So, now that I done out the information. Who picked up the game? I got it and it is one of the best games I have played all this gen. It is literally incredible on all standards. Within the first fifteen minutes I cried, it has that much emotion.

We can share our thoughts on the game here.

Generally, I take some extra time off around Halloween.  Like to watch scary movies and play scary games with the Halloween decorations up.  In the dark with the Halloween lights on or flashing, my Haunted Houses / ship collection glowing and playing their eerie noises.  Window open, with the cool fall breeze blowin through the house.  My homemade scarecrows right outside the window, lit up by the lights in the yard, cuz it gets dark so early around that time.  So, you get the atmosphere I like for these games.

Question is, as the topic suggested, what are good scary games (preferably for 360) that also scared you?

Mine are easy:

#1 The Suffering for the original Xbox.  This game freaked me out.  Specially the parts where you could hear things running but not see them in the dark.  Plus it was just a cool game, fun game.  Very underrated...you just don't hear about this game.

#2 DOOM 3.  Ok, this game freaked me out more than any other.  Horrible noises.  Then you'd walk by and something would scream and jump out at you.  However, did not like the game that great.  Was strictly a 1st person shooter.  Just run around shooting things, not much else to do.

3# Dark Sector.  This game is AWESOME.  Especially cuz this was one of the $5 games.  Now, not really scary.  A couple anxious parts when it was dark and the zombie / monster things would come after you.  Overall though, this was a really fun game.

There are a bunch of others, Jericho, Manhunter (I think), some were fun, but none got me as excited as the ones above, so just picked 3 to write about.

So again...What games that you have liked have also scared you?  I'd like to get some recommendations for some new games for Halloween this year!

A few off the top of my head:
Silent Hill (ps1)
Clock Tower (ps1)
Splatterhouse (sega genesis)
Chiller (nes)

Download a program called Youtube Ripper (don't worry, it's free).  Once you've installed it, open and select the "convert" tab.

Find the mp4 video file you wish to convert.

Under "convert to", select "manual conversion" and press the red "convert video" button.

A new window will pop up.  On the bottom line, at the very end, you'll see the following:

-ac 1 %2.mp4

Change this to:

-ac 2.mp4

Hit your "enter" key.   A command prompt window will pop up.  Hit your "enter" key again.

Bam.  Done.  You've just changed the audio output to stereo, and your Xbox 360 can now play the mp4 video file.  I discovered this a few days ago and have already converted well over a hundred mp4 video files, and they now play perfectly on my Xbox 360.

I loved the first one and the demo for this one had me twitching about like a mexican jumping bean! lol

It's going to be a few weeks before i get my grubby mitts on a copy so i need to live vicariously through you guys until then!

Has anyone played this yet? I dunno if I want to or not, need input hummm thanks

This... is going to be awesome. Even tho I've got all the comics AND the compendiums (Vol 2 is on it's way), I'm still getting this.

The game (lag/glitches aside) is amazing, and the comic speaks for itself. I'd say it's a must get for any Walking Dead fan.

Doesn't have to be horror, but what movie or tv show do you think would make a cool game?  How would you have it done?

Burn Notice -- I can see this excellent TV show as a Grand Theft Auto-type video game.  Burned spy Michael Westen pulls odd jobs for people in need while trying to find out who burned him, why he was burned, and how to get his old job and life back.

Psych -- this could be done like the very good Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper game.  You're Shawn Spencer, raised by a cop father to by hyper observant with genius-level deductive reasoning.  And you're also a smart ass. With the help of your best buddy and straight man Gus, you,  the gamer, have to uncover unnoticeable clues, and link them together to find the culprit.  Suffice to say, there would have to be a pineapple involved in every case.

Friday the 13th -- Unlike the really shitty NES game from back in the day (which I still have, incidentally), and despite it being based on a -- let's face it -- cheesy movie series, this has potential to be a very cool, splattery, creepy game.  You're Jason Voorhees, a super strong mongoloid with one single objective -- to punish those who killed your mother.  A crime which you, in your own "retarded Hulk" way, basically attribute to anybody who falls into your direct line of sight.  This game could be the next Manhunt as you are given a wide variety of methods to execute your victims.  But you have to be quiet and cunning -- if you give yourself away or if the victim's "fright meter" gets too high, they get away -- and you lose.  Of course this kind of gaming platform would also lend itself quite well to a "Halloween" game.

Gran Torino -- You're Walt, a mean, unneighborly Korean War veteran who hates anything not white or American.  Until you make reluctant friends with the Hmongs next door, then decide to take action when they're victimized by a local gang.  Your goal in the game is to rid the neighborhood of the gang, Death Wish style, while tooling around in your mint Gran Torino.

The Fog -- you're Stevie Wayne, DJ and weather reporter for a small, oceanside village.  You notice an unnatural fog creeping in that doesn't appear on the radar.  You call your buddy at the radar station and hear him murdered over the phone.  You take action and investigate his murder, only to find others in town are being killed in various grizzly ways, as well.  You probe deeper and deeper, until you discover the true secret of the fog, and what it's going to take to stop it.  Like the movie, this game could work on atmosphere alone.  I'm thinking a Silent Hill kind of approach; a misty, haunting town, but instead of ghostly apes and other animals lingering in the mist, it's leperous ghosts, and they want YOU.

Silly fellow that I am I think of this kind of crap all the time.  I watch a movie I like and it just happens: "I wonder what kind of video game this would make?"

How about you?
