i don't get scared to often in games..(mostly cause i sorta avoid games which are known to be scary) But for me it would be the oven man in resident evil 4...that was unexpected...

Probably in Condemned when I had to use forensic tools (required concentration) inside a dark basement while being sneak attacked by dozens of crawling enemies.

In Silent Hill, that rumbling locker room door with the cat. And then... that same one in the freaky version of the school, still rumbling, and nothing in it but blood. Turn around walk out...BAM! DEAD BODY FALLS OUT!! That scarred my eleven year old self, I'm sure it'll scare my nineteen year old self too, I just flat out can't play that series.

The regenerator were pretty scary every time for me :P But what first came to mind when I saw the thread title was every time I heard a chainsaw revving up in Resident Evil 4. It made me panic.

That scared the daylights out of me. Usually enjoy the multiplayer more because I always get the crap scared out of me in the single-player.

The first time I played through the village in Resident Evil 4.

Anyone who claims that didn't scare the **** out of them is lying.

That would have to be Condemned as a whole. I was scared even when playing with friends and didn't even dare to play by myself. If you want a truly scary experience, then turn off the lights and play condemned all night! It's wierd though because no other games really scare me.

We went about 2 minutes into the 1st lvl and there was some body hunched over we approached him he turns around with red evil eyes and blood all round his mouth, and me and my m8 both run out screaming... wow, icouldnt get to sleepfor a very long time after that

The Gears of War level in the dark abandoned town. I was expecting it to play like a survival-horror game, but after 10 minutes of pretty standard GoW gameplay I let my guard down. Then a wretch bursts through the door and attacks me, and a freaky sound effect plays. Those wretches arent scary in themselves, but usually they announce themselves by screaming :

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I really wasn't expecting that one. Freaky

You sir, are absolutly right. This is the scaryiest moment ive ever had, ingame or RL. I was playng F.E.A.R on my computer, had the screen cloned to my tv aswell, Becouse a friend of mine just had to watch this game. I ran over to the ledder, grab on to it, and was ready to be scared the crap out of when i got down. I wasent preperd at all that it would happend at the top. So i got my friend sitting in the sofa, screeming becouse he got scared the crap out of, and I got me over here, screeming just as much :)

I wasn't scared by Halo CE personally, but first-person games do have the tendency to creep me out. Take Myst for example. You're all alone on this creepy island for whatever reason. And then you open this book with people talking in it. WTF?! And then you go to some "Age" and really creepy unexplainable music starts playing that you hear throughout the whole series whenever you enter an Age. It's not a horror game at all. It's also not an action game. But it still manages to creep me out.

Well, lately most of Condemned really wore out most of my nerves... but the best scariest moment I've ever had, was when me and a friend were playing Clive Barkers Undying. We were at the mansion, and a figure of a creepy flesh-like Aaron was standing in the distance swinging in a chain. Then the lights suddenlygo out, and when they come on again, he was right in front of us screaming and attacking us with the chain.

Here's a pic of what we were dealing with...

I hate games where I have to swim under water in a wide open area. Just the thought of some giant underwater creature looking to eat me doesn't sit too well.

The first time I played Silent Hill and the opening alleyway sequence. I was used to playing games like Resident Evil which focused on a classic formula of zombies walking towards you. But SH brought a different kind of scare and I honestly didn't know what to expect from the game, which made it pretty scary overall from a psychological sense.

The Cradle level in Thief III. Freaky. But I think we're in for some pretty weird things with bioshock.
