Horror games are designed to scare the ever-loving fuck out of you. But what about those scary moments from non-horror games?
Frankly, I feel these moments work so much better than horror games, because you don't expect moments like these to happen.
Half-life 2
When I first started Half-life 2, it was giving off the standard action sci-fi vibe. So imagine my surprise when I found myself in Ravenholm. I mean Alyx did say "we don't go there anymore...." but I figured it was a simple bad memory. The zombies looked absolutely terrifying, even more so than any other form of zombies from other games. Especially when you set them on fire, and they let out those disturbing screams of pain
Batman Arkham Asylum
I am not talking about fighting the giant version of scarecrow; I am talking about all those hallucinations sending Batman into a bad memory lane. It was sad and depressing, and that 4th wall break threw me off hard.
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Even though this game is dark, I would say is far from being a horror game. There are lots of disturbing and creepy moments, but I'd have to give this one to those invisible rats from Arbiter's Grounds. Seriously, I am running around in a wolf form, and all of a sudden I slow down and midna is freaking out. I turn on the scent to see a bunch of rats sticking on to me. I dropped the controller and even let out a small scream
