I'm sure you're familiar with them but all of Valve's first person shooters fit this mold (maybe not minimal...). The Left 4 Dead series especially has the atmosphere down.

I'll have to give the L4D games a shot--I hear they're excellent. Does Xbox v. PC matter at all?

At the risk of sounding like an elitist, I don't think there's an FPS in existence where console vs PC doesn't matter. You need a mouse.

I would take the PC on general principle. I can vouch the L4D games on PC are fantastic, especially when playing with some friends.

Minimal and full of atmosphere? I would prefer DayZ then (even if it seems it has had its best days,at least as a mod). Never played another game which can be so intense and get you really frightened..
