Elite, Ultima Underworld 2, Doom, Tie Fighter, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, STALKER, System Shock, Ico, SOTC, Silent Hill 2, Oblivion, Bioshock, Half Life Franchise, Portal, Uncharted 2...  Probably some more.  All, at the time, had moments that were pretty awesome.

More so than Silent Hill 1?

Yeah.  Silent Hill 1 was very good, but it had nothing like Pyramid Head, who I found to be awesome in his own terrifying way.  I decided to pick one out of the Silent Hill games although actually in truth all 4 (can't count Homecoming myself found it very disappointing) had some pretty awesome moments.  Climbing into the tunnel in number 4, the first monster encounter in number 3, etc. etc.

Yeah, he was pretty terrifying, I agree.

But personally, I'd rank SH1 above just for the freaky music coupled with the atmosphere. SH2 had plenty of freaky moments, but the music...they just nailed it in the first one.
