Yup for scientific use it's great we know.

But what about the games? Sell all the PS3's to the army that'll work

Is perfect for servers and large number crunching calculations. It seems it will O.K. for a game console. The mercury cell is the chip to beat all chips for the next 10+ years. That chips out dose the PS3 cell by 3-4+ terafolps. Too bad that it not in the PS3. I wonder if the mercury cell is the one the U.S. army is using or is it the base cell that is in the PS3.

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
