| Topic | Your favourite horror game series? |

Back when I still did, early RE games and Fatal Frame were probably a toss up for which managed to creep me out more. Though the original Clock Tower released in the US (aka Clock Tower 2 in Japan) is a very close third. DeltaBladeX posted... There were a lot of game series that couldn't fit. I tried to include games that I believe were focused on being scary. Ones with more focus on the action, like FEAR (scary at times, sure, but mostly typical FPS), didn't make it to the poll list. It's kind of a truism that if you can shoot back at the monsters, it takes a lot of the horror out of the horror. Early RE kind of bypassed this by having terrible controls, so even though you COULD theoretically shoot at zombies, you were never entirely sure if it was going to work. That, combined with limited ammo and healing led to the feeling of helplessness that's sort of required to really make a horror game scary. That's also why RE7 was majorly successful at reviving the flagging franchise mostly by giving you constantly reoccurring monsters you really CAN'T fight most of the time, so a lot of the game involves running away in terror. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
