Most disturbing/unforgettable moment in gaming.

Competing in the Man Festival in Shadow Hearts: Covenant and finding out that the punishment for losing is:

a buggering

Then discovering the the prize for winning is:

a buggering

Spoiler: What kind of choice is that...? I'd say it's pretty sick!

You're buggered if you win... you're buggered if you lose... but you only find out when it's too late to back out of the Man Festival, so you're going to be buggered no matter what happens.

It certainly is a unforgettable moment in gaming, but it's also pretty damn disturbing because, no matter how much they try to cover it up with euphemism, funny music and comedy sound effects, the underlying tone is pretty sinister and dark, especially as the punishment or congratulatory buggering takes place in front of the rest of your party (possibly including the 14 year old daughter of the Tsar of Russia, Princess Anastasia Romanov).

That is truly the scariest contest of all time.

The most unforgettable and disturbing part of gaming for me, sadly? Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, when Mayor Stubbs throws off his towel in the steam room, and your confronted with what looks to be one of the hot-dog models attached lovingly to a human form.

All humor aside though, one the most shaking moments for me in gaming would have to be something along the lines of:
