Atmosphere or Annoyance?

 I'm open to all kinds of judgement here.

The other day my boyfriend was playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time, he was rather freaked out by the game and occasionally fired a question or two my way in regards to what happened next... each time he did, I wouldn't give him a straight answer, oh no no no... I either answered his question with a question of my own or... provided him with complete uncertainty instead of a 'yes' or a 'no'! I also kept dropping the odd sentence here and there to create a little more paranoia, you know the kind... 'are you sure you want to do that?' :P

Now hopefully with your understanding, we venture back to the title. I'd like you to answer this question... does this kind of behaviour add to the atmosphere of games or is it just plain annoying? :)
