If you're into scary games and haven't played Fatal Frame yet, you've got to look into this one. There are 3 of them, although the story of each game has nothing to do with the other, so if you started on 3 you wouldn't miss anything. I can't properly describe these games and still do them justice, so here are some quotes from other websites.

"The name "Fatal Frame" comes from the game's unique combat system. You shoot the dead...but without bullets. Bullets can't harm things that can't be penetrated, making them completely useless against any foe in this game. Knives, rocket launchers and other common survival/horror weapons are nowhere to be found in Fatal Frame. The only weapon you have is -- drum roll please -- a camera. Enemies consist of ghosts, most of which are not very nice. By shooting, per se, the ghosts with the camera, their spiritual energy is drained and sucked into the camera. When all of a ghost's energy is drained, it dies. The energy that is drained can then be used to upgrade the camera and enhance its picture-taking powers.If you think that this is one of the most ridiculous concepts for a game, you're not alone. I too thought that this was a bit strange. But there was a lot of good buzz surrounding Fatal Frame, and I love survival/horror games so I couldn't resist trying it. I'm glad I did, because I would have been a complete idiot to overlook this incredibly entertaining game just because it looked and sounded weird. As it turns out, the sound is magnificently horrifying; the gameplay is slow, yet never boring; and the story is frightening, unique and somewhat believable!" - Gamezone

"Would you rather die quickly or be eaten away by a deep psychological terror over time? The latter, which I would rather not pick, is the chilling effect of Fatal Frame, a unique survival-horror game that combines innovative gameplay and very eerie settings. While titles like Resident Evil rely on shock value and cheap scares, Fatal Frame genuinely frightens in the worst possible way; slowly and subtly, ebbing away at you like a flesh-rotting disease." - IGN

"To call this game "spooky" is to refer to Enron execs as "a little dishonest." This one seriously rivals both the Silent Hill games for maximum creepitude. Fatal Frame takes you, as a young woman named Miku, through a haunted mansion inhabited by ghosts that didn't exactly attend Casper's School of Friend-liness. That's right—ghosts. Hard to believe, but in six-plus years of PS survival-horror games, this is the first to feature the most basic of supernatural nemeses.

Your only weapon? A camera. Yep, a ghostbusting camera that you can power up RPG-style using points accumulated by taking quality pictures. The more advanced your film, the stronger your attack. The camera detects ghostly presences, too, causing the Dual Shock to thump like a heartbeat, as if the moaning ghosts weren't enough to play with your pulse.

Scary as these specters may be (and beautiful—the look of the ghosts moving about highlights Fatal Frame's superb graphics), the overall atmosphere enhances the nervous fright. This is one to play in the dark and to play loud. As you wander about, sounds vary from unsettling noises to anxious silence—with plenty of quick jump-back moments, too. Throw in some stylish yet truly horrific cutscenes featuring mass stranglings, a "blinding mask" (imagine stakes through the eyeholes—and someone putting it on) and more, and I'm forced to question the ESRB's Teen rating for the game. Relatively bloodless as Fatal Frame may be, the events portrayed outdisturb any M-rated Resident Evil by far." - 1up


The first one can be played on both the XBOX original and the Ps2, as can the 2nd. The third is exclusive to Ps2, though. The graphics don't even look like they're from 02, 03, or 05, but they are. I'd suggest the 3rd one, simply because it's the prettiest. If you're looking for the scariest, I'd go for 2. Screenshots!

If you have played this game before, what do you think of it?

I received this message (Exact quote, she really did type that badly) from someone today. Not only is there the issue that I'd be paying a ton to get 150k out of her... There's also the fact that all her lots consisted of one piece of the Petpet Lab Map each, which I'm pretty sure is worth about 8,000 altogether. When I linked her to other lots similar to hers, which asked for the correct price, she started typing in all caps and swearing up and down that they were all wrong and that I needed to trust her.

Her account was aged 8 years.

What do you think, a poor attempt at a scam or just pure stupidity?

So, some guy I've known on Neo for a really long time just asked me (on MSN) to flash him on cam, and he said he'd give me all 80 million in his account if I did.

After struggling with my morals, I declined.
Has anyone every asked you to do something really weird in exchange for neopoints?

Hello, hello.

My name is Emily. I've been playing Neopets since I was 8, and am now 17. I came across this forum after searching (To no avail) for some kind of program to help me. See, I'm tired of playing fair. I had an amazing account with at least 7 million, and 12 million pure in items, and it was hacked somehow and that was just great.

Now, I'm back on there because of my addictive nature, and the urge to get tons of NP and buy things and be awesome.

Nice to meet you.

EDIT: While I'm here, can someone explain to me the meaning of the term AB'ing? I'm new to this whole thing, and never used a program before now.
