These games will inflict some fear
While I'm not a huge fan of the horror game genre, even I can appreciate the value of a well-timed fright. Some games though... they try a little too hard to scare the pants right off of you. The faint-hearted should turn back now, but fearless souls venture forth. You've been warned. Here are 5 video games that will give you nightmares, or your money back.
1. Silent Hill 2
Even if you've never played a single Silent Hill game, odds are you've heard of Pyramid Head. Brave
as you may be, you have to admit that you wouldn't want to be in any dream where he's chasing you. Sure, the nurses can be creepy as hell, but they don't hold a candle to the nightmare fuel that is Pyramid Head. For that reason alone, you're sure to have a nightmare or two about Silent Hill 2.
2. Clock Tower 3
Can't really think of anything more frightening than playing a game in which you don't have an
effective way of defending yourself. Big scary guy chasing you? Too bad! Better hide. This stealth horror games are like a game of hide and seek gone horribly, horribly wrong. Hope you love to run and hide, because you'll be doing that a lot, should you ever have a dream about Clock Tower 3, or any Clock Tower game, for that matter.
3. Alien Isolation
Humans have been getting mixed up with aliens for years. The aliens are pissed, and they aren't
gonna take it anymore. In Alien Isolation, you're up against a threat you can't really kill. Sure, you can scare them away, for a while. Then they come back... They always do. The only reason that this game might
not give you nightmares is because you'll be too afraid the aliens will crawl from your heating duct that you won't even sleep.
4. Five Nights at Freddy's
Imagine trying to survive the night at a restaurant while animatronic demons (for lack of a better
word) are trying to kill you. Now imagine doing that for minimum wage. One night at Freddy's and I'd be at my local McDonald's filling out an application. It doesn't matter which Five Nights at Freddy's you're talking about. All of them have an equal chance of injecting a strong dose of nightmare into your nightly sleep cycle. You'll never look at Chuck E. Cheese the same way again.
5. Outlast
I have to give my respects to the main character of Outlast. This guy is completely dedicated to his video camera, like there's some sort of weird relationship going on there. I mean, the guy can get his
fingers chopped off and stare death right in the face, and then be like "Oops. Can't forget the camcorder." Outlast is another game in which you're unable to defend yourself, just run and hide from a bunch of insane Silence of the Lamb sort of people. This game will give you nightmares like no other. Every moment with this game will raise your stress level with no problem.
Why did I even write this post? Thinking about all these scary-ass games is going to give me nightmares tonight. Thanks a lot, brain, for making me think "Hey, you remember all those terrifying, nightmare-inducing horror games from your past?"Jerk.
