15 Horrifying Video Game Easter Eggs You Totally Missed
8. Gears Of War: Judgment More Creepy Haunted Paintings
Like Hitman, the Gears of War series doesnt usually do in for the more subtle and traditional horror tropes, preferring to go more for the scare them with violence path. Having said that, when it wants to, Gears can do a pretty damn good job of being disturbing - as we found out in Judgement. During the Library level, the surroundings are a bit darker and a lot more eerie. If you start messing about in the abandoned environment, mostly by chucking grenades at things, you might come across a painting. It will come as no surprise to learn that said paintings eyes seem to follow you around the room. Shooting the piece of paper that falls out with the painting might seem like an odd thing to do, but hey this is Gears of War, so you might as well. And when you do, the portrait changes slightly to show a fresh bullet wound, complete with blood trickling down its face. There are several of these portraits, and finding and shooting all of the in a similar manner will cause a circle of blue lights above the original picture. That is generally not a good sign confirmed by the ghost showing up. The ghost does become slightly less creepy when you figure out that it isnt immune to bullets but that first appearance is really freaky, and completely unexpected from a Gears game.
