System Shock 2 Cybernetic Midwife





Sorry, don't have any larger proper image, but anyone who encountered it, knows her well.
In fact all monsters in System Shock 2 were shocking back in 1999 (even graphically). Even casual hybrids were scary, grumbling to themself, midwives talking about babies with cybernetic computerized voice and everything was always echoing through metallic space ship corridors.

Half-Life Headcrab



First meet these suckers in Half-Life Uplink. I still remember a dark corridor, a security door where sparks were flying from a digital lock, a growling from a distance. It was one of the first 3D games that i played on my very own PC and Uplink was one of the scariest.

These black headcrabs were way scarier in HL2 then the originals because they made this weird hissing noise and moved faster.



Also the fast zombies in HL2 (pic is without the headcrab)

The alien in AVP Classic. Something about the combination of not being able to see shit, the noise of the motion tracker and knowing that they can come from ANYWHERE.

Tyrant from RE2:



No where near the scariest looking dude, but holy crap when he would jump out at you randomly it scared the shit out of me. Especially the one point where you beat him, and think he is dead, only to walk out of the room and have him bust through the wall and have to fight him again...

I remeber the first time I played that game, I wasn't scared of the zombies, I was scared that he would jump out at me and beat the crap out of me at any moment.

Oh man, you HAVE to play and complete Resident Evil 1. Do you have access to a GameCube? Because the remake of RE1 on that was great :rockout: Actually, its worth picking up a cheap GameCube just to own the entire back collection (nearly) of RE titles. RE Zero, 1 remake, 2, Nemesis, Code veronica X and 4 :D

Nah I don't :( I'll check out EB Games when I go pick up my Gothic 4 pre-order to see if they've got anything, though I doubt it -.-''

Were all those games remade for the Gamecube!? D:

Sorry for getting kinda offtopic guys... :eek:
