[Trivial Psychic]

I haven't played too many survival horror games as of late, but here are some I did enjoy, again, in no specific order.

1. Condemned (XB360): The level in the department store was simply unsettling for me the first go around. Play this one in the dark, with a set of headphones and I guarantee you will jump.

2. Manhunt (Xbox): This one used to make me feel emotionally and mentally drained after an hour or so. It's not a terrible game at all, in fact...it's really good. In fact, one of the better games that Rockstar has ever put out. The manner in which you are constantly stalking and viciously dispatching your prey really wears on you after a bit, and you will sometimes find yourself looking at the screen like "I can't believe I just did that..."

3. Resident Evil (PS1): The dog scene in the beginning, the first time you meet the hunters, and your encounter with Neptune really sticks in my head. I remember yelling at the TV in terror.

4. Friday the 13th (NES): Yep...I'm serious. This is one of my favorite survival horror games of all time. Harder than hell, and not a whole lot to it, but trying to kill Jason is nerve-wracking when he randomly shows up, and especially when you are exploring dark cabins to light fireplaces, or searching for his cabin in the woods. It makes for a cheap boo moment that'll make you jump in place or yell at your TV. The constant sound of your fellow counselors and children being attacked as you try to find better tools to battle Jason with is places a constant stress on you, forcing you to decide to whether to spare the victim, or sacrifice them to better your character. And like most other games in the early NES era, the ending to this one will piss you off after your hard work, but will give you an intense amount of satisfaction. I have this and still play this one on my phone.

Also...DOGE controlling all the switches that make the town run. Best Silent Hill ending ever...
