12 Best Jump Scares In Gaming History

6. Xenomorph In The Vents - Alien: Isolation

Pro-tip: if you see an ambiguous liquid dripping from a vent, don't walk towards it. That's what a lot of players quickly learned while playing the masterfully suspenseful Alien: Isolation.

Basically, just avoid entering or standing near vents in this game unless absolutely necessary, because there's a good chance you'll become xenomorph food otherwise.

Granted, this isn't a single scripted moment of the game but rather an emergent jump scare, but if you've played much of the game at all, you've probably encountered the pant-soiling screech of the xeno regardless.

Fingers crossed that the game gets a VR port in the near-future. On second thought, for the sake of our collective sanity, perhaps not.
