Sorry but, as good as it was, MGS2 does not deserve to be on that list. MGS3 or MGS4 tbh.

That said, I agree with when they mentioned Ravenholm. Jesus, that place still gives me the creeps nearly a year after first playing it in The Orange Box for the 360.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to be up there.

It was sweet going through all of those memories, but hands down the best moment for me has always been the reveal of darth revan in kotor. Would you kindly was pretty sweet, but revan still takes the cake. The final run in Mass effect was also pretty sick.

I hardly think going to Ravenholm warranted being on that list. Several other moments hardly should have been there either. The list is poorly balanced as the article can't make up it's mind whether it wants to be about surprising reveals or surprising gameplay. there is a difference.

The Master Chief riding the bomb hardly should have been on the list. However, the big secret that comes shortly after that moment creating the game's dual presentation should have been.

As regards Metal Gear, the big reveal after the credits roll in MGS4 should have been on the list. What you learn changes the truth and facts of every Metal Gear game ever made. MGS3? You play Big Boss. If that isn't a turn around then nothing is.

Any other games? The Bomb dropped on you in the Soul Reaver series over the latter 2 games about the actual nature of Raziel and in Defiance about the true destiny and purpose of Kain.

This list was OK. If featured a good selection of titles - with only 50 choices you can't please everyone.

If I had one extra game to choose? Yeah, sure... when the Rez boss in Area 4 shifts into a running hominid. Biased, I know, but still impressive.

I think the CoD4 scene is overrated. ''This moment was too close to real for comfort.'' I'm sorry but... no. Don't tell me you're killing thousands of people in a game but when YOUR character dies, you start feeling sick.

1- It's a game.
2- You die lots of times during the game.
3- What about the others you killed?
