These need to be longer for certain games. Like Silent Hill 2 is all about atmosphere... if you play it for like 15 minutes... you're not gonna get anything out of it.

[TheRealGiantBomb]

@creamypies Yup, we'll go longer once the fear factor ramps up.

[hedfonezz]

holy shit the end :O!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bloodzport]

you didnt even get to the skeletons on motorcycles.

[zucht100]

the only thing that its miss is the classic music

[samcwic]

To be honest, I think Luigi's Mansion has better atmosphere.

[Krykanubis]

you know, this game doesnt actually look THAT terrible.

[moeezS]

Jumping is always faster than running, that's what I've learned from videogames.

[totalrocked]

anyone notice the cum stain on his shirt?

[DanielVonRommel]

@kikook222 I call bull, that only makes games annoying and limited. Atmosphere is everything, go play Stalker.

[PimblyCharles]

I think that was the Konami ghost haunting your illegally downloaded ROM of Castlevania 64 at the end.

[kikook222]

@creamypies Actually the real fear of any game isn't the atmosphere (it just ampifies the terror) it's actually the limited ability to defeat enemies. Games like Silent Hill are scary just because you know you can die at any moment and you will have to restart. Think about it, is Silent Hill Home Coming scary? Dead Space? Fear? No it's because you can properly kill enemies. Also think about a level of a game where you died 100 times and you're about to beat it, you get the same terror of dying.

@creamypies

Didn't go nearly long enough for F.E.A.R., which is a game that starts out as basically a military shooter.
