10 Scariest Video Game Moments Of The Generation

Nobody forgets their first trouser browning moment in a horror video game. For many it would have been thanks to those bloody dogs from Resident Evil 1, or Scissorman from Clock Tower popping by to slice your shins off, however if The Evil Within is to be your first foray into fear then surely the moment when Laura bursts onto the scene will be the moment you double your dry cleaning bills.

Exploding out of the ground, built of a mass of spider-like limbs and screaming more than the lead singer of Saxxon after stubbing his toe, Laura is an exercise in shock jump terror. What follows next is a desperate retreat, firing whatever you have to hand at her to slow down the inevitable harm she presents.

It's a moment that will catch everyone off their guard, and even those returning to the game for multiple playthroughs will only ever go as close as is necessary to proceed to her trigger point.
