10 Fake Game Over Screens You Need To See

10. Isaac Accepts His Fate (Or Does He?) - Dead Space 2

After the first Dead Space ended on a downer jump scare ending, it was easy to believe that the sequel would once again put protagonist Isaac Clarke through the wringer.

In the game's apparently closing cut-scene, Isaac finds himself stranded on the space station known as The Sprawl as its reactors melt down and his life support begins to fail. He simply sits down and appears to accept his fate.

Grimly, the game's title appears and the voice actor credits start to roll as Isaac takes in the carnage around him...but after 20 seconds or so, the credits are interrupted by Ellie, who crashes through the ceiling in a gunship.

The player is then given back control of Isaac as he flies to catch up with the ship and leap aboard, finally escaping The Sprawl in the process.

And in an hilariously self-aware moment, the final seconds of the game tease another jump scare ending, only to subvert it completely (Ellie simply looks at Isaac and says, "What?").
