I still think the best bit of Half Life is the very beginning.

You go to work on a train through essentially a Bond villain's lair and wander around.

Imagine a CERN employee simulator.

I'd play that for months (especially if I worked at CERN).

Super Hardon Collider? [sic]

Got stuck in Black Mesa, haven't gone back to it. Probably just missed a door or something - I escorted a guy to a security room, Not sure where to go now..Gotta get into the half-life frame of mind.

Got doom 3 BFG edition. I wasn't expecting much - still disappointing.

It does run better but a lot of the textures are still blurry as hell [pun not intended] - even at max resolution with the effects maxed out.

I got it mostly for the expansion packs and the original games. The doom 3 campaign just gets boring in the middle. also, it was cheap.

Currently I'm trying to finish off Skyrim before Halo 4 comes out. I've done 2 of the 3 main quests, I think ?I just need to kill a few dragons now and ?I'll be done.

Just got the Sega Dreamcast fishing rod accessory with Sega Bass Fishing and Sega Marine Fishing. Hoping to try this out tonight! I was never one to own accessories but the Dreamcast just has so many of them I can't resist.

Sesta?

Well that's disappointing. I was browsing OT.com on my Xbox (which is weird) but it wouldn't let me post. =(

What is the most scary computer game?

I still have nightmares about Aliens on the Spectrum.

I have a number of horror based games which I haven't got around to playing yet.

Looking forward to the Forbidden Siren games but I want to finish the games I'm on before moving onto them.

Points for effort but that's just the wrong kind of scary sugar.

There's quite a lot of spooky games.

Amnesia, Slender, Alan Wake, Dead Space, I'd even toss Space Hulk in there.

These are all to varying degrees, of course, and I suppose it depends upon what kind of "scare" you mean.

This game scared me -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colonel's_Bequest

It's one of those old Sierra adventure games. An old timey murder mystery.

I remember being creeped out by point-and-click adventure games like Myst and Riddle of the Sphinx, as well.

The atmosphere in Super Metroid has always freaked me out, even to this day.

Both Legend of Zelda games for the N64 are creepy to varying degrees.

This is true. I forgot those.

A lot of Zelda games are really dark if you think about them.

Honestly I doubt the above was intentional but it's certainly a unique perspective that I can appreciate.

Yeah, a lot of them are like that, but still cool to think about.

They are cool, but they are all Nintendo brand oriented if I remember. I wish they would branch out. Nintendo brand exclusives for the most part bore me.
