Are Games Scary Enough?

Jim Rossignol writes: "Recently I've been lucky enough to get my hands on EA's upcoming "survival/horror shooter" Dead Space, and the experience has set me thinking.

There are a few jumps here and there, and the mutants you stomp into splattered viscera really are repugnant, but I've nevertheless ended up thinking about how rarely contemporary games manage to evoke the emotion that the genre often does best: Fear."

Resident Evil 1 on the GC, Resident Evil 2, and Silent Hill 1,2,3 are probably the only games that really scare me anymore. Resident Evil 4 gave me some pretty good scares on the first run through, especially with the regenerators and their breathing in the background, creepy stuff

Vampire: Bloodlines. Haunted house level. It's by far the scariest level I've ever played in a game. I wish more people had played it.

I had an issue after one update where the game looked muted like a filter was on. It had not been there before and after years I playing just fine I deleted it when all the usual fixes did not work and got their usual nothing support response.

Remember last year a division 2 update had to be pulled because it corrupted there own servers.
