i must admit that dead space worked quite well in that department.

^ This. Specialy because it had a fair ammount of building up too. Love those sudden calm moments, where nothing happens and you just fear that anytime something will happen. It's just too calm to be true.

This one due out next year (from the Scratches dev team) looks promising.
One of my favorite Lovecraftian horror games, although third person and on a console, was Eternal Darkness. Had a good plot, a variety of horror and got Sanity effects down to a T.
You can't top a game faking your console crashing or the controls suddenly inverting, your head falling off or doors refusing to open as your sanity drops. Great mind games!
