God-damn that was unsettling. Those Dianogas picked the exact right time to jump you. Fuckers.

holy crap, i hated those guys. fortunately you could GENERALLY hear them before you saw them. and thermal detonators helped. as well as mines.
Gryff:
Speaking of Resident Evil 4 (which people may or may not have been doing): check it.

Ooh, I'm glad this thread's been revived, because I have to refute something.
Every time we have one of these "scary games/scariest gaming moments" threads a bunch of people always nominate the "Robbing the Cradle" mission from Thief: Deadly Shadows. Well, having just played that for the first time last week I feel compelled to say: WHERE ARE THE SCARES?! Seriously, scares in the Thief games come from having nowhere to hide first, and having scary monsters and creepy noises second - ideally a combination of the two (see: the Haunted Cathedral mission in the original Thief). The whole of the Cradle was so drenched in darkness that there was never anything to fear. I mean sure, there were rather creepy electro-shock zombies - but anyone who's played through the Thief series has come up against more zombies than they care to mention; plus, the ones in the cradle always announce their arrival not only with their sound, but with the way the lights start to flicker whenever they approach. Secondly, the ghost in the Cradle mission: well, being scared of her is like being scared of Casper the Friendly Ghost. Except, you know, it's Lauryl the Friendly Ghost. And the staff once you go into the Cradle's memory? Don't even get me started!
. . . Umm, I think that's all I've got to say. Thankyou!

Doom3 was probably the scariest overall experience for me. Granted, it was boring played during the day, but at night, it really was quite an immersive experience, and the cheap shots would scare the shit out of me. I guess it's true about being afraid of what you don't know.
F.E.A.R. was not scary at all, for some reason. Great game, fun and all, but I never actually was scared. I guess I just don't find little girls with long hair and blood all over the place all that scary.
Interestingly, I also found Half-Life 2's Ravenholm level rather unnerving. There was a bit of panicky desperation that ran through me as I tried to complete the levels for the first time (OMG POISON ZOMBIE AHHHH).
Spear of Destiney scared me as a kid. And so did Diablo. I guess I was a wimp those days.
Moo Cakes:
Oh gosh...
Fatal Frame: The Crimson Butterfly was some scary shit.
Then Silent Hill really creeped me out.
ALSO: Resident Evil 4. Oh my god... I swear, everytime I play that I get the jitters.
