I don't really like survival horror games, except for Project Zero (Fatal Frame in the states), which rocks. I actually get SCARED while I'm playing it. At least you don't have to use your basebal bat to hit 20000000 zombies into pulp who just respawn anyway.

The whole idea of games such as RE and Silent Hill is based on cruel, disgusting scenes, which doesn't scare at all.

Prohect Zero makes use of the exact opposite. Instead of throwing hundreds and hundreds of ugly monsters at you, it uses the feeling that there MAY be a ghost in the next room. And since ghosts can appear out of nowhere you're just constantly filled with anxiety about their location (when the camera begins to glow). That's how I think all horror games should be. Unfortunately, many (if not all) reviewers think the exact opposite and consider Project Zero a horror game for kids who can't take the gore. Such a pity.

By the way Sabre, you do know Project Zero 2 is scheduled for release 29th April, right? I'll be sure to get it the day it's out.
