What was the scariest moment in a game that wasn't a horror game.

For me, its gonna have to be in the original Halo (you know, the good one) and in the library I was in a moment of clarity. when suddenly I heard a growl from a flood. Turning with my shotgun I expected to shoot it dead. When I turned I was surprised to find their was nothing there. Confident, I turned back on my original path and to my shock and horror there was a flood in my face trying to eat me. Ahhh.

(Also its worth mentioning that i was 11 when Halo came out)

Mine's from RE4

Spoiler: I don't know if this belongs in a spoiler tag, but what harm could it do?

When you're in the kitchen in the island on the final chapter and the flaming guy bursts out of the person-sized oven. Scared me so much I fell out of my chair.

Shadow of the Collosus, the final one, standing on its head with this much grip (_)

In Oblivion where I was exploring some Ayleid ruins and it all goes quiet then BAM! a trap gets me as well as opening a hidden door to zombieville. That was pretty scary.


Well it was 1am.

During that extra mission in Cod 4 on the plane. I got really nervous thinking "Shit, this plain is going down, hurry, hurry, hurry" . Always thought I'd be too late.

Also, one time in oblivion I was on the grey prince quest and this wolf jumped at me from the left side of the screen, scared the shit outta me because it was in the middle of the night and there was long silence before.

Giygas. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gbG_gzgyJI] Scarier than anything else I've ever heard of in a game.

I get stupidly scared on all timed missions. I'm always so terrified that I'm gonna run out of time; I actually start getting scared XD

I can't remember the game, but I had been playing it for several hours and then it just froze on the last level.

Apparently the look on my face was horror in it's epitome.

Beyond Good and Evil when i realized that i can't beat the final stage of the boss fight normally, so I just turned my keyboard around to deal with the reversed control scheme

In Fable 2, when I visited the little cottage in the snow

HL2-

Ravenholm.

 

[Zukonub]

When a fiend on FF9 disc 4 uses venom breath, because that freezes the disc for me.

Those Mole Rats in Fallout 3 always make me jump, you never hear them coming until they're right behind you and BAM!

Thief: Deadly Shadows-The Asylum level. Although I liked the ship more, the Asylum was way scarier!

Learning in FFX that Seymour killed off the Ronso. And also, Anima's lower half. -shudder-
