Power up your washing machine because you’ll need a few new sets of under garments when checking out these scary video games just in time for Halloween. Beware, the entries on this list will surely scare the living pants off you.<\/p>\n

Since the early days of gaming leading back to the 1980’s, games like Haunted House on the Atari set the groundwork for later releases to jump scare the living hell out of you. Even though pixelated ghosts and spiders weren’t all that scary at the time. Today we have iconic franchises such as Alone in the Dark, Sweet Home which later paved the way for Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness and Dead Space to name a few.<\/p>\n

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With radioactive mutants everywhere in the setting of Chernobyl, Ukraine it’s a perfect mix of a setting for a scary video game. Imagine a second nuclear disaster took place at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, inhabiting these mutant creators and military factions, unraveling the mystery of why you’re there in the first place. <\/p>\n

It’s a first person shooter with open world mechanics, don’t expect this to be a cake walk where you can just pick off enemies from a far. You have to engage with the enemies in combat in order to progress. <\/p>\n

Stalker has a really distinct setting that really draws you in. Playing through the ten hour main quest, it’s a bit on the short side. We would have liked to see S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl<\/a> add in RPG elements to explore further in the game.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
