Yeah, I didn't find Doom 3 freaky scary but it was a fucking nightmare to play.

I still think Black is the most anxious game ever.
I used to nearly have panic attacks playing that through when you got to the end boss rooms and fuck loads of guys with shields came out and you had already run out of fucking grenades.

Indeed, a friend of mine did all of the first Hell section
Using just the chainsaw, but he was on XBox and so had no aim to speak of.

Playing Doom with headphones on in a dark room could be pretty immersively terrifying
Or "Immerifying".

It's really not.
Unless you're a pussy like my brother who got freaked out by the end of Uncharted 1 because of the weird spanish zombie things.

Dead Space is the same
It's 'Boo' horror rather than psychological (see Silent Hill). And the fact that enemies are killable and don't respawn makes a second run more about keeping things tight, tense like a TF2 match rather than tense like you're about to be eaten.

Silent Hill 2 was love.
I'm just enjoying shredding limbs right now. The initial "what the fuck" has gone and the fun kicked in.
