That's right, we're not just talking MMOs; I want to know what gaming moment has spooked you more than any other: Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Jak and Daxter 2. Or was it a close match in Minesweeper and you were terrified to accidentally click a bomb. Maybe it was the first jump scare in Dino Crisis.

I've played quite a few horror games and been spooked a few times, like in Cry of Fear and Emily Wants To Play. But the scariest moment in my gaming history was my first raid in World of Warcraft. I was so scared I would screw up, the sweat pooled in my keyboard. There's nothing more terrifying then feeling clueless with 39 other people who might scream "MINUS DKP" if you forget to loot a corehound.

But we want to know, what's you spookiest moment in any game. Let us know in the comments below!

From Mega Man II to Ape Escape, I've been playing games for as long as I can remember. I've spent months killing porings in Ragnarok Online and more recently lived a second life in Eve Online. I usually play as gUMBY, gUMBLEoni, or gUMBLes in-game.
