Neither game is scary. I don't even see how Half Life can be considered to be scary. Dead Space isn't scary, it's 8 hours of loud noises and monsters bursting out of air vents. That's shocking, for the first half hour, but never scary.

Has anyone even played a game that literally scared them? I'm not talking jump scare, but literally made you feel uncomfortable in your seat and too afraid to go downstairs in the dark? Developers seem to think gore is enough to do this when it's not even close to being enough.
Doom 3... scared the living hell out of me when i was 16. Monsters popped out of secret walls and the majority of the game was dark so you had to choose to have your flashlight out or your weapon.
