Scariest Gaming Moments

the very same thing happened to me and it scared the CRAP out of me Whoever mentioned the ladder scare from F.E.A.R:
Oh. My. God.
I swear to god I shut down my computer and my screen as I was nearing the end of the ladder, I just startled.
The memorable intro from Bioshock comes to mind, when you're helpless inside that...the...submarine-round-thing-with-lights-and-incredibly-fragile-wires-apparently-thingy. I can't, for the life of me, recall the name of that thing. I got over it 2 minutes in, and the game stopped being scary from then on. Still pretty atmospheric though.
There was some weird audio glitch in Left 4 Dead. I was playing Co-Op on Expert on Blood Harvest (it was right around that part where you have to start the train so the bridge gets knocked down, I think it's the mission before the finale). Anyway, those who played that might or might not recall some sort of a shack or barn, painted red. We were all just sprinting in front of it, when I decide to go check in the barn to see if any Molotovs' had been left there by careless other survivors. Anyway, as I go in I just run in, my flashlight was turned off 'cause there had been a Witch earlier and I forgot to turn it back on, I pick up a molotov and turn right around. Boom! Right in front of me, a damn TANK! I had not heard him, nor had the music started playing when he started following us. I just turned around and he was there. Needless to say I think I woke up my neighbors screaming on my microphone for support.
EDIT: I thought of two more actually:
When I was 5 or 6, I remember being scared so bad by those Opera-singing and Cuddling zombies in Ocarina of Time. The truly funny part was in Majora's Mask near the 4th temple, I remember seeing the exact same zombies. I was like: You're kidding me right? So I never finished that temple...
Those damn regenerators in Resi 4. Ugh. Especially when you first see him and you have to enter this room right next to him. And then the freezer room. And then the spiked one that you see on a camera but can't figure out where he is. And then that garage-thing where they both pop out of nowhere, twice!

A decent amount of System Shock 2 but specifically I remember going into the medical section and being scared shitless. Granted I was a little young but damn that game was scary.
I missed the first post you mentioned so I'll just say it here. The first time I played that level the bear scared the shit out of me. Almost literaly.KoRn_Leader said:
The same thing happened to me in the surgery center there was a desk full items i was raiding then the lights flashed and there some doctor looking splicer just staring it didn't even put it's arms up, just staring. Even though I blasted it with the double 00 its still the only thing that's genuinely scared me since I played Re one when I was like 8.Eldritch Warlord said:

I was at a friend's sleepover when Halo had just been released. There were about five guys there, including one fat guy. He fell asleep right before the Library. After one particularly bad part of the level, we thought we were all clear, when we heard a slithering noise, like a ton of the infection forms scuttling, coming from right behind us. The other player and I turned around and started shooting immediately, but nothing was there. Then the noise came back. After the second instance, we discovered it was the fat guy, who was semi-snoring, and making the sound.
Pokemon: Ash whited out...
just kidding, probably in condemned when you zoom in on mr. tibs or whatever's face for the second time. there is now an indentation in the ceiling.
either that or EVERYTIME a monster stops playing dead in Dead Space. The indentation is now bigger
