I was giving up on video games after high school. But I happen to turn on my Nintendo DS by the lake during the summer. I was playing Metroid Prime Hunter online against some random player (very skilled, cause by that time, only the dedicated stayed to the game, except me, of course). It was the first time I play hunter online, I don’t even remember the name of the map I was playing on. But, lol, at the beginning of the match I sneaked in couple wicked rocket shots across this gorgeous, blue-hued arena. For the rest of the timed match, I ran and hide from this cunning, yet skillful opponent. My heart kept pumping blood in to my head, I could feel the adrenaline ignite fireworks throughout my body. It was the greatest natural high I have ever encountered, and I was utterly terrified the promising defeat that my hunter (opponent) was surly going to deliver. But I out ran the final destiny, because there was no way I could ever give up that moment of LIVING! I was alive and grateful to be the pathetic huntee. Just think, my good sport opponent didn’t just dropped out of that senseless match. Video games are so much more sometimes.

My scariest moment was when i was playing Doom 3. I was walking through a hallway keeping to the walls. I turned a into a different hallway and the lights went out. I turned on my flashlight and 2 imps popped out of nowhere and begun attacking me. By the time i pulled out my gun i was already dead. I literally jumped out my chair when this happened.

The scariest moment I’ve ever experienced in a video game was from Silent Hill with an unexpected visit from some “Grey Children”.

The scariest moment was when I was fighting the top (final) bad dude in one of the Zelda games and the power went out!

It was the first time playing a “walk-through” type PC game (the name had ‘Wolf” in it – years and years ago), and some scary dude jumped out at me and I about fell out of my chair! Really startled me.
