10 Powerful Video Game Moments That Gave You The Chills

6. Corridor Woman - P.T. (Silent Hills)

Now we're talking chills of the horrifying kind, and those that are the most affecting when you're still exploring a new area.

Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima's turn as a twin powerhouse of scare-bringers is still one of the standout pieces of software for the year, as although it's 'just a demo', there's easily enough content in the haunted house you find yourself in to be counted as worthwhile.

One of the most horrifying things people reported when playing through is how the zombified woman that can kill you in one disgusting animation actually strikes at random, meaning that even on repeated playthroughs you're always on edge. One thing that's not random though, his her first full-body appearance - something that turns up after a few walks down the same corridor, leaving her stock-still in the centre in a really bone-chilling way.
