That is exactly my problem, concerning movies, too. I'm really jealous of people who can be scared by games and movies. The last time I was scared by a movie was when I saw ALIEN, must be at the age of 8 or so. The first and last game that scared me was DOOM, must have been at the age of 12.
I think the more realistic the games become, the more the faults attract attention and destroy the gaming experience - Games that go the other way and don't try to be a copy of our reality, but build their own reality instead, can be much more convincing to me.
