My mom hates Dead Space 2. I found it really funny because her reactions were like the moms in the commercials. Anyone else got a mom that hates Dead Space 2?

You want a real scary game then get Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
My friend has both and he agrees that Amnesia is the scariest game EVER. Even more so than silent hill and those other games, and alot of people agree.

I might consider getting it. Thanks. But out of all my "horror" games I have I believe F.E.A.R. has to be among my favorite then Dead Space 2.

I have to go for Amnesia, sorry

Different horror style, it's an INDIE game, and hey, dude, it's £13.

Get it.

FEAR was a good game, but wait till you play FEAR2, hehehehe, there are flying dead bodies, random swingsets, teddybears, etc.

When I was young, games looked like this:

So I never really had the problem you're describing.

And yeah, as they said before, check out Amnesia. A few trailers on YouTube should be enough to make FEAR and Dead Space look like a kid's game in comparison.

Games are only scary because of 3 elements. Lighting, sounds, and your own fear. Games and movies that people find scary, i dont and no one watches or plays scary movies or games with me because i tear them apart by pointing out everything that is wrong. Lol!

Why are you trying to annoy your mother? That can only end badly, right?

Anyway, the key to Horror is Psychology. Some of the key strengths of Amnesia are:

1. A scary dark. bad things happen there, and you are reminded of it in a menu. You pass out if you stay there too long, but it's your only solace from the monsters.

2. You don't see the monsters very often. And thus you fear them more becuase you know so little about them.

3. A chilling plotline of human sacrifice.

But I would say sound often has a part to play because, unlike graphics and 3D modelling, sounds are much easier to replicate in high quality. Hell, even Minecraft's Zombies freak me out. Badly. Whcih is why I play on peaceful.

i have Amnesia the dark decent. it is by far the scariest game to play. if you do decide to go and buy it, i suggest that you play on a dark night with the door open and the blinds closed.

Dead Space 2 wasn't really as scary for me because I guess I already knew what some of the Necromorphs do. SO by trial and error I came up with the perfect strategy to kill about every one I see. But the game can still make you insane.

Usually, my mom never cares. Usually, I buy my own games... and they're M-games, and Dead Space 2, yeah... she really doesn't care. Well, at least she bought me my Wii and Xbox 360...
