hahahahahaha that is awesome! i know what part you are talking about...it's that angel creature that looks like an octopus, right? yeah...that was pretty intense. when it yelled into that doorway and left, i thought "crap, now i have to go in there and wait for it to jump at me from the middle of nowhere."
insomniac really did a great job with that game. when a monster can install actual fear in the player...you know a game "has you"

I did the same thing! Playing alone in the dark on a 50" with the sound cranked up. Nearly had a "sharts" moment

BTW, did any of you play RLH (run like hell) a few years back on the PS2?
That damn game used to make me involuntarily launch the controller and I believe it's the reason, to this day, that I still have a nervous disorder

Alien Trilogy on the psx used to scare the crap out of me. Something about the face huggers always creeped me out.

A similar "alien" is in Resistance, but there was always a bunch of them so it was less scary.

Doom3 also had its moments. It annoyed the shit out of me that you couldnt hold a gun and your flashlight at the same time. Of course if you could it would have been a hell of a lot less scary. As it was when it was completely dark and youd throw the flash light on until you saw an enemy, that proceed to switch weapsons and hope te muzzle blast illuminated the area enough to kill them off.

We also shouldnt forget Silent Hill. The dragging scraping sound coming closer and closer def gave goosebumps!

...when your wife prances around in front of the TV naked and seductive...and as you get up and the excitement your wife must feel that you are going to spend some "quality time" with her, and as you lay your hand on her shoulder, you push her the f*ck out of the way!

I remember the first time I almost had a heart attack was when I was playing the first Resident Evil and you are in one of the mansion's hallways and the zombie dobermans jump into the window and attack you. And the time when the first zombie you think is dead gets up and runs after you. I paused the game and put the controller down so I could calm down.
