6. The Mannequins - Condemned (2005)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPP5Ja7YNas Playing horror games is scary. Playing them from a first person perspective is even scarier. There are a heck of a lot of scares that come from Condemned, mainly from having to get up close and personal with your enemies. You had very few firearms with very few shells/bullets and when they are depleted, you must resort to bashing people with the butt. One of the scariest parts of the game, however, was in the abandoned shopping centre where you come face to face with shop mannequins. Yeah, mannequins. Some of them were enemies caked in the plaster and the ones who weren't alive decided to follow you around to the point where you were completely surrounded by them. You'll never look at a department store shop front in the same way ever again.
