Mass Effect 2, when you're investigating the derelict reaper. It pretty much has that vibe of "bad shit is gonna go down" and you never know when.....
Scariest moment in a non-horror game

I agree man, the flood was pretty intimidating and frightening since it lives up to its name.mojodamm said:
though....by the time you get to the end of The Library you just wanna never see them again because youve seen so many
I know this may sound odd but the most immediate fright I (and a few of my mates who were there at the time) have had is in Mirror's Edge
Basically, I was on the bit where you have to time your runs between trains to get to a certain point...After waiting ages for a train (this was my first playthrough, just to let you all know) I thought to myself "Right, it's all good, there aren't any trains coming". Turned round, and immediately, SMACK!! Hit by a train. The four of us all jumped back in our seats and one even fell over XD
Also for general creepyness of the area...Ravenholm from HL2

I just want to point out that I was 6 okay? The first time I played Jak & Daxter, it was the tutorial level, I was curious so I jumped right into the ocean and tried to swim as far as I could. Then the GIANT PIRANHA SHARK thing came at me and chased me until he ate me alive. Nearly pissed myself.
The whole ravenholm level of Half life 2.
Edit: Ah Ninja'd again
I have to agree on this one. I also thought Fallout 3 was a little scary too.crop52 said:

I would say getting jumped by a spider in Minecraft.
Since I had spent hours building without going out to fight monsters (since I was digging a hole under my house and accidentally had it on peaceful) the long lack of combat made me used to the building aspect.
After harvesting sand, I built myself a cubby hole for the night and waited until just about day break. I stepped outside the door and didn't see anyth-SHIT spiders on my back!
The freakiest though was in GTA SA.
I had just gotten out of the city and was exploring the country side in my motorcycle. Then a thunder storm started up. As I approached a city in the dark, stormy night, I lost control of my bike and rammed it into a building. Since it was smoking I decided to ditch it and check out the town.
I found the place was full of rednecks and I couldn't get another car, so I went back out of town towards the highway hoping to find something. Then, only a little ways out of the town, I heard an explosion and saw this huge black cloud hurdling at me. I ran out of the way and it shot by me, then I spun around to see it come to rest a ways away in some trees.
I wasn't sure whether to check it out or not because, being my first GTA game, I didn't know if it could be something lethal. My curiosity got the better of me, and I checked it out.
I found that it was a plane that had caught fire and done a perfect crash landing towards me. I also learned that those planes in the air weren't just graphics, you could fly them. (then was sorely disappointed with GTA IV. Put them back R*!)

I remember a place in Batman Arkham Asylum where you can see the Joker who has a TV on his head and he talks to you. That stuff was creepy as hell, like a weird dream or something.
In Jak 2, when you go to the sewers for the first time, there's this spot where a metal head jumps at you from the darkness. I played it again this year and I knew it was coming, but it still scared me.

Before buying Minecraft, I had played the Classic version free on the website. I don't know what it was, but the caverns I would uncover (full, mind you, of mushrooms and naught else) freaked me out something fierce. Even my first encounter with a creeper didn't play with my head that much.
Towards the beginning of my first playthrough of Fallout 3 (who knew that game was so scary for so many people) I found a secret passage behind the counter of an old diner in the middle of nowhere. I go down the stairs into a dank room that doesn't have much in it but an old mattress with an obviously tortured skeleton chained to it. As I am staring at this lovely spectacle I hear a faint noise behind me and I turn around to find that two bandit women in full painspike regalia have followed me in and are almost within pulverizing range. After that I took a good 24 hour break.
Also, all of Ravenholm. I can still see the look on Alyx's face as she says it...
"We don't go to Ravenholm"

I couldn't play through Ocarina of Time for a year due to being terrified of being stuck in hyrule field when night fell...fucking zombie skeleton things...
Something that didn't really SCARE me, but gave me serious chills was the "plot" of one of the fallout NV vaults, 42 I think it was. It's essentially Shirley Jackson's "the lottery", and right at the entrance of the vault you can clearly see four skeletons and a pistol with an audio log on a nearby table. listening to the audio log you hear Five people talking like something horrible just happened by their own hands, and they all agree to kill themselves as retribution. the log ends with four shots and the sound of someone running away. The entire vault is a fantastic example of how to write a story in a video game, but the realization of just what went down in there, the twist at the end, and the hilarious (to me at least) final computer terminal, coupled with the fact that I noticed the skeletons and pistol on the way in, but only found the log on my way out, was just perfect. easily my favorite part of the game and I would urge anyone who hasn't played that particular portion to do so immediately.
also this. the character in question is the unusually chipper hippie-esque camp counselor, and that room shines some light on her character and why she acts the way she does. also didn't every teacher have a secret nightmare locked in their head? I only found the same one you did but I heard everyone had one.Drakmeire said:
