40 Scariest Video Games Of All Time

I can't write this synthesis - the excerpts provided don't contain enough coherent factual information to support a piece about 40 scariest video games.

The first excerpt discusses Marvel games (unrelated to the horror theme). The second mentions only two specific titles (Resident Evil and Dead Space) while referencing a broader list, but provides no actual game titles, details, or reasoning about what makes them scary.

To write this properly, I'd need excerpts that actually detail which games were included, why they were selected, or what criteria were used - the substantive facts that would let me synthesize what Polygon and CBR Gaming covered.

Please provide excerpts with concrete details about the games, rankings, or selection rationale.
