Metal Gear Solid 3 was a game that knew how to hit you smack in the feelings. Completely forgoing the incredible story for a second, the "fight" with The Sorrow was pretty spine-chilling. It became pretty obvious that you were battling with a dead person in a pseudo-afterlife (his health bar is completely empty), and worse yet you come across the mangled spirits of people you've killed as you trudge slowly up a grimly lit river. Though for me personally, the eeriest part was when you came across a dead school of fish, just drifting there on top of the water. Almost like what they said in Kill Bill, it's the perfect metaphor for death; a fish moving, and then suddenly not.

This music amps up the supernatural aspect for a (more or less) realistic franchise, with ethereal-sounding choir and sound effects that I can't even pinpoint what they are. The song makes you feel pretty much the exact sensations as presented in the game itself; being led on a haunted trek through nature by an undead spirit. The song itself is probably much creepier when hearing it in-game (it actually sounds pretty cool outside of it), yet even if you haven't played MGS3 you can see how it would work.
