Back when my mall used to have an arcade, then replaced it with a horrible Forever 21 (ugh! wtf), we had House of the Dead 2. I would stand there and play it with a friend, and it would be so. much. fun. I'm heartbroken they tore down the arcade...they also had Tekken, which I used to be in love with. I wish old school arcades still existed in my neighborhood. I frickin’ LOVE The House of the Dead…

The first time I played this was when I was 13 years old. I'll never forget my shareware copy of the game. I couldn't stop playing it. It really was the beginning of a genre for me. Between games like this, Wolfenstain 3D, and RE, I had stepped into something that would forever be remembered in the history of games. Good (scary) times... I’ll never ever forget Doom.

I was way too much of a whimp to play it though, but I watched my cousin play it and I just stood there behind him, staring at the screen and not saying a word. Afterwards, I saw lots of nightmares. I saw nightmares of RE1 and 2 too... 2 is kind of special to me because it was the first RE game I played and it was AWESOME. Even if I was afraid of the Lickers so much I couldn't proceed in the game for a week because I couldn't make myself enter the corridor where I knew there was one... Haha. I was always on my toes for those creatures, I hated them with a passion for being so scary. That was genuine fear, I tell you. Oh man, good times. I remember Doom.

I've never completed a SH game (I've never finished a RE game either, but that's because I only started playing them in the US, and I kept saving them on other people's memory cards ;; ) But SH = pure terror for me. I couldn't play it without someone else in the room :P I have to admit, RE never scared me as much as the Silent Hill series.

If it doesn't suck you in so deep that it permeates your mind and crawls under your skin, it won't have any intended impact. You’ve got it so right with immersion being key to an all-consuming game.
