I admit, survival horror has definitely become my 'pet' genre in the last couple of years, though I'm not entirely sure why. I adore games like Silent Hill and Haunting Ground, I fall in love with the twisted settings, the confused characters, the terrifying enemies and the bizarre themes, but I'm actually freaked out by most horror films.
Most of the SH games I love, I feel very little fear when playing them, and I prefer it that way. Like I said, there are games like Fatal Frame which are both enjoyable and put me on edge, but for me it's more about the weirdness than trying to terrify myself. Then again, I guess I must have some level of desensitisation, since it always makes me raise an eyebrow when someone says they're too scared to play Clock Tower. I suppose it's just because I don't really associate survival horror games with being scared, despite the fact that's what they're for. But it's the games that do unnerve me that I tend to be less interested in.
