Playing Fallout 3 I was finishing the Nuka Cola challenge and snuck up to Girdershade because I didn't want to fight the deathclaws but when I was handing the quantums over two deathclaws came through the door killed the girl and killed me. I had never had that happen before or after but it freaked the crap out of me!
I can think of three, two in which were actual HOLY SHIT, while the other was. "FUCK, I am soooo Stupid!!"
1) Metal Gear Solid (stupid one) - Right before you fight Metal Gear, there was that gas room that you had to get out of. I used a few rockets through the doors, thinking that's all I had to do...then found out that I needed to use the key card in cold, room, and hot temps. When I got outside, the Metal Gear started to act up, I had to face it running around a bit, and started to use my...oh wait, missiles were gone because I was trying to open the room, FUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
2) Doom 2 (old school) - Me and my buddy played co-op for this, we ended up playing this one level that was just infamous for one thing...when you enter a room, you go into this one open area with two very giant pillars. Once you enter, the pillars open up to reveal a Cyberdemon (1st dangerous monster in the game) and a Spider Mastermind (2nd). Once we set up the trick (if a cyberdemon and/or Spider Mastermind shoot each other, they'll duke it out) we had to fight the cyberdemon with a few missles, then an ArchVile (3rd most dangerous creature in game) appears and attacks us with Barons of hell (4th). Once we finally, FINALLY managed to get all that, we were walking out into an open area...suddenly, we found ANOTHER Cyberdemon! That got both of our characters to run, only he managed to make it, I was a dumbass and got hit and died when I was carrying the most missles x.x.
3) Bioshock 2: The 2nd encounter with a big Sister...fuck, it wasn't because of anything but I missed the quote of "Big Sister is coming", as I'm walking along. I hear a roar..and turn my character around to see....well..Big Sister just started to run up to me as I managed to spot her. I was running around in circles for five minutes just to keep her from hitting me after she dealt a shit load of damage from the surprise attack o.o.
But normally I do an 'oh shit' moment..alot. I'll run away screaming in Saints Row 2 Multiplayer when I suddenly see four of the enemy team heading in my direction.

In terms of multiplayer I'd have to say a particular match of Capture the Flag on Halo 2. It was on that wide open map with a big grassy field in-between two bases (Coagulation) and there was an enormous battle going on in the middle so I decided to sneak through the tunnels on the side while the other team was pre-occupied and snag the flag. All parts of my mater plan went to fruition and as I strolled out of the base carrying the flag and assuming the enormous battle was still going on my plans were suddenly shattered. Returning from what was apparently a flawless victory was the other team all with a hunger for flag thief blood. I was completely helpless until at the last second when a bloke from my team came screaming from around the crowd in a spectre yelling to run like hell towards the vehicle.
In terms of singleplayer...Ravenholm, 'nuff said.

seeing the HL2 headcrabs for the first time along with the poison zombie and their headcrabs I don't know why they just scare me
My very first one was when I was playing Mario Brothers 2 for NES. I had descended into one of those clay pot/pipe thingies, picked up a key, and a mask started chasing me. Scared the Hell out of my six-year old mind.
Left 4 Dead 2: I was dead, and so were 2 of the others on my team. Only one left standing was Coach (human controled just forget the guy's name). Anyways he's about 94% through the map when a witch spawns. He tries to sneak past her when a smoker grabs him and makes him almost startle her (besides the obvious point of him being screwed from constriction of course), luckily the tongue breaks and he's able to run away.
At that moment the witch is startled by him, the theme plays and he pops his adrenaline and makes a mad dash for the safe room. Everyone on my team is yelling, "RUN FOREST RUN!!!!" and as he enters the safe room and whirls around to close the door he sees the witch literally 1 foot in front of him. Door closes, match ends, witch fails. That moment right there was packed with more suspense than any lame so called "horror" film I have ever seen.

The original Alone in the Dark. It's kind of silly, now: the polygon characters, while fairly innovative at the time, look like wooden puppets on static, painted stages at best.
Anyway... Carnby walks into a room where a translucent ghost sits quietly in an overstuffed chair. Stay away, no worries; the ghost isn't threatening. But if you even brush it, it quietly stands up and...
TURNS INTO A CHANTING, WHIRLING, SCREEN-SHAKING VORTEX OF HORROR. THAT WILL KILL YOU IF IT TOUCHES YOU.
Run awaaaaaayyyyyyy...!

I didn't much mind a Curse so much as I wondered where his friends were. By the time I left the game for good I had more than 40 million SP and had spent most of my career desperately trying to make missiles and rails work (and when it didn't, I could fly an Apoc with the best of them). Very late in my career I stuck to flying a Zealot (I was in a terrible corp who enjoyed playing lambs to the slaughter so the ability to leg it when things went south always seemed like a good idea), but before that it was various flavors of Caldari space cancers. While I was as annoyed as the rest when my cap dropped to zero instantly, my drake had more than enough firepower to remind the curse who outgunned whom, and even with the hardners on I still had double the EHP (and triple the firepower). The trouble is, such fights could take awhile, and if I was stuck with nothing but HAMs all I could do was swat away the drones and wait for the inevitable reinforcements while I tried to slowboat into range or hope the curse slipped inside of 18km for just long enough to scare him off with a volley or two.versoth said:

Oh man, don't remind me. Those were awful. Especially when you're in a narrow room and you can only go back, firing as those fuckers are getting flung at you.Rath709 said:
I have emptied entire goddamned clips into them just to make sure they are 100% dead. The mere sound of them has me running.
Fallout 3, imagine being chased by 4 Deatclaws at lvl 12.
[SUB]It's some scary shit when everything you've got is a hunting rifle with no ammo and a 10mm pistol..[/SUB]

While I didn't exactly run, my favorite "I'm pretty sure I'm boned" moment came from Alien vs Predator (1999 version). For those who are unaware, this game had some serious balance issues with regards to the predator. It had vision modes for every kind of creature in the game, with certain weapons this gave out auto-aim and literally EVERY weapon could kill a marine in one shot. By contrast, it took the better part of a 100 round magazine to the head from a pulse rifle to drop the predator. Worse still, while the marine had to hunt for weapons, ammunition and armor, the predator had all his weapons from the start and carried around a self heal kit that gave full health in exchange for half your total energy store (which took perhaps a half minute to a minute to reacquire. The worst offender of all however was the disc - while it moved slowly enough to be doged if you had some range, in a large enough room it simply killed you on the second pass, and if not that you generally got shot with plasma, or killed by a spear gun or punched to death while desperatly trying to avoid the whirling instant death machine. Suffice it to say, even an utterly unskilled predator player was more than a match for a handful of skilled marines.
Sadly, no one else actually wanted to PLAY as the marines.
My stoy comes from a game of last man standing, where I an a small team of marines were tasked with simply killing the predator. Since this was unlikely, victory was also awarded to the last marine left alive. In spite of our best efforts, within minutes our numbers dwindled and in short order I was left to my own devices. As luck would have it however, I was not completely screwed - I had acquired both the grenade launcher AND the smart gun. Knowing simply hunting around in the dark for the predator would end the same way it did for everyone else, I hatched plan. This level had a particular room with only one entrance or exit for any character (even the aliens had to use the door like a civilized species)(technically it was outside the ship but it was more literally just a largish (for the game) room. After placing six(6!) proximity grenades around the door, I found the best cover I could find that gave a straight run at the door and leveled the smart gun at the door, occasionally pausing to refresh my flare pile so I could see without resorting to putting away the motion tracker. For an eternity I waited (much to the delight of the other players I'm sure).
Eventually, my quarry wandered into my cunning trap, and I heroically sprayed smargun rounds into the fireball while I bolted for the door (This game had deformable explosions - thus my plan actually resulted in a fairly severe injury to myself). Unfortunately, I had hoped against all logic that my trap would have already laid him low but alas, it wasn't sufficient. Without a better plan than "Try the same thing again on the other side of the door" I placed my last six proximity grenades on the door. I waited for the predator to peek around the corner (not quite enough to trigger the blast) and sprayed off a burst from my pulse rifle hoping to draw him in for the kill. Again my cunning plan paid off and he walked through a second stack of grenades. As the hellish noise and flames died down, I noted rather glumly that I had not been given a kill notification but I absolutely KNEW the guy had to be low on health since I had used enough firepower to bring down the Sulaco on the thing.
With nothing left but a pulse rifle I turned the corner and saw the predator backing away to a corner, and knowing that this was the only chance I'd have at it I opened up. Dozens of rounds found their mark to no avail and I noted (to my utter dismay) that he had begun the healing process. Desperate, I fired off every pulse rifle grenade I had in my arsenal and through a streak of fantastic luck managed to snag him in the head. It was one of only TWO times I ever killed a predator by myself in that game, and by far the more epic of the two bouts.
