I agree with you on that.
Silent Hill has some amazing lighting and particle effects given its platform. Its atmosphere is tremendous even today. I just wish the gameplay was actually fun.
>I like the Hellraiser evil hell otherworld from 1 and 3 the best, the creepiest by far.
I definitely got that Clive Barker feel from the original SH.
>I don't know how Fatal Frame would either.
Well I've got FF1 and FF2 on Xbox, FF3 of course on PS3. I remember trying FF1 many years ago, but I quit playing because I couldn't figure out where to go or what to do. It is "cryptic" as you describe. I still think the base concept for the FF games is cool. And don't forget about the 3DS FF,
Spirit Camera. I should definitely play that this October. Should be goofy fun with all its AR stuff.
>I'm not even sure what the "scariest" game I've played would be.
The Lost Crown wouldn't be the scariest I've played, just that I've played lately. I think the most freaked out I ever got with a game, was playing the original
Thief back around ~2001. The two missions where you deal with the Cathedral, just creeping around in the dark with all the various ghosts and monsters. I don't know if it would scare me today, but 16 some odd years ago that was some spooky stuff.
