But that kind of stuff is always very subjective, I mean there are even people out there who thought Amnesia wasn't the least bit scary but who were scared as hell by Doom 3. o.O
Good that you mention Manhunt though, it definitely needs to be added to the list of disturbing games. Although I think one could almost call it a reverse horror game because the things your character does to survive are (sometimes) even worse than what your enemies will do to you if they catch you. I remember Yahtzee once said in a review it felt like being in a jason film with the roles reversed - where the only normal dude hunts down lots of deranged killers 
Buuuuuut - even Manhunt suffered from turning into a shooter halfway through. And that's the point where I stopped playing and played Manhunt 2 instead. 
I'm fairly certain it can be ghosted and I only really remember the prison being shooter-heavy. The mansion grounds level with all the heavily armed soldiers required some very tight timing and sneaking around to do properly. So I disagree with both you and Yahtzee that it "turns into a shooter", because it was really only a short segment and who doesn't like variety? I agree, the stealth is far superior to the shooting and it wasn't really necessary but hey, I found the shooting to be disturbing as well.
Strokes/folks though. My definition of scary is much more liberal than just nightmare-inducing horror, as I find most stealth games to be scary as well (but in a different way). The world would be a pretty boring place if we were all alike huh?
EDIT: I've heard Manhunt 2 is pretty bad; what is your opinion of it? Worth playing for someone who enjoyed 1?
