If you got into Silent Hill 1 then when the HD collection is released I strongly suggest you pick that up. SH2 is just unbelievably good and 3 is well worth a play. 

I'm not sure what scary games are around for the PS3. Dead Space 1 and 2 are the obvious choices. If you don't mind going back a few years you could try Forbidden Siren (PS2) or the re-make Siren: Blood Curse. If you want a challenge then the original is better. 

Alone in the Dark is another option. You'll never be more terrified of the prospect of a sequel!

This thread has been dead for a while so I thought I'd give it a kick in the arse.

I've picked up a few recently:

Alone in the Dark.

Difficulty 1/10. Enjoyment -1000/10

A well documented pile of shite. Nearly the entire list is a joke to get, the exception being the 'Handyman Carnby' trophy for combining all the items. It's a pain in the ass.

Brink.

Difficulty 5/10

If you play co-op and aim for the top rank you'll earn nearly every trophy along the way. Very straight forward.

Tekken 6.

Difficulty 8/10

Most of T6 is very doable with the exception of two trophies. 'Machine Crusher' is for beating Nancy MI478J, and she's a complete bitch. Combos are worthless against her so high damage attacks coupled with preternatural dodging will see you through here. The second trophy that will cause problems is 'What a nightmare'. The Nightmare Train stage is by far the most difficult in the Scenario Campaign and will require a truckload of high level items and baby-sitting Alisa. If she goes down, you're fcuked! Sticking with her and punching through her to tag-team attacking enemies works best.

Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time.

Difficulty 4/10

A walk in the park all round. The only obstacle being the Challenge playthrough which is boring as Hell. Slightly more upgraded weapons is not enough to hold interest.

Been chewing into Motorstorm Apocalypse for the last few days. I hadn't played it in a while and they've added in weekly and downloadable events which are actually quite good.

And myself and a few friends have been having a laugh in private matches. You still earn XP so I'm up to rank 33 (the trophy for rank 40 being the last I need for the plat.)

The price tag is a bit of a balls. But every year they seem to creep higher. It'll be interesting to see how much this year's Prestige edition is going to be. That usually tops everything else.

Enjoying Castevania a fair bit now actually… I've stopped at the sixth level, going back over the first few levels… trying to finishing some of the trials, could be playing it for some time  

Give me a shout if you need a hand with any of the trials. Some of them can be a bit tricky to figure out.

In the unlikely event that this isn't a complete piss-take, if anyone can land their hands on some I will pay for it!

So I decided to take some time off from playing games that I actually enjoy and try to finish Alone in the Dark. A solid testament to just how bad a game can be.

Did not one of the developers turn around and say “Hey lads, I've just noticed that our physics engine makes this game unplayable. Maybe we should address that?” Did the quality control team not realise that when driving on a perfectly flat surface you're car isn't supposed to crash, flip up into the air and kill your character? I can only assume that this stuff was ignored because they were too busy struggling with what must be the worst control system in gaming history. Hours into the game and I still can't meleé for shit! 

Anyways, I managed to get through the story to it's sleep inducing “climax” and now I just have to trudge about the place to kill 100 Humanz, staunch five bleeding wounds and make every combination of items in the game. All of which will be completely devoid of fun.
