Silent Hill and perhaps the Resident Evil games.

I hate survival horror games. Probably the ten minutes of Condemned I played before I happily relinquished the controller.

Wolfenstein 3D with my new Soundblaster 16-bit stereo sound. GUTENTAG!!!

Doom II. Played with a headset on late at night and jumped more times than I care to admit. Also, Bioshock has some really, really good creepy moments early in the game.

I tend to relish the feeling of adrenalin when something happens in a survival horror game. Silent Hill I, the original Condemned and F.E.A.R. were all good at that. Even Day of the Tentacle had its moments, though. Nothing scared quite as much as when I thought I had lost the RAID volume layout on the 8-disk PowerEdge POD at work back in 1998 though. *shudder*

It would have to be Bioshock and Condemned. I was absolutely terrified of Condemned and could only play for about 20 minutes before quitting.

Alone in the Dark - based on Lovecraft.

Oh man, I forgot about Eternal Darkness! That one scared the tar out of me! Angel - Condemned does a fantastic job of ratcheting up the tension and keeping it at a really high level. The scene where the dressmaker's dummies suddenly surrounded me made me jump out of my skin.

I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but playing the human in Aliens vs Predator is scary, especially when your motion tracker starts going.

Doom 3, definitely. I couldn't handle the constant adrenalin rush.

Wolfenstein 3-D. EDIT: First 3-D Game? Stereo sound? Layed the ground-work for any other game you can think of in this context including Doom and Quake.

I second the human campaign in AvP (that would be my #1 pick). Also Doom 2 (with the music off) and Resident Evil. Bioshock got me, when that one slicer is standing behind you as you turn around. Any cramped spaces in Fallout 3 with ghouls gets me.

Alien vs. Predator Gold on PC... Doom 3 as a close 2nd.
