Just wanted to share this.

Personally I find Dead Space to be the scariest game I have played.

Dead Space sure did have a lot of jump scares; which are kinda annoying, yes. But sometimes they just make me laugh at myself, which I enjoy and it compensates them.
But then again, Dead Space has great sound effects (if you play it with 5.1 sounds) which created the atmosphere for me that made it the game scariest game I have played.

I'm not saying that Amnesia (or Penumbra) has bad effects and it's an awful game... Amnesia has great sound effects and atmosphere as well!

I just believe this is one of those subjects that are about personal taste.
And mostly discussing about them, will lead into a flame war of some sort.
