I played Shock 2 first in 2006 and it was one of the most memorable experiences I've had.
My favorite series lately that does fear well is STALKER. I've got all three of the games and I love 'em. Incredible atmosphere. When you wander into underground areas, they are some of the most unnerving games I've ever played. It's all about the atmosphere though, and the wandering aspect. I live for that these days. Fallout 3 is good but these games are better IMO.
I'm waiting on Mass Effect 2 going on sale. :D
A little OT. But the new one from the Penumbra team looks to do fear, perhaps the best ever in a PC game:

That looks interesting. However, having the PC *GASPing and breathing "scared" was a little much. I think that would get obnoxious after a while, I don't know. To me that seems like the horror equivalent of having a laugh track on comedy shows.

You obviously haven't played
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

Was I the only one who loved every moment of Pandorum?
It's a good film. The early part of it is especially reminiscent of SS2.

...There is some truth when people on these forums joke that once you play SS2 you become a gaming pessimist....
The game was/is a masterpiece which has forever changed how I view/play various games.
It's a shame there are so many talented developers out there whom could/can make better games but the marketing department confines them.

Everytime I play System Shock or System Shock 2, it just doesn't get old. Can't say that about very many games. The atmosphere is so rich in those titles it keeps me coming back 1-2 times a year since 1994.
