I'm interested in what my fellow Escapists think. In what game, and level have you paused the game, and said "HO-LY SHIT!!!"?
Modern Warfare 2 was full of them. I particularly loved both the rooftop chase, and the escape sequence in The Gulag.

Final Fantasy 13, going into Gran pulse for the first time. I think anyone who played that will agree with me.

The Splinter Cell: Conviction demo pretty much had me saying that the whole way through. If the game is anything like the demo, it'll be bloody brilliant.

This should be spoilerific, so be careful.
First of all, the Gulag level in Modern Warfare 2 because there is a particular sequence that reminded me of my fav movie of all-time.
Then,
Scott Shelby murdering 15+ guards in Kramer's appartment
Then,
Roach and Ghost getting killed was pretty unexpected

Imagine you're fighting a game's most annoying boss battle when.....

The entire city's power goes out......

For 4 long goddam weeks......

& you have to stay in a hotel for a month thinking about the video game you wont be playing any time soon.

When my girlfriend sent me a message saying she passed my gamerscore on XBOX Live... not really an ingame "Holy Shit" but you get the picture.

Our only ingame Holy Shit in Modern Warfare 2 was
Breaching the prison cell in the Gulag and finding that 627 was Captain Price.

I understand it's been out forever, but I won't let my little brother play it until he's a little older. Thus, I'm respecting people who haven't seen that little spoiler yet by keeping it behind the spoiler brackets.

Why didn't you just take your console to the hotel? I'd be worried about someone robbing my house if the power was out for a month.

Half-Life 2. Supercharged Gravity Gun. Not so much pause and say "Holy shit" so much as pause and go "Hahahahaha! Mwahahahaha! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The first time I came out of that bunker near the Washington monument in that level of Modern Warfare 2, I was stunned for 9 seconds after spotting the Washington monument and finding out where I was.
Not many video games could put such an effect on you. On that level, I started off in a dark underground bunker being used as a command center and a medic bay for the wounded, accompanied with the occasional quaking from the battle above, the short-circuiting fans and the radio chatter, and the moment I walked up the stairs out of the bunker, it was bullets and explosions, red-orange sky, fire hydrants exploding, a war torn Washington D.C, a helicopter being hit by a rocket and the damaged Capitol Building in the distance.

Oh yeah, the nuke in CoD4 and the plane crash in Left 4 Dead.

The endings to Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.

Nothing really more to say other than that.

Tearing off Atlas' fingernail in God of War III.

Throughout most of Silent Hill 1 and 2. Too tense!

The 'Blinded' ghost in Project Zero (Fatal Frame). Same reason as above!
