Games that scared the crap out of you.

The Shalebridge Cradle level on Thief 3.

That scared the Bjesus out of me.

For me It has to be Silent hill 2 and the moment you encounter pyrimid head, what with him being that weird creepy monster that rapes other weird crazy monsters.

Yes, it was a disturbing scene.

Mine would be Silent Hill 3. That whole house museum freaked me out.

Seconded, because of the abortion/baby eating/birthing scene.

It's worse than it sounds.

The Shalebridge Cradle level on Thief 3.

That scared the Bjesus out of me.

And then that little girl

"I can hear you breathing, no one at the cradle does that anymore..."

YIKES

Penumbra Overture. It's the most distressing game that i have played. Even though I'm playing it through with a friend.

I'm a big girly pants and I don't care who knows!

Wait until Black Plague... you don't get weapons.

Doom3 did scare me, very dark and creepy

 

[Atheist Pope]

Condemned Criminal Origins. That damn level with the mannequins who whisper threats to you was so scary!

No game has ever really scared me, but I was definitely startled when a Truxican midget wrestler jumped out of a locker at me in Borderlands.

The Ravenholm level in Half-Life 2, with the agile, muscular, shrieking zombies crawling up walls and drainpipes and lunging at you.

I always thought of them a monkey zombies. I mean what else could they be?

Fallout 3. Strange I know

same here it just makes me jump every time i hear a noise. and don't get me started about swimming and not using your weapons......

For me, it's fallout 3. How you can go ages wihtout meeting a single soul and then when you finally interact with someone its a creepy centaur in a dark deserted hospital *shudder*. STALKER games are pretty scary too, for the same reason.

The first Silent Hill game was very scary, and I remember I turned it off several times.

 

[Morbid_Myths]

One word: Penumbra.
If you can play that game without being scared, you are my new hero.

 

[technoted]

The first Silent Hill when I was a kid kept me up for nights, I was truly terrified.

 

[Yokai]

Thief. Especially the mine level and the level after you lose your eye. Both scared the hell out of me. Granted, I was 12 at the time, but I've never encountered another game I found quite so scary.

 

[Yokai]

Double post, my apologies.

Fallout 3. Strange I know, but there's something creepy about hearing giant scorpions of crazed robots footsteps behind you. The game itself is only midly scary, the DLCs have some freaky shit. Those abominations in MS:Zeta have a look that is strangely, eerily human, but something less, something...more. And Point Lookout? It's just...too quiet, I still can't play the Punga part at night.

I have the same fear with Fallout 3 and Oblivion too! When in the wilderness, sometimes I just spin around and make sure there isn't something there, there is that constant fear that something might always be RIGHT BEHIND ME!!!

Fallout 3 is less scary and more depressing for me.
