Call of Cthulhu had probably the most disturbing ending of any game I've ever played.

Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits. Not a BAD ending, but I've never played a game that left me with such a profound sense of 'Oops...'

For those that don't know, at the end you unwittingly neutralize all the Spirit Stones (a common resource) in the world, which effectively power all magic and technology.
Ok, well, number 1. Well done for being the first other person I've ever known to play that game, and number 2. FUCK YOU FOR NOT USING SPOILERS ON A GAME I HAVEN'T FUCKING FINISHED YET.

Best: Brutal Legend - Eddie saves the world but is perfectly content to let others take the glory.After all a good roadie knows his job is to make others look good(or something to that effect)

Worst: Assassin's Creed 2 - Seriously WTF was that shit about

Most Disturbing: House of the Dead Overkill - Returning to the womb.Enough said

The ending of The Darkness really hit me emotionally. Poor Jackie :(

They better make a sequel! They can't just leave things hanging like that!

The best, by far, was Conker's Bad Fur Day.
The worst, by far, was Gladius.
The most disturbing, I don't know. Nothing much really "disturbs" me.

Worst was Modern warfare 2. Your guy has to fight some bloke who just survived a helicopter crash and he still manages to kick your ass because you are fighting like you forgot everything about fighting. But then suddenly you pull out that can of whoop ass you saved up.

Disturbing was Fear 2. i hated that game so much because of the freaky scenes. I turned around once because my back was up against the wall only to see it was a window and there was alma. Jumped out of my seat. The end was creepy though.

Best was Supreme Comander. Everyone is happy the infinte war is over then boom. Seraphim make there overpowering, hateful, extremely uber unit, return. can you tell i hate them? Good eneding. Each of the leaders is like "sheeet, we are screwed".

Assasians Creed 2 wins a honourable mention in a above areas. It sucked, was interesting and disturbingly, made my mind think. Possible, inprobable by a long shot but still could be possible.

Yeah id say the worse for me was Borderlands too, what really gets me is i saw it coming, i knew it was hyped up way to much in game it was going to be bad. i remember even joking with a friend how i just know some demon monster is going to come out and the aliens are all just trying to protect it from being opened.

Hard to think best, but i sure did love the end of Portal, for sure the funniest ending.

Most Disturbing? nothing comes to mind, maybe if you count not just the after gaming ending but the last fight as well I'll toss out the fetus fight in... um... what was it Earthbound or Mother 3? anyway you get my idea.

Best: Mass Effect. I just love the bit where Shepard walks out of the rubble like a badass, and the awesome music plays.

Worst: Non-DLC Fallout 3. I loved that game so much, and then, I die to save the world. Huh.

Disturbing: More "what the fuck?" than disturbing, but AC II. Because, well, yeah.

Best:
Killer 7: I love mind-frag shows and books etc. so when I got to the ending and all the pieces came together (yes, I'm one of those freaks that actually understood K7) , I was just awestruck.

Hitman: Blood Money: Best way to ring out a game - screw all that subtlety and Silent Assassin stuff - we're going out in a hail of gunfire and chasing down Crispin Freeman.

Worst:
90% of all NES games: Seriously, this was back in the day of passwords and battery back-ups were only to upper-tier games. You worked your ass off to get through the game and usually at the end you were given a single "Congratualtions, You Are Beat the Game!" and then roll credits. It taught a whole generation of children how to become masochists.

Dead Rising: There is no good ending. NONE.

WTF:
Borderlands: I would put this as a Worst, but as I understand it, Gearbox is shaping this game to be a game without an ending. Still, when myself and three of my friends haul ass for three hours straight and bust through waves and waves of enemies, working like a well oiled machine and finally getting to the end where there is no strategy, you just STAND THERE and pump lead into the final boss for two minutes and you win... eh... yay?

Fallout 3: This is to both pre Broken Steel and afterwards. The first because it was a triumphant, "Thanks for playing, Chief!" no matter which way you play the game. Yeah, the narration at the end changes, but still a nonchalant way to go. And post BS because.. there is no ending... unless you count going to Maryland and fighting off alien invaders an ending...

Worst: AC2. Loved the game, the ending killed the experience slightly.
Best: Portal, I loved that game... and the companion cube.
Disturbing: Really don't know, I haven't played any decent horror games.

Best Ending: Metal Gear Solid 4 (after 21 years it finally comes to an epic and satisfying conclusion. Snake, it's been an honour...)
Worst Ending: Assassin's Creed (the first one), Cloverfield ain't got nothing on that!
Most Disturbing: I really can't think of a "disturbing" ending.

Heavy Rain had some sad endings. I mean real downers that made me want to go my other save and look at the happier endings just so I could feel a little better. Imagine a child slowly slipping into the dark abyss that is death and his father lamenting his death. Real dreary stuff, man.
I got a different ending from that, but it left my jaw gaping for 10 seconds before I had to force my mouth closed. Here's what happened for me:

So Ethan has just saved his son, and I let Shelby walk away. Maddison never went to the warehouse because I was unable to find the location of it with her and Jayden never found the location either, despite me having the evidence needed to find it. So I was feeling all happy that Ethan had saved his son, and as he walks outside the warehouse, the cops are there, and that asshole Blake gives the order to open fire. Watching Ethan get shot after all he had been through to save his son, just fuck. I only finished it earlier so it's still very fresh in my mind.
Wow! I hated Blake before but now I down right despise the jerk.
Also what is up with those tanks and Jayden? Does anybody know what was that about?
Yeah blake is a complete prick no matter how much you try to accomodate him.As for the tanks? that`s because you OD`d on ARI (cool glasses)

Most disturbing:

F.E.A.R. 2, by far:

You get raped by a 14 year old dead girl and get her up the pole.... yeah
I never actually got to the ending when I played that game. Was this ending scary? I find it hard to imagine it, tbh.
.
No, it wasn't scary, it was disturbing.

Halo 2.

Sir! Finishing this Fight!

Me: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

CoD4

Hey! Drive around in a jeep, kill a bunch of guys who can't drive for shit, Desperately try to shoot at a hind only to have it blow you up in the worst scripted sequence EVER. Fend off some soldiers, get blown up AGAIN, Zakhaev kills everyone, wait for hind to blow up AGAIN. Shoot Zakhaev, DUN DA DUN DAAH! You're done!

That's the worst closure to any game... ever.

First, forget about my avatar.
Now, with that out of the way, I thought it was a fairly awesome ending. The bad guy was killed, you were the one who killed him, since CoD never had any boss fights, the fact that you got to shoot Zakhaev satisified me greatly.
What's not to like?

Best:
Bioshock's good ending. It's sweet, heartwarming, and satisfying.

Worst:
Um... can I get back to you on that?

Most Disturbing:
Drakengard (technically the "Different Ending", or at least, that's what I think it's called)
Just watch it and try NOT being freaked out- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97GDQOBLk6E
