Eternal Darkness for the GC

I second that. One of the best horror games ever.

Eternal Darkness is indeed an awesome game.

About a year ago I bought a survival horror game called Cursed Mountain for the Wii. I was only able to play a little bit of it before becoming too busy with school work, but it was creepy as hell. It has a unique setting, too - the Himalayas! I'll finish the game and maybe give a full review sometime in October.

I am not sure if this would really considered horror in the sense as slient hill or any other listed here, but onimusha is some slick fun.

Kuon for PS2 is pretty scary.
Not only is it scary in atmosphere, but it's set in a time period in the past so you're stuck using candles and torches instead of flashlights.

It's made by the people who did Lost Kingdoms.  It's a pretty cool game.

"Kuon Preview
When a bunch of demons spontaneously appear and start slaughtering the residents of a Japanese manor, the only thing to do is send in an easily frightened girl to solve the problem and save the day..."

that´s just kinda funny. haha ^^ gonna try this for sure if i can get that game. (: thx

Doom 3 - Still good as action and Horror
Bioshock - may not be strong as Horror, but its very good.
Dead Space - good for a go, but the horror really relies too much on jump scares
N64 and PSX Doom - those games have the scariest atmosphere, its quite different than the others..
Siren Blood curse - pretty good for a ps3 title
F.e.a.r and STALKER are said to be good too, never played those (yet)
Amnesia Dark Descent wasn't my cup of tea, didn't build up a good atmosphere for me...

I don't find horror games spooky but when I was a kid the nes Friday The 13th used to make me jump whenever Jason would pop out to fight you.

Just in case no one has suggested it yet (too lazy to check), I highly recommend DEAD SPACE. I haven't played the second, but the first one really creeped me the eff out.

As usual, play it late at night, by yourself, preferably with surround sound or headphones.

Bioshock - may not be strong as Horror, but its very good.

Oh yeah, in order to keep pimpin' Thief: The Dark Project, I'll mention that its scenario was written by Ken Levine, and it's by far the best thing he's ever been involved with, IMO. So folks, go play it!

I back the N64 and PSX DOOM recommendation. Aubrey Hodges' dark ambient scores in those games REALLY make them an unnerving experience.

Doom 64 Soundtrack - Dark Citadel

holy balls wtf no *cowers*
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

I'll second Kuon as it's a pretty good one.
I'd also throw Obscure and Cold Fear into the mix, as well as if you can track down Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare on Dremcast do it. New Nightmare is basically a reboot of the Alone in the Dark series that the original RE was based on and it's a really under rated game that only came out on the DC. Obscure is basically a pretty fun teen horror game in the vein of films like the Faculty, but it's really a fun game once you get the hang of it. Cold Fear is basically RE on a boat... You'll either enjoy it or hate it but it's worth a mention.

I'd also throw Shadow Hearts (the first game at least) out there as well as alot of the Shin Megami Tensei stuff as Horror RPGs...
Oh and the Legacy of Kain series (especially LOK: Blood Omen) while not horror games per say they are definately influenced by horror films.
