Pay close attention in Metro 2033. They put a lot of effort into detailing those guns. At one point I was playing on the hardest difficulty(the one that disables the HUD). I kept looking at the back of the revolver thinking that the rounds looked like they'd been fired. So of course at the part where you and Bourbon first reach that station and there's a rush of nosalises, I aim and wait until it's almost on top of me. Go to shoot and *click*. For some reason I kept thinking I should reload before that but thought i'd be wasting ammo. That and sneaking across the border for the war without killing anybody.
When I got caught in that cave, I was onto my last couple of 12 gauge shots and at the enterence were a couple of bloodsuckers. Plus the blow out.Zetion said:
Geist on the GameCube has some pretty atmospheric moments...
In one chapter, you have to sneak into the women's showers to possess one of the doctors to save your friend, and (due to a mechanic where things that really scare the host prevent you from nearing them) you are kind of guided to the area where you get your clothes by not being able to near guards. You get your clothes, and walk back into the hallway, only to see... there are no guards anymore. All that indicates their fate... bloody trails on the walls and floor.
Playing that with a friend at 3AM in total darkness... Ugh. The lights went out entirely at one point ingame. Screwed with our heads. D:

Condemned: Criminal Origins. Hear me out -
Scared half to death ^
Also, BioShock 1 - first time I played it, I went to pick up the shotgun just off the foyer for Medical, and the lights dropped out, leaving just a circle of light around me. In the darkness you could see splicers dragging their wrenches and creating sparks, great moment.
[small][small][small][small]Then again, you were just given a shotgun, so it was a little too easy to corner-camp.[/small][/small][/small][/small]
When you find the torturer's body, multilated and in a locker after your instincts showed you he went in there to die. Rosa asks you to photograph the body. After you do it, she requests a close up of the Torturer's face. When you zoom the camera into his face, right when you get to the point that all you can see is the face, his head snaps around and he grabs you.

I was talking to friend after I got home from buying Dead Space 2 (she was with me when I bought it) and we were talking to the guys at the gamestop. They said the game wasn't for a faint of heart (which we already guessed that) and told us that even the littlest things will scare us to shit.
So we put the game in and I let it download and we were talking, leaving the game at the menu screen for a couple minutes when we hear something. "Isaac..."
We had no idea what it was and the lights were off. I thought it was my mom and so did my friend, but none of our names is Isaac. It happened again and we were extremely creeped out we had to keep the lights on the entire time.

oh my god I totally agree. I was holding my breath waiting for something to come out at me and it was like 'decontamination complete' and I'm like 'fwee!'Rem45 said:
Then when I came back I hadn't gotten any other ammo then 'OMGTHEREEVERYWHERD:'

Mods, I realize that this may count as a short post or self advertising, but please understand that I have discussed this topic so many times with such long and thought out posts that I feel at this point it'd be better for me to link to my orginal posts on the matter instead of typing another whole half a page thesis on Majora's mask.

Yeah, so many gems go unappreciated.dathwampeer said:
Similarly, I dunno if you're familiar with that sarcy British guy that calls himself Yahtzee...he's made some damn scary games.
SWAT 4 could be freaky, cause it was believable, suspension of disbelief was easier when you are "only" fighting human enemies, and their weapons can splatter your whole team if you are careless.
Blade Kitten, to an minor extent, on the level after the Acland...but the end of game cut scene gave a reason for all that, rather than just character development, which was a shame.
