See, that's what I don't agree with. In Condemned I always knew something was going to pop up and scare me. It was more psychological. (This is all my point of view and opinions mind you) With F.E.A.R. I expect something to come at me from the dark but then in a nearly well-lit area that little girl appears or that one guy appears then turns into smoke. Does that make sense?
Condemned I learned to expect things, and I got used to those mannequins and stuff. But with F.E.A.R. you turn around and 'GAH!" your controller flies through the air (well, not really, exaggerating here) I wish I could explain it more but I'm tired. Needless to say, F.E.A.R. rightfully got its name. Condemned didn't scare me. It had more of a B movie feel to it. F.E.A.R. definitely seems like a blockbuster horror movie to me. It comes at you from different angles, it doesn't really repeat stuff. With Condemned you had the monsters and the mannequins to scare you (and i guess ominous blood smears?) F.E.A.R. incorporates a lot of mechanics that Max Payne did. It has a sci-fi Stephen King thing to it.

No, I understand what you're saying. And you're right, it's all opinions. F.E.A.R. had plenty of parts that made me jump, but anytime something remotely scary happened I just put it in slow-mo and started shooting with my uber rifle or shotgun. Those two things make the game much less scary, for me. Also, the scary moments of the game are all scripted. So after you play through the game once, you won't be scared. You know that the girl will pop up at the right places.
I've played through Condemned twice, and both times scared me silly. The big difference being that the hobos could sneak up behind you, and until you turned around you wouldn't realize they were right there. There were the constant heavy breathing or shouts as the characters ran into another room. The firearms in Condemned are rare, in fact, and it relies on hand-to-hand combat. Putting you so close to those gross characters is unnerving.
Both games have the same developer, though, so obviously there are some similarities between the two. And the developer is producing both sequels to the games. I guess it just depends on what SCARES you more. Some people are frightened by the creepy little girl, others are scared by the "in-your-face" creepiness of Condemned.

I love horror movies and scary movies, but when it comes to games I hate them. I get scared in games so freakin easy. I dont know if its because I have control of the character or that I'm having to pay so much attention but I find myself jumping a lot and shouting the occasional "oh sh#t!!". hahaha oh yeah, i will also admit that Gears scared me as well.

The Ravenholm level of "Half-Life 2" in The Orange Box is pretty scary. Especially with the lights out...
