Number 10 on the list is "DEAD SPACE" is basically what the title describes it to be, dead people in space station turning into "Necromorphs" that the player needs to eliminate. Number 9 is "Enemy Zero" wherein the player is left to explore a starship with no weapon at hand and an audio-based sonar device equipped.

The game on the number 5 spot is called "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem," this game is a mix of both fiction and reality designed not only to scare the player but to play with his sanity as well.
"Resident Evil HD" sits on the number 4 spot in this list, the classic horror game which started the zombie culture was made even more terrifying when played on HD. Featured on the number 3 spot is "Silent Hills: P.T." a game made possible with the collaboration of legendary director Guillermo Del Toro and "Metal Gear" creator Hideo Kojima, this game was like a demo that came out of nowhere and was offered for a limited time only.
The game on number 2 is a combination horror and puzzle game staged in an eerie environment. "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" features jump scares and scenarios designed to disturb the human psyche.
