Once again it's Halloween. Time to dust off those old horror games and scare ourselves silly all over again. But this year, instead of reaching for reliably chilling games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dead Space, why not dig a little deeper? Play a game that might not fall specifically into the horror genre, but that will likely give you goosebumps nonetheless.
To that end, let's check out five unlikely games guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.
5) Batman: Arkham Asylum
Huh, you ask? Arkham Asylum is a bad-ass brawler. What's it doing here? Well, there are two reasons Arkham Asylum earned a spot on this list: Scarecrow and Killer Croc. Several times, the villain Scarecrow infects Batman with his fear toxin, sending the Dark Knight into a terrifying tailspin where reality and fantasy merge to create some truly frightening imagery. Next, there's the boss battle with Killer Croc, which is the most suspenseful and nerve-wracking in the series. Any sudden movements and a man-eating behemoth will crash through the water at you.
4) Limbo
Advertised as a puzzle platformer, Limbo can go toe to toe with almost any horror game on the market. With its washed-out gray palette, ominous music, and cryptic storyline, Limbo has scary atmosphere to spare. Plus it has plenty of deadly traps, mind-controlling parasites, lots of dead bodies, and, most terrifying of all, a giant, unstoppable spider that stalks you.
3) Half-Life 2
"That's the old passage to Ravenholm. We don't go there anymore." With those immortal words, Alyx Vance introduces one of the scariest chapters in video game history. In Half-Life 2, Gordon Freeman must traverse Ravenholm, a dark, desolate mining town overrun by zombies. In true survival-horror fashion, the developers at Valve placed very little ammo in Raveholm, forcing Gordon to rely on springing traps and using his gravity gun (to launch blades and assorted junk) to make it out alive.
