10 Scary Things in Video Games That Aren't Meant to be Scary

    I'm going to throw a few franchise names out there, and you nod if you've heard of any of them. Resident Evil. Silent Hill. Dead Space. F.E.A.R.. If you keep up with games at all (and considering you've found your way to this blog, you probably do), you've almost undoubtedly heard of one of them. They're all horror games, and while you can argue about one series or another how they've made their mistakes, they all do legitimately good jobs at scaring us somehow.
    There's another genre of scary that most people don't consider, though. It's when something is scary in a video game that's not meant to be scary. You know, something E-rated you played when you were six that sent you diving for the Power Off button. Some of the games on this list are T-rated or received E10+ ratings when surveyed at a later release, but for the most part these are all ventures for Everyone. And they unnerve us.
