The scariest moment in a video game!

THIEF used to scare the shit out of me when I used to watch my brother play it. (I was like eight). That's about it.

I'm pretty sure my head hit the ceiling when I was playing Splinter Cell at 3AM with a friend and we were silently creeping through a room, and a turret suddenly started firing at us. Those things are LOUD.

When I got to the first Little Sister/Big Daddy part, all of them were just shouting "OH *** SHOOT IT NOW I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T HAVE WEAPONS."
The part that bothered me was the zombie-type lady talking to the gun in the carriage...it's more of that strange psychological stuff that bothers me than the simple "leaping out of the darkness" things.

you mean like if you hear a madman talking crazy stuff in a dark place your going to be spooked?

Bioshock.

That weird splicer in the morgue.

I heard something, looked around(spinned in a circle like five times.)

Grab something of the floor turn around, he's right in your face.

=P

That's about it.

Geez, this makes me feel old, and I'm not old.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, for n64. There's something in the water in the sewer levels and it's scary. That and Ocarina of Time's crypt for the sun's song. These aren't really scary any more, but they were very scary at the time.

The zombies that humped you in the town square, hands down the creepiest thing ever.

Can't wait for Alan Wake. Eh, Silent Hill series on the PS2, anyone? A game adaption of The Grudge would be sure to send shivers up your spine, whether it would work is another question.

Ah yes.. Me and my brother rented the first Silent Hill when it came out.. That was pretty freaky.. I think we returned it cause we hated how intense it was. I was young when I played it.. I don't know what his excuse was.. :p

Probably Condemned.

And for some very strange reason, Syphon Filter was a bit spook for me.

For me it would prolly be the first time I played Doom 3 at about midnight.

For me, it's in Floodgate when you see the live human get infected. It's a lot worse than dead corpses. It's not really scary, more like disturbing to see him try to get it off, then see him ooze green, bloody crap, have the flood spores pop out all around him, his messed up scream, falling to his knees, then the whip-tentacles fly out of him.

I ALWAYS save him now.

In my opinion, the bodies getting infected is kinda dumb. They writhe around, then without anything else happening, they're suddenly that pale color and have the whips and other mutated crap.

This. Which is why I always kill the psycho marine in Floodgate and 343 Guilty Spark (the level).

I hated playing the Facility level in the original Goldeneye, scared the crap out me when I was 6.

When I first played Doom when I was like 8... I had nightmares after playing that game.

Oh I just remembered, when I was a really little kid (5?) Doom scared the shit out of me.

well for me its the marine missions in avp2 that are scary but creepy or the jumps like how the aliens pounced at you in your face in avp2 or the facehuggers and i never really liked that in HL2 the zombies did the same thing
