Recently Silent Hill 2 has got my pants soaking and I'm only at the beginning.
Also the Dunwich building in Fallout 3, I flat out refuse to go in there.

I am a little pansy, so when I first played Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare. It scared the living shit out of me.
Fighting Sheegoths in Metroid Prime when I was a kid, holy effing cow!
but they're easy now.
and then Mass Effect 3's last mission was way gripping, I felt like I was fighting for the Galaxy!

When I was like 8 or something and first got Halo, the 343 Guilty Spark mission scared the crap out of me as soon as I encountered the flood. I don't play any horror games on my own. My imagination is too active for me to do/watch scary stuff on my own. Pussy I know.

Yes, its dated, but when I was a kid it terrified me. You'd navigate this 3D maze trying to find these guys to kill them, but you'd also hear their steps as they approached. The closer they were, the louder the noise. Sometimes they were on the other side of a wall, though, so you'd be freaking out thinking they were about to jump you but they were actually out of reach. Very effective for its time.

Silent Hill 2, the bit where pyramid head is staring at you from the other side of the bars in the hallway, I was 8 years old when I first played it, I had nightmares for days after that.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter on the Malastar level. You are approaching a factory through a jungle and in the jungle are these alien tigers that can essentially one hit kill you. They also like to hide...
I was freaking out because I could hear it breathing and growling, then I hear a roar. I pause the screen and behind me just in time to see two claws reaching for Jango Fett.

*sobs silently in the corner*
I hated that level. In a good way. Also, not that scary but great atmosphere - the Ocean House Hotel in Bloodlines. Playing for the first time, I went in expecting nothing significant, after all I had been assured there wouldn't be anything significant. And the level managed to keep me on the edge of my seat nonetheless. THE LAUNDRY ROOM! Oh god, the laundry room made me cringe.
How about my story: replaying Ravenholm around midnight in the dark with headphones on. It's silent now but I'm trying to listen for the godawful zombies. I hear the sound but dismiss it because it's not a typical zombie sound. But then, it wasn't a typical in-game sound either... And a hand grabs me from behind.Hosker said:
My mother wanted to ask me was I going to bed soon (fair enough, I had to go to school early on the following day). As luck would have it, there were no firearms, knives or other objects that could serve as weapons within an arms reach. I might have had a parent less that night otherwise.
In one of the expansions to the first F.E.A.R game there was a room with a bunch of enemies that are pretty much invisible and very fast moving, but weak and easy to kill. At one point I entered a smaller room and thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I shot *EVERYTHING* in that room.
Have you tried Metro 2033? That game delivers such a good atmosphere, the people living in the metro stations... And of course the tunnels. One of the most immersive FPS games I've playedablac said:
And is it scary? Well, tell me after you gone through the Library... Damn that place to hell
Dead Space 1, I was up against the necromorph you cannot kill.
I had 20 bullets of my pulse rifle and no stasis.

I don't have many horror games, so Half Life's Ravenholm level. Amazing how a change of scenery can turn fun-to-shoot throwaway enemies into horrifying freaking abominations.
You know, that wasn't what scared me about that scene. I was used to monsters and creatures appearing in places I couldn't really reach. Things writhing in the distance, etc. But when I came back through there and he was gone?ChrisRedfield92 said:
Fuck me...
Call me crazy, but the derelict Collector Vessel in Mass Effect 2 managed to scare the fuck out of me despite being in full light and not being alone. Somehow, the constant threat of "where the hell is everybody?" combined with the best scary soundtrack ever and EDI's constant "there is something wrong here" managed to hit the right strings.
Seeing a battlefield but not the enemies you are expecting is scarier than hearing random noises all the time to me.
Dead Space tried twice as hard and was half as scary as that single level.

Definitely Amnesia, probably the prison part, I went through that entire place insanely slowly and carefully crouched, so tense.
