On a search to uncover the truth behind her grandfather's death, Alexandra Roivas begins exploring his Rhode Island mansion. After collection a selection of useful items in a given room, she makes the heart-pounding mistake of examining a seemingly-benign bathtub, only to bare witness to the shocking imagery of a dead woman bathing in her own blood. The game makes a great play with its sanity mechanic whereby failure to keep the requisite bar near full will cause the environment to birth freaky events, whilst your character quickly descends into insanity thanks to encounters such as this.
14. Tomb Raider: Underworld - Kraken Tentacle
Here we have the gaming heroine that is Lara Croft gracefully swimming around in the oceans of the Mediterranean in search of an underwater entrance to Avalon. After fending off a school of sharks with her harpoon gun (or a tranquilliser gun in case you're fond of ocean carnivores) she finds the entrance and begins to solve the mechanism to move forward. Evading various illuminated-jellyfish, Lara continues splashing around in the murky water corridors until a giant tentacle (belonging to a Kraken that you end up feeling sorry for) begins whipping and thrashing around before her face and then hastily disappearsthrough a gap in the rocks. Normally you would say "No thank you" at this point, but it is Lara Croft and she is in a wetsuit.
