10 Video Games That Might Literally Scare You To Death

9. F.E.A.R.

Before the series went down a distinctly action-orientated route, F.E.A.R. was one of the most heart-stoppingly scary games ever released. The first game, simply known as F.E.A.R. is still the best, pitting the player as part of a special forces team that has to contain a paranormal menace. The key part of F.E.A.R.'s success was the unique atmosphere, which masterfully maintained a constant sense of unrelenting tension and dread. The 'paranormal menace' that the player has to contain comes in the form of a ghostly young girl, a frequent source for the game's most terrifying moments. In managing to be not just a horrifying experience, but also a solid, entertaining shooter, F.E.A.R. managed a hugely difficult balancing act that has been rarely surpassed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylyf9dfp2-c
