Dead Space 2’s 10 Most Horrifying Moments

Any time a video game is touted as "scary" or "terrifying," the Internet will inevitably fill up with macho players trashing it and talking about how they've been more scared by all the weights they've been lifting instead. The classification of what makes a game fall into the survival-horror genre then ensues, exposing the purists ("If you have more than two bullets and don't spend most of the game solving puzzles, it ain't scary!") and the progressives ("Sure, you're mowing down enemies with an infinite rocket launcher, but they have, like, three eyes!

And so we’ve reached it, the end of Isaac’s quest on the Sprawl. As he reaches the Marker, he discovers that his death is necessary to finally activate the Marker, and as we should know by now, Isaac ain’t having none of that!

Through a series of events I won’t spoil here, Isaac gets pulled into his own mind, facing his inner demons in an attempt to stop the Marker from taking him completely and destroying all of humanity. Needless to say, the final battle is as intense as they come, and has an unforgettable conclusion whether you succeed or die trying.
