10. Tomb Raider

Yes, the 2013 release of Tomb Raider is a spectacle in gaming but let's focus on its roots for a minute, shall we? Tomb Raider is the only video game on this list to feature actual blood and semi-gore. Despite this, it still fits the theme as it isn't a horror game but an action-adventure platformer that just so happens to take place in some pretty creepy places. As many know Tomb Raider follows the adventures of Lara Croft, a sexy archeologist who gets herself into some sticky situations. All five of the original games released for the Playstation are incredibly fun as Lara traverses multiple landscapes - and raids many tombs - solving puzzles and shooting bad guys along the way. The first game in the series stands out for introducing great and innovative gameplay while exploring some dark and scary places. The scariest moment by far in the series is the introduction of the first T-Rex in TR1. It's one of the most nostalgic moments in gaming, and has made many hearts skip a beat. The scares continue in Tomb Raider II as you realize what was so scary about Jaws when you swim with sharks while TR3 features some horrifying moments in the ruins of India and even a trip to Area 51! If you're new to gaming and you've not played any of the original Tomb Raider games you are in for a treat! Pick up all five for PSX and turn off the lights while you explore the tombs of Egypt and roam the darkened rooftops of London. You'll face off against mummies, mutants, and even ghosts making this classic perfect for the Halloween season.
