Heavy Rain - Spoilers Ahoy
I first played Heavy Rain at a friend's house, and we took turns playing the characters various scenarios. For once she refused to tell me anything about the game, telling me that she wanted me to experience it for the first time like she had. So I took Madison and Shelby, and she took Norman and Ethan.

So I got to play Madison's first scenario in her apartment. Okay, nice apartment, I totally want one like that, and wow, she's actually kind of hot for a video game character. I got her to move around, looking at photographs, getting a coffee, etc. Then.. I noticed the fridge was open.

I started to freak out, my friend just grinned, and wouldn't say a word. I tried to get Madison to grab her phone when a man ran across the screen. I actually shrieked and tried to get her to the door, only for a freaking army of men to show up. I then managed to flail my way through the motions, making it to the bathroom, only for that guy to grab her and-

... it was all a fucking dream. My friend pissed herself laughing as I tried to stop myself from having a heart attack. It was so frighteningly realistic given the graphics, and the fact I had to act to save her. It hit me especially hard since I always get freaked out when I'm home alone, and that's the exact scenario I sort of dread.

Amazing game though.
