"You can not compare fear and fear. One is equal to the other. One may have a quality the other doesn't though in the end, it is still fear...and that fear will consume you."

They are both games that will go down in history as the best horror games created. One can not "win". That is ridicules. They both have their ups and their downs. One has one thing while the other does not. The question is not which one is "better"; the question is what is next.

I didnt like Penumbras because of the scariness but because of the story and the puzzles.Black plague was really creepy though.

Yeah the ending really freaked me out. Took a step forward, lights out, took a step back. Then my mate forced me to move forward, I refused to look cause I thought something would jump out. Even when you get knocked out made me jump. Loved the game, story was great, red's character was class, shame about him
