I remembered that game i was on about earlier - an underated and underplayed 1st person shooter called Project Snowblind. The latter levels based in sewers made me jump a few times as shadows dashed passed you against the tight and atmospheric sewer walls! Such a bargain too, think i paid £10 new for it!
The only other game to make me jump this way was Resi 1, the infamous 'dog jumping through window scene'. I wasn't expecting it!
I never could get into Resident Evil 1 or 2, not because they were scary or anything, but because the controls are terrible. (holding two buttons just to aim?)
The voice acting doesn't help either.
I've played Silent Hill 1 to 4 on the PC, and I very much liked all of them. (part 4 being the least good but still good, and part 1 played on a PSX emulator =/ )
Resident Evil 3 was probably the only game that really scared me. Not because of the zombies or anything but cause of Nemesis. The stupid thing wouldnt die even after you unloaded tons of clips into him.
Besides that, re3 was alright. Re1 was the best though, story wise i mean. re2 was loong and also quite enjoyable. As for re4, I dont know. It was good but I think they're moving away from their classic gameplay. yes, the shooting was a pain, but they could have just changed that instead of totally changing the camera and engine. I liked the old engine better for some reason.
As for the silent hill games, they've never really scared me. Disturbed me perhaps, but never scared me. The 2nd SH, which is supposedly great, I didnt even play it more than once. For some reason, i found the story cheesy and stupid. especially when I got the guy with the green coat all the way to the end just to watch him commit suicide. SH1 and 3, I love though. And the movie; it was brilliant. Stayed true to its roots unlike the resident evil movies (which are crap btw).
Oh, the level on Half life 2 where there are tons of brain-thingies roaming around. That was scary. Im talking about the level in which the preacher-guy tosses you a shotgun.

lol bad ending
Seriously though, you're right about Silent Hill being more about disturbing the player. It doesn't have as much cheapo jump-scare moments as Resident Evil (a certain dog and a certain window come to mind)
"Ehhhhh?! Where did you hear that? Silicon Knights (the chaps who own the game) only make games for MS now."
It was an interview... on IGN about a year ago I think... Could be wrong. Maybe it was a just a beautiful dream. LOL! I'm gonna have to search for it now!
I would be more than happy with an Xbox version! It seem MS is buying up all the good developers, huh?

Definitely. That's a classic moment from Resident Evil 1 Hunters scared me though. They always killed me. Heck, even Chris was afraid of those things and he was laughing at Tyrant when Wesker unveiled it. Oh, I remember being sad when the nurse girl in SH1 turns into a nurse-zombie. The so-called god in SH3 was pretty disturbing in an awesome way As was pyramid head guy, especially in the movie.
"Ravenholm in half life 2 scared the crap out of me. But the preacher guy was really funny."
