Scariest video game moments...

[XtRaVa]

I loved the feeling of when playing Silent Hill...erm 3 I think it was. The noise that Pyramid Head made, really shit me up when playing it late at night in a dark room.

Another good one was Doom, why a big guy cant hold a torch and a gun at the same time always annoyed me, some good jumpy bits in that game :D

Eternal Darkness is the ONLY video game that ever scared me...

When my insanity meter was low...It popped up a screen that said "Are you sure you want to delete files?"...I was hitting the 'NO' like crazy, wondering how in the hell I made the screen come up in the first place...It said, "deleting files now" with the loading bar running down on the screen...I was literally SCREAMING, my heart was pounding, I hadn't saved in HOURS...Seri came into the room to see what was happening...After we saw that it was an insanity effect, Seri was laughing at me, and she STILL tells everyone about it...

Stupid awesome game

Game didn't scare me but it made me think my Gamecube was broken. Don't think games really scare but they can provide a good jump if played in the right situation... like that damn dog.

Missile Command used to make my heart race. The very survival of the earth depending on my cat-like reflexes:eek:

But that was after watching The Day After and Testament

In the RavenHolm level of Half Life 2....when those fast screaming zombies are coming up the drainpipe while you are on the roof......scared the shit out of me.

You walk down the hallway on the opposite side of the kitchen for the first time, minding your own business, and that damn dog comes bursting through the window. That was one of the few times I jumped playing a videogame, although I'm surprised there's no love for System Shock there.

I have to agree with the dogs jumping out of the windows, I think the scene with the zombie face was chosen for how famous it was in video game history.

System Shock was creepy but it never terrifyed me the way a lot of the games on the list did. That computer was wicked evil tho.

That was definently in my top 10. But the scariest part of ravenholm to me was when you first see the fast zombies on the roof tops in the distance, and arent paying attention to the one sprinting at you screaming until, wham!

Resident evil 1 (I think) had a part where some zombie ape-lookin' thing first made an appearance, and they showed it coming towards you (evil dead style) in FP perspective...that was kinda "ohhh shit".

Shade - Wrath of Angels...probably nobody here's played it, but it was a fairly decent horror/action title...could've been a lot better though. Thing is, there's a part where you go into a hotel looking for your brother, and then the scene goes interdimensional, there's fire everywhere, and some silent-hill-esque baddies walking around that you KNOW are gonna hurt you some...then, all of a sudden it stops.

Pretty much ALL of the later levels of doom2 had you in a frantic stage...not really fear just...very fast paced...while on that feeling, "painkiller" evoked almost the same.

Alien Ressurection on ps1...some damn fucked up jump scenes in that one...made it worse that your character (as I recall) moved really fucking slow.

Quake 1 - Shambler. I don't really need to say any more.

There's a lot though...I'm fairly certain I'll be able to add more.

aye i hear you on that one. The games a whole lot scarier when you play it on hard, because your KNOW your gonna die if you fuck up with the zombies around.

Striders always creeped me out too.
