Re: Biggest OMG moment
Anyone who has played Eternal Darkness (Nintendo Gamecube only, too bad) will tell you how strange and freaky that game is, not just because of the 'normal' game content, but because of what they call sanity effects.
Your game character (you have several over the course of the game, in different times and places) has a sanity meter, which dictates how much of this strange stuff you will see.
The more frightened your character becomes by the monsters in the game, the lower the sanity meter gets and the effect is that of simulated insanity not only for your character, but also for you, the player.
Some examples include:
The screen goes totally black with VIDEO in green letters in the top right corner.
Suddenly an apparent 'corrupt data' message about your last game save appears on the screen, looking VERY authentic,
and if that isn't an 'OMG moment' then I don't know what,
(oh yes it is upsetting the first time you see it, before you realize the game is just playing with your head)
or
Your character walks into the 'next' room and falls to pieces, literally, for no apparent reason.
(not that you stay dead in those cases)
It is one of my favorite games and were my English good enough perhaps I could write a review about it.
I highly recommend Eternal Darkness.
