Yeah, that scanner was made for video games. Awesome bit of gameplay! Hope Colonial Marines captures that. Dunno what is scarier. When it goes quiet, or when it pings a xenomorph

At least you sorta know when and where it's coming from!

Ravenholm that was scary but for me I dunno it was scary in your face.

I find scary spooky vibes worse, like silent hill. I played the demo and never saw one bad thing but man I had to switch it off the vibe and atmosphere scared the ..... out of me

I thought The Cradle was scarier than Ravenholm, personally. I think that level still stands and the one that's creeped me out the most of any game.

System Shock 2 had some great bits, especially when played with quadraphonic sound in a darkened room.
The Cargo level with all the boxed droids was great

It wasn't so much the action, as the atmosphere around it, similar to AVP.

The first one on Medal of Honor when the horror hits of you having just spent money on it.

Gears of War 1 when the berserker rams the door

My mate told me that the door would open when you walk up to it. I subsequently crapped my pants and also punched my friend XD

Siren Blood Curse - The chapter where you play as the little girl escaping the hospital. I almost **** my pants.

Amnesia - All of it...

system shock 2 - psychic attack monkey shrieks

Stalker - climbing through the reactor core into the sarcophagus while that deep booming voice repeats over and over eeeeek

Ah yes. The sound really did make that game at times.

"Babies need sleep"

That bit was properly unsettling.

And the times you'd be taken unawares by a protocol droid's "excuse me... Xerxes won't like this..."

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC when you have to go underground and encounter your first bloodsucker. I have never crapped my pants so much before or since that point in any game.

Some of the levels in batman begins were quite scary. What a great game.

jmc007 · 7 Sep 2011 at 22:19

Those Ninja's in F.E.A.R., man those things move quick and gave me the shivers like no other game has; infact the closest I can think of in a game was playing AVP on the Jaguar.

Resident evil 2, when the licker was inside the police station at the start and burst through the window and then the zombies in the corridor. Hahah I used to ask my mam to watch me play coz I was scared :'(
