Scariest video game ever?
Wred:
Doom 3 is decently jumpy, however after about 20 minutes of playing it loses that. The more I played it, the easier it got to see the little nooks and crannies things are going to pop out of.
The Haunted Hotel in Vampire The Masquerade scared the bejesus the first time I played through it. Childrens voices going from giggles to screams... scary stuff. Lights flicker and the words GET OUT are written on the wall right before your eyes. Great scary ambience.
Halo even had its nice jumpy parts once the Flood show up.
Moriarty:
Lets see now - From personal experience:
System Shock 2, especially the moment when Shodan appears in a blaze of Matrix/Lawnmower Man style graphics and all your hope about seeing a friendly face falls out your bottom. The first system shock scared me too, since you knew it was Shodan from the start, but she'd continually hack your comlink at key points to shit you up even further 0_o)
Any Marine/Predator level after the first on AVP 1 and 2: Its this point the facehuggers appear :|
Ravenholm, Half-Life 2: It doesn't help when you are at a dimmed lights LAN party wearing headphones and some 16 stone bastard decides to grab you be the neck from behind
From second hand experience, the Cradle level from Thief 3 is supposedly the most traumatising game moment. There was a huge article about it in PC Gamer UK, and its especially effective in a game where you are trying to be sneaky since you jump at sudden noises and movement on normal levels :)
neomang5:
By far, the scariest game ever was Eternal Darkness : Sanity's Requiem
If it wasnt the crying woman sound in the background, the pure fright from your character suddenly falling to pieces, the statues gaze following you in hallways, or any of that, it had to be the idea of a normal, spindly little girl going up against a GOD... a tad scary there
Second would be RE4... Smart enemies = Hella Scary
Wred:
I will never be able to get into RE4. The idea of smart zombies just plain pisses me off. THEY'RE ZOMBIES! They are the walking dead. T-Virus or no, They are walking partially decomposed corpses. Their only instinct is to eat the brain right out of your skull.
Ozymandias:
They aren't zombies in RE4.
