Considering that this is October, I tend to have the urge to play horror games with the lights turned off, surround sound up, and occasionally have a couple friends watching (one of them usually freaks out when I play these types of games).

Basically I'm doing the same thing this year, but I'm running out of ideas. I've already played Silent Hill: Homecoming and I'm currently playing Dead Space for the third time. So what other horror games are available for the Xbox 360, the only console I have?

The only game I can think of is Condemned. RE looks less scary with every release....

Silent Hill: Homecoming might if you're a pussy.
Dead Space isn't really scary even though it is very atmospheric.
Condemned 1+2 are scary to an extent, 1 is probably alot more scary than the 2nd.

That game was really disappointing compared to the first two SH games. Especially the original mindfuck.

Dead Space isn't really scary even though it is very atmospheric.

It had its moments the first time I played through it. The atmosphere was pretty cool, but wasn't as scary as I hoped it would be (still entertaining, and had its moments like I said)

Condemned 1+2 are scary to an extent, 1 is probably alot more scary than the 2nd.

Just played the demo for the first one, and that is pretty scary (maybe since it has pretty realistic comba/gameplay and good graphics). Definitely caught me off-guard a couple times. Most likely gonna get it for $25 or less the next time I stop by my game store.

The 2nd one is good, but it's a real fucking letdown...

Call of Chtulu. It's an Xbox original, but it should work on your 360.

Don't get Dead Space, or Homecoming, and get Condemned 2 for cheap, the last half of the game is bullshit.

My PSN ID is xscoot. Crazy, huh?

Probably from Black Lake Lodge onwards is total shit.
But on the other hand, the rest of the game is excellent.

Sure, so you can glitched out about half way through.

Stupid piece of fucking shit, it's broken.

I've made my mind up, there's going to be trouble.

Dead Rising is one of the best Zombie games I've ever played,
left 4 dead is too action packed for me, not saying its a bad game, I just preffer zombies to be kept within George A Romero's fashion style, slow but in their millions...

If I ever became a ganster, I wouldnt go anywhere without Spartan Armour and a freakin Mini-Gun, man! I gotta protect myself!

I'm too scared to play Condemned 2.

Because one of the achievements can glitch, and you'll keep getting it over and over so your GS goes really fucking high, and then MS has to reset your achievements, which I wouldn't be able to handle.

Dude, Dead Rising and L4D aren't scary, they're just zombie games.
Dead Space isn't that scary also, only got freaked out once in the beginning.

It's also too early to tell if the Saw game is gonna be awesome or shit, so I dunno.

All you have to know is that the combat sucks and it can get repetitive at times. That's all

It is really hard to find a scary horror games these days because as players, we tend to go into those games with a "KILL!" "KILL!" "KILL!" attitude, But when I play dead rising I try to put my own scary custom music in the background to set the mood a little.

I must have balls of steel then. FEAR games were, just, laughable. I understand what they were trying to do yet it always felt horrible to play. Especially on the X-Box 360 when the control scheme was against you.

In terms of games to scare you...Well, if you're easily scared, pick up Silent Hill Homecoming. There's some crazy monsters (that, unlike other Silent Hill games, make no fucking sense) and crazy enviroments. Sure, it's not deep enough to make you claw your eyes out in fear, but if you lack balls it'll give you a kick.

I've made my mind up, there's going to be trouble.
