Half Life 2 is amazing. The only "scary" part, I suppose, would be Ravenholm. I hear the PS3 port is garbage, though.
Only played on 360 so don't know. Shame they don't know how to finish it though.
I played it on my laptop. Only a 17 inch screen, but it was excellent. I think I lost interest somewhere close to the end of Episode 2.
Don't get the PS3 version.
Five games? And it's only £14 on Amazon. That's incredible.
That's the only console I've got Lance. Is it really that bad on PS3?
I think they released patches anyway, although I don't know how much effect they had in dealing with any bugs.

It's really your call, but apparently the frame rate issues render the game unplayable at times. Apparently, the version of Portal has no such issues, which is a good thing.
Too bad. Well I just bought Bioshock and Dead Space... should keep me busy for a while :-)
The Bioshock soundtrack is outstanding!
The reports of the Orange box being unplayable at times on the PS3 are a bit harsh, it's not THAT bad! It's just a last resort if you have anything else it'll play on.
One of my favourite video game beginnings as well, seeing as it was one of the first 360 games i played it blew me away.
I think the scariest gaming experience I've had was a custom level for the original Far Cry that involved going up onto cat walks over a dark, bushy enclosure full of those mutant monkey things, and then realising that to progress I had to get a lift down and run through the dark mutant filled forest to a bunker, Jurassic Park style.
Then and again I don't really do psychological horror. Jump scares are what it's at for me.

That level was hard as feck. My copy always crashed at the same stage during it, meaning I never managed to beat the game.
the first Silent Hill was aces, it was not only scary but genuinely compelling too, you had to finish it desipte being so uncomfortable throughout. I've never played any other the others though, its was that scary i havent had the guts to! (tbf i was just a kid at the time)
i wouldn't say half life2 was scary at all, granted ravenholm was creepy but i never felt like i couldn't handle the enemies pretty easily. it is however one of the finest games i've ever played (and i've only done the PS3 version btw) it is absolutely brilliant and everyone should play it.
i thought nemesis was the scariest of the Resi games, that niggling fear in the back of your mind that at any moment that big mental guy could come crashing through a wall made for an excellent sense of anxiety with every room you entered, you never felt safe. Its a shame they've never used a similar character in later resi games imo

Far Cry 1 was outstanding!
Resident Evil 1-4, Eternal Darkness, Fatal Frame...

The Ps3 version is a piss poor and lazy port, you can thank the clowns at EA for that.
If you have a reasonably powerful pc then the PC version is a tenner.
