/maybe lasso often in my playthrough. I didn't enjoy the main game but this DLC is alright.
