A game that really sends the chills down your spine

I have always been keen on games that have that certain element to make you shiver when playing but what makes a game chilling. I thought Silent Hill was very scary, using the school was a nice touch. Also Aliens vs Predator seemed quite scary at times with good elements taken from the films. It is all well and good to make a game dark and add some sound effects but you need that certain element that can be found in movies. What do you define as scary..making you feel a slight sense of danger or involving you in the game so that you believe you are being chased or running to save you life. I know that there is a game coming out for the PS2 which looks good...they are using the abandoned space craft plot, similar to Event Horizon. "Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day!"

System Shock 2 had many of those qualities though at the end it turned into a shooter.
- The ghosts ( sad and chilling)
- ass-kicking monkey
- positional sound
Take a look at that for a successful attempt at fear
