Scariest moment in Gears

Now, everything listed may not seem scary any more, but I am thinking about the First time through the game.  Sitting alone, in the dark....  whooooooooo.

Okay, here are a few of mine in no particular order.

First time killed by the Kryll.   Lonely dark streets.  Shooting propane tanks

Crashing through the floor and being assaulted by the Wretches.  Remember scrambling up the ladder only to fall back down a few minutes later?

Last stand at the gas station.   Felt like I was at the Alamo.  Boomers stomping out of the darkness.  Running out to fuel up the Junker, looking over your shoulder in fear that Locust will be on top of you before you finish.

First time with the Bezerker.  Crash!  through the wall.  Screaming!  Not sure what to do next!

Two Boomers!   Remember the scene where one of them squashes a rat with his boot?  Then, you've got to fight them.

Facing Raam!   Not a great boss fight.  But man! it was creepy with the Kryll hovering around him and especially when he got up Real close!

I know we are all Waiting for the Game and Love to be fed spoilers.  But I am kind of pissed off that I now know about Skorge.   I probably would have peed myself the first time he jumps onto the screen.  Maybe I still will....    I want to stop watching the trailers!   Kind of like driving by an accident.  You Have to look.

Anyway, post any of your favorite Scary moments.    AND, we should ALL link up with a buddy for Co-op Gears 1 before the release.

      the spoilers.  I actually didn't buy Gears one until a month after its release.  Almost didn't buy it at all.  Funny thing is, I had heard pretty good stuff about it, and I don't know why it was that I wavered.  However, as my Bon Enkai (Forget the Year Party) approached, I decided it would be a hoot to take something this over-the-top to the event...and bought it.  Wow, was I surprised! I just whipped through the campaign all on my own, and most definitely part of the enjoyment was that I had no idea what was coming - and I couldn't believe how FANTASTIC the game was.  

      Actually, come to think of it, places like Eurogamer, and Edge Magazine gave the game an 8.0.  That may have been part of my reason for holding out.  Similarly with the MP, I had heard less than positive things about the lobby, netcoding and dudes that actually play the game, and so I didn't actually try online MP until that January or February.

      I have a feeling that Gears 2 is going to receive a better aggregate score.

      (Sheesh, I just checked and even at that, it got a 94 average!

      Anyway, each time I tried out a new feature, I never looked back.  

      Gears 2.  There are so many reasons to be looking forward to this title!

    Bezerker scream and it crashing through the wall was cool as hell. Then busting out the hammer of dawn and burning that bastard to a crispy well-done. Ahhh memories
