20 Most Intense Video Game Moments Ever

11. Being Asked To Kill A Child - The Walking Dead (Season 1)

Alright, back to the horrifying stuff.

Narrative gaming at its finest, season 1 of The Walking Dead remains a career-best for Telltale, as which other game stories could actually set up the sad state of a zombie-infected child, and ask you to decide on their fate?

Options include backing out and forcing the parents to do it, or picking up the pistol yourself. In a really affecting detail, the longer you wait in this scene the more Duck's breathing will slow, as the zombification process truly takes hold.

It's a stark reminder that zombie fiction doesn't have to go the way of action and spectacle, the genuine horror of losing someone to a soulless husk of their former self is far more emotional. Not to mention, the endless conversations surrounding the sea of grey that is "doing what's right".
