Max Payne when you cross the balance beam thing in the satan level with the sounds of the baby crying. Only part of any game ever that creeped me out.AL_GREEN
This. I was so young at the time and it was like 2:00 in the morning... I was freaked for days...
One of my scariest moments was in Bioshock near the start when all the lights turn off and you get surrounded by Splicers that keep attacking. Hearing them laughing but not being able to see them really creeped me. Also the part at the beginning with the female splicer.

The opening to Bioshock will certainly be forever remembered as creepy.
The snowy cottage in Fable 2. The creepy factor worked surprisingly well cause it caught me totally off guard. Considering most of the game (even the dark and evil parts) have a strong sense of whimsy.
the witches from L4D the music and the crying creep me out. though I would like to see a game that has a focus in being creepy rather than full blown horror.
This. Actually, the entire first game I was on my toes. Not so much in the second one though, because Delta was tough as nails! Never really got big into the horror genre though. Resident Evil 5 was more mutants then anything really that creepy. Was Alan Wake any good? I just got a 360 again after 2 years (RRD on my first console....grrrr) so I've been thinking about picking it up.

I was actaully quite disappointed as he certainly was NOT tough. IN the first Bioshock, the Big Daddies were freaking tough to kill or very much tougher than any other opponent. So, one would assume that when you play as a BDaddy in the second BioShock you wont be able to be killed (easily) by a pesky Nitro Splicer or Spider Splicar...I understand they made the game more balanced, but we were lead to believe that Big Daddies were tough sons of a gun to kill...
Shadelight in Fable 3 was quite surprisingly creepy, its just the mix of the darkness, the monsters and the slight feeling of hopelessness I got near the end that made it quite tense and creepy.
SHODAN's big reveal in System Shock was also creepy, you just enter this empty room with a dead body(not saying who to avoid major spoilers) in it and the next moment the whole room falls apart and SHODAN reveals herself. The voice messages you also get from her are a bit unsettling.
Shalebridge Cradle from Thief Deadly Shadows. Just play it and you'll see what I mean.
That...level...traumatized me. The movement of those inmates was just...something else. That whole game is kind of scary if you think about it...
Good call on this level guys. That level really freaked me out too. There were several levels in FEAR 1 that really gave me the willies too. Overall I would have to say that FEAR 1 was the most scary game I've played with Dead Space a close second.
The Valley of Defilement in Demon's Souls. The atmosphere in that game could be felt in your bones, and it lingered with you even when you were not playing the game.

Well for the sake of the game you couldn't be impossible to kill. It was the mindset that I was a big daddy that made it easier to walk around the corner when compared to jack in the first game. For me anyways.
I found the first level of the Phazon Mines in Metroid Prime to be a bit unnerving- funny thing is, I wasn't creeped out at all by pitch-black lower segments. Must have been that echoey music...:|
I thought the school in FEAR 2 was creepy. I just wanted to get out of there.

agreed...schools in those kinda games are just creepy...especially after "exploring" an elementary school at like 3 in the morning while....intoxicated (use ur imagination...wasnt alcohol)

Doom 3 was not very scary until those effing Cherubs turned up. First you walk through a level hearing their creepy-as-hell baby screams echo through the dark, metallic hallways, then in the level afterwards they start attaking you. Something just felt nightmarish and very frightening about half-insect-half-baby-half-robot infants.
My reaction was to start shaking, turn off the xbox and stare into space like a brain-dead person for five minutes, and I very rarely get scared at games.
The first time u venture into the Agroprom research institute underground in STALKER SOC did it for me but ''THE SUFFERING'' wins as most creepiest game by a landslide if u played it you'd know why
