alan wake imo is only a borderline survival horror game, as in the emphasis wasnt really to scare you but more to tell an engaging story, that being said, whether youre a fan of the genre or not, DEFINITELYYYYYYY play alan wake, that to me is the greatest game on the 360 right now, its the closest thing to heavy rain microsoft is going to get
a light survival horror game to start with might be siren tho, you can download them in chapters off the psn, that way you can get a taste of it and see how you like it, silent hill homecoming is also criminally underlooked, i love that game
edit: i've played pretty much every major and semi obscure (rule of rose) survival horror game there is, and dead space is the only one that genuinely fucks me up, i mean like literally scares me so much i have to turn the game off because i realize i was really tensed up and breathing reallllyyyyyyy reallyyyyyyy slowly lol, that game sets the bar for atmosphere being built up using sound, if you have any kind of entry level sound system of better you'll know what im talking about
those ppl who say deadspace isnt scary in my mind either played it with the lights on during the day and low volume on a small tv or are hardcore adrenaline junkies that should be segregated from society to preserve the general peace lol, that opening elevator moment had me freaking out, made it to chapter 2 and never want to play again
