Mines in Fear. In the office level when you go up a large almost spiral staircase and start exploring the level above. When you go into some random office and turn to go to the computer desk. Some...thing is invisible and standing on the cieling, and when you get into the room and close enough to it, it turns visible and jumps at your face. When i did it, i wasnt even looking at that side of the room so it scared the crap out of me when I walked into what I thought was a plain wall, and it mauled me. Also, Ravenholm from HL2 was pretty crazy.
I was playing Bioshock when the power went out (not talking about the part where the lights go out and the splicers come, but the power in my house went out). I could hear the demented ramblings of a splicer around the corner as the water dripped down so my nerves were already on edge when it happened.
I believe I was yelling "Holy expletive! Adam Ryan is after me!" for about 30 minutes afterward. Good times.

fear had some scary moments,never finished it tho but that girl was quite scary.i wouldnt say anything in COD4 was scary,teh story and cut scenes were immense but it wasnt horror.the marines missions reminded me alot of black hawk down.
i cant believe resident evil one hasnt been mentioned.damn when it first came out i was like 7 and watching my bro start it,he walked into the 1st area where the zombie slowly turns around from his meal in a cut scene, that really did give me nightmares!like i say i was about 7 soo,still.......
doom3 was shit scary but it was done in a cheap fashion for my liking,by not allowing you to have an attack weapon whilst holding your essential flashlight it was bound to cause jumping moments, i think it was a weak and easy way for the devs to do it.i mean in one or two section ok but for a whole game, nah.

Thief 3. The Asylum. I've never been so scared in my life. I litteraly sat under some stairs for like ten minutes listening to this banging going on upstairs. I was sitting there in the shadows expecting a monster to come running down. And then when you go up there, the ghost girl appears...
Bioshock when at the end of the first level Andrew Ryan talks to you over the television and then the three splicers on the other side of the glass start pounding on it while Atlas screams for you to get the hell out of there. That freaked me out... it was a little bit of a let down though that I could just leave the level.
Many a scene in System Shock 2 and Bioshock freaked the crap out of me.
The Thief 3 Asylum level also scared the crap out of me. I spent the first half of the level lurking from corner to corner trying to not attract anything until I realized the first half of the level didn't have any enemies. The second half did, and they SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME.
Ravenholm wasn't as scary as just a constant barrage of death.

resident evil 1 --> the part where you're in a hallway with windows. suddently, one of them is broken and a zombie jumps to you
after that, i hardly had any more scary moments. not saying I'm a tough guy, it's just that i can't compare anything to that one. yes, it was lame, but resident evil back then was something new and stuff like that was utterly unexpected (at least for me).
oh, yes. this scared me also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9GkHz5ch5I

Laugh all you want, but the scariest moment I've ever had playing a game was the first time I played Final Fantasy 7, climbing the Shinra tower. You know, where you're following the humongous trail of blood through several floors, and you have no idea what it is you're following, and there's no one around, and that heartbeat-Sephiroth music is playing? Definitely a freaky moment - especially when you're playing it at 3 AM, in the dark so you don't wake your roommate.
Also, I second the original Resident Evil, with the zombie bursting into the hallway. Along those same lines, Fatal Frame was pretty darn spooky. I made it all of five minutes into the game - into the rope room, where you see the first ghost flicker at the end of the hallway - before throwing the controller down and switching to Super Mario Sunshine. I had to have my fiance play the rest.

Ok. Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha! Ha. Hoooo boy.Lara Crigger said:
Sorry.
There's a part in System Shock 2 towards the end (I think it's at the beginning of the Command level) where you get rushed by like 5 or 6 of those semi-invisible spiders. Those things were super creepy anyways, especially their sound effects, and they were really hard to take down, so when that happened I freaked out pretty good.
Half Life 2 just didn't scare me at all. Ravenholm was a little creepy, but honestly, I never had a tense moment in that level.
Doom 3 on the other hand, delivered some honest-to-God frights. Definitely the scariest part of that game was towards the end of the first Mars section, I forget the level, but you enter it and for like 5 minutes you don't run into any enemies... you just hear them around you. The tension just keeps building and building. Then this imp's crawling shadow scuttles across the floor and you just about piss yourself, only to look up and see he's just going across the glass above you. Then later on you finally get jumped by an Arch-Vile, I think.
HEy everybody, new here to the forums after months of laughing my ass off at yahtzee's brilliance.
Well, i think for me, one of the freakiest games i have ever played was the suffering for ps2. I bought this game on kind of a whim, never really earing anything about it. it was cool to find out that it was in a prison, and when all hell started to go loose and all the crazy executed hell monster things started to jump out, that i was a little freaked.
Maybe it was how lethal the game was, or maybe its just that i suck at action games, but it really felt like you could die at any second, and plus the monsters just looked friggin cool and mutilated.

Condemned was scary until I got so used to being scared in it that when a deformed zombie-hooker-crack-addict jumped at me with an axe, I didn't so much as flinch, and slapped her with my tazer.
Scariest moment ever? The Cradle in Thief 3. Made freaking scary by the fact that you don't actually run into any bad guys for the first half hour.

I tell you the one that's near legendary in my mind was Undying. PC FPS Clive Barker was involved in a few years back. They did some masterful things with mirrors that to this day, still give me the creeps. I'm not gonna give out specifics though, because I don't want to ruin it for anybody, there's at least one occurence in the first 30 min of the game. It's not hard to find.
Well I just dusted off the last bit of Condemned last night at around midnight. I've never ever had the feeling that I should turn off the game. Never! But last night I came close when you're in the school and suddenly whjile going through the showers all this sped-up laughted starts playing like all these little scamps are laughing at you. Then just scared me shitless. Getting to the end of the showers you get picked up and thrown back and forth across the room.
Moving on as well to the creepy old house in the middle of nowhere, chassing after SKX armed with a fireplace stick thing, before realsing that you've lost him and now your in a house with a seriel killer stalking you. Scarest level in the damn game!
On towards the end. I don't want to give it away but the last boss would give Clive Barker a run for his money. Armed only with a fire axe I took much glee in tear it to pieces. Thanks for being one of the top scarest bosses! At lest I got the Revenge (evil) ending and summed up the game quite nicely.

See, I was going to say the exact same thing as you, about Resident Evil.. except I was going to substitute the word "Zombie" with the word "dog".. because I distinctly remember there being a dog that jumped through a window, and it took place in a hallway. This was towards the beginning of the game.portuga-man said:
As for Condemned.. I still remember that game very vividly. What a masterpiece, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the sounds in 5.1 and the general mood set in the game. I want to play it again, but I have to wait until I'm ready to freak myself out again.
Was Sander Cohen that 'art guy' because if he was that was the most screwed up level in the whole game. I hated that whole part as my pants were a shade brown afterwards. After completing his quest and he came out to congratulate me, I took oof as soon as I could. Any part of Rapture I wouldn't want to be was in there.Hag said:
