Doom 3 scared the shit out of me too. I first played the game in the middle 
of the night, with my headphones pumped. Couldn't do more than a few levels 
at a time without taking a break, since after a while it got to me so much 
that I actually disliked playing the game. Of course, it was just plain fun 
after 'the fear' worn off.

People that brag that the game is weak or had no effect on them are probably 
using inferior equipment or playing it in the middle of the day, sipping tea 
in between rooms.

I now eagerly await the release of F.E.A.R., since that looks brilliant in 
both the action and shock departments.
