Has anyone had that moment while playing a video game that will sort of stick with you forever? In the future I am going to talk about memorable videogame moments on my PS2 Blog. I have two of them...these are instances that took me by surprise and showed me at the time how far video games have come.

- Resident Evil, PS1: I always loved (and still do) playing these games in the middle of the night in the dark with the volume up. This being my first Resident Evil experience got me hooked on the franchise. It was durring a calm moment in the game. You're just walking down a hallway not expecting anything, at least until you get to the end or go through the next door. Out of no where a zombie dog comes crashing through the window scaring the **it out me. The sound effect was created extra loud too. After that moment the rest of the game had my heart pumping every time I played.The other significant moment was in

- Metal Gear Solid: PS1. I remember a lot of hype leading up to it's release and read a lot about it in the PlayStation Magazine. I hadn't played any of the previous Metal Gears on the older systems. The boss battle against Psycho Mantis was memorable to me at the time because I remember thinking how amazingly creative and unique it was. The battle made it seem like Psycho Mantis was "reading your mind" by moving your controller (with the vibration function), talk to you about the saved games on your memory card, and by making you think the channel changed by turning the screen black.

Of course since then there have been amazing moments in videogames. But these are just two experiences that have been burned in my head. For some theirs may have come playing an NES game, a Genesis game, or even PONG for whatever reason.
