Doom 3 is a bit scary too, however if you stay longer you might have a brain tumor for that... it really gives me a headache. But in fear is like playing "rainbow6 vs house of the dead"... it really chills you A LOT when your started to breeze..now how do I describe it...like your playing video games in the graveyard..ALONE..!

Because for all that Doom 3 made us jump with fright and surprise, true fear is a more difficult thing to provoke in a player. It takes timing. Suspense.
