As long as i can remember i have never been scared in a video game, i have played games that i have thought twice about entering a room but not once has a video game scared me. BioShock seems to be the first, the atmosphere and the enemies just make me jump all the time. Does anyone else get this same effect while playing this game?

Oh cool what part of the game are you exploring like location wise, if you can remember i am still playing through the game for the first time and getting scared by so much, this game is perfect. I think my biggest scare was when i first saw the Big Daddy really angry, i can't remember what i did but it wasn't happy with me and i have never being so in fear of my characters safety seeing this big metallic yellow thing charging full speed at me, it was really something special and i still get the same dread everytime i have to fight one.

Ah i know where you are thats cool hehe, yeah i know what you mean about the Big Daddy. That is what BioShock does so well it's nice being scared by the game as the enemies are just so good.

I can only hope the sequel is this good, though a lot can happen between now and when it releases. I am looking forward to the movie though, last i heard Gore Verbinski the director of The Pirates of Carribean trilogy was doing the movie, but that could be one huge false rumour.

I disagree there i don't think there is just two types, this game isn't a pyschological horror but it is atmospheric in the sense that the area feels lived in and that it used to be an idylic hotspot. The music also adds to the atmosphere and while there are a lot of set pieces that allow for more obvious scares it's the whole walking around and then the jukebox suddenly turning on thats scary in this game for me anyway.
