While not terrible I find Shadows of the Damneds inclusion a little odd.

AitD stops being scary quickly. All the best moments are early in the game when you really don't know what to expect and it's clear that the designers are just toying with you (the collapsing floor and the front door are the big ones for me). After that it turns into more of a graphic adventure with some combat here and there before descending into weird action puzzles. The next 3 games aren't even trying to be scary. I guess I can understand why it was relegated to an honorable mention. It's too bad Project Firestart didn't get a mention but that's more of a cult classic and many people probably haven't heard of it at all. And yeah, fucking Slender... Ugh...

Not sure I'd consider The Walking Dead to be a horror game, either. It's not really a scary game. The tension comes from the choices you have to make, not the monsters or environments themselves. It would have been nice to see Fear Effect included, instead.

If we're going by "Horror games have to be scary" thing, then majority of the games in the list have to be dropped.

Well by the standards of this list, Castlevania should be on it. Hell, Nightmare Creatures was more of a horror game than some of these.

Ya can't just put a zombie, ghost, vampire, demon or whatever into a game and call it "Horror." (Well I suppose you could, but it's wrong!)

"No Luigi's Mansion; worst list ever, am I right guys?"
But yeah, as much as I don't like the list, I think most of the games could be construed as horror, in a way. I mean, if you're scared in some way by the game, and that horror is persistent throughout, then I don't see a problem. People have different levels of horror, just like people have different levels of humor.

People have different levels of horror, just like people have different levels of humor. I think the idea is that someone was maybe scared by these games. I honestly think Slender should actually be on the list. It hurt my hands to say that, and nw my ' ' key wnt wrk in rebellin. But it tried to be a horror game. And it may be scary, unlike Manhunt. That's the one I'm taking umbrage with.

I dashed between lamp posts like a dizzy dame on the run from the law in some low rent noir thriller. My fat friend came to a stop next to me a few moments later, wheezing and hunched over. His face was flushed red from the constant strain of continued physical activity, looking every bit like the bloodsucking literary agent he was back in "the real world." I smiled wryly beneath the sharp electric illumination of the lamp post, but the moment of levity was gone in an instant. Off in the distance, I could spot another thermos of coffee that needed collecting. Why? Stephen King says it's best not to explain why.
