15 'Horror' Video Games That Totally Failed To Scare Anyone

5. Condemned 2: Bloodshot

There' a sequence in Condemned: Criminal Origins in which a deranged serial killer is chasing you through a series of winding corridors. It really is terrifying because it feels like he's right behind you, hot on your heels, ready to slice you up into little pieces. You know he's there, somewhere in the darkness, but you can't really catch a good glimpse of him, which only makes the whole thing even more frightening. In Condemned 2: Bloodshot, one of the penultimate confrontations in the game is between you and a reanimated suit of armour in a brightly lit museum. As you can see from the comparison, there was a grittiness and a sense of realism that was lost in the transition between the two; the latter of which had a few jumps here and there, but also saw you shouting at people with supernatural vocal chords, failing rather spectacularly where the first had exceeded so magnificently.
