We're not looking for a genre list of horror games here - though we expect a few to make an appearance! - but instead the moment of most intense fear you can remember feeling in any game, of any genre.
Don't tell us about the game or why it's scary in general. Tell us about the moment: what were you doing before, what did the game do to make you so scared and why was it so potent, what was the sensation like in your body?
Tell us about the experience in written or video form, and feel free to enhance your answer with third-party clips of the game, if you can find relevant ones. Submissions will be judged on how well they explain why the moment was so scary and - if you can - how well you make us feel it too. The best ten get $4 each. BOO!
Task: Tell us about the scariest moment you can remember in any game
