The last level of Halo Reach came close for me.

Heavy Rain, most defiantly. In many scenes (mainly the trials), I truly felt like Ethan's life was at stake and I really didn't want to fuck up because then his son would have died. :( Most tense and exciting moment in my gaming history are found in that game.

Ahh no idea how to add spoilers, someone help me out please?

Multiple times I nearly cried. At the start when I was helping my kid out with homework and Ethan sat down next to him, and the piano kicked in. That little song always makes me feel sad in combination with that game.

I actually did cry when I was near the end. As Jayden I was trying to solve the crime in ARI. I thought I had all the time in the world, but then his eyes started to bleed. I couldn't manage to solve it in time and I had to painfully watch Jayden slowly die before me. I was so stunned when he died that I was paralysed for several seconds. I then shut the PS3 off in a hope of replaying it so he wouldn't die but it had already saved.
Just quote me, and you can see what I did. That's how you learn to do anything on these forums.

I agree. Since there's nothing to inform you, you're severely limited in your posting options when you first come here.

Mass Effect
I was really intimidated by Sovereign when you first speak to him. The music and the voice made that moment perfect.
Mass Effect 2
The first time I did the suicide mission both Garrus and Tali died, I was almost moved to tears.
Braid
The last chapter when you realise that you are not saving the girl of your dreams but you are just a creepy stalker.
Knights of the Old Republic
I am Darth Reavan, what? when? how? why?
Final Fantasy IV
I followed my kings orders and killed a dragon in a cave to deliver a package to a nerby town only to realise that my king only wanted the village destroyed and that I had helped him do it. Also I orphaned a kid by killing the dragon.
Dragon Age: Orgins
There are many reasons to why Dragon Age moved me but one scene is the Brood Mother. Not only is the creature disgusting but it has a morbid and sad backstory.
Shadow of the Colossus
Every time I killed a colossus it felt wrong and when the shadows came out I was terrified. It did not surprise me when I learned that Dormin was evil but it did shock me all the same.
Silent Hill 2
Finding out that James killed his wife.
Heavy Rain
Watching some of the things Ethan did for his kid was very tuching.
Also Scott Shelby as the Origami Killer surprised me a lot.
Red Dead Redemption
John Dies, also in undead nightmare when you talk to the last sasquatch only to learn that his kind is not evil at all and some maniac has almost killed them all in the belief that they were said evil. That maniac is John himself.
Alan Wake
You are a writer that has written another writer into axistence that also wrote you into existence so that you could defeat the darkness that only exists because it forced you to write about it. Holy hell that is a lot to figure out.
Resident Evil 4
When you play as Ashley. It was so scary that I paused over and over again only to catch my breath.
Okami
The game itself is wonderful. I felt sympathetic to it's world and wanted to heal it from the dark corruption
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Deku Tree died? but I just tried to save him! Why did he die?
The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask
The eyes of Majoras mask scared me shitless, I was also sympathetic towards
skull kid since he was lonely.
Gears of War 2
Dom sees an illusion of his happy wife hugging him only to find out that she is basically mindless because of all the torture so he has to shoot her.
Call of Duty 4
The nuke killing you.
Earthbound
Giygas.

And the most recent one:

Minecraft
Ssssssssssssss...

There are many more moments but I am really tired now so I will stop here.

Most of these games, but I'll pick out some specific parts.

Mass Effect:
Saren shooting himself in the head, then being reanimated by Sovereign. I was shocked when he shot himself and freaked out when got back up again. And the ending, of course.

Mass Effect 2:
Tali finding her father on the Alarei ;_;

Persona 3:
You die at the end, but you get the impression that Aigis is going to be okay living like a human without you. I can't think of any bittersweet ending with better writing or execution. Those last lines of dialogue are just heartbreaking.

Persona 4:
Rise's romance subplot. She was the opposite of everything I was expecting when they introduced her (in a good way). Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pAb68IUR3E

Silent Hill 3:
Heather is the only character with good acting in the game, so she's very easy to sympathize with.

Fallout: New Vegas:
"Because war.. war never changes"

Dragon Age: Origins
My character dying at the end, and I had like, become attached to her. Leaving her Leliana at the gates after having her as the love interest made me bawl my eyes out T_T.

Assassin's Creed
Finding out you have been nothing more than a simple pawn for the whole game really pissed me off, like in a good way. I wanted to kick the master's goddamn ass.

World In Conflict
Bannon's sacrifice really changed my opinion of him... Well as it should have, hell they did a good job to make you hate the bastard up until the Battle of Cascade Falls.

Gears of War
The berserker always scared the living shit out of me, I felt like it was really hunting me. Just imagine fighting one of those as a real COG soldier in person T_T.

Gears of War 2
The COG going on the offensive seemed to inspire me ingame, I wanted to slaugther the locust after Prescott gave his speech. Tai committing suicide because of the sheer physical torment, I just couldn't believe it, and he was so tough before, like he could shake off anything. When Dom finally found Maria I just lost it, I cried so much after that.

Left 4 Dead 2 (Seriously)
When you find Bill dead in The Passing I remember thinking "no, no this isn't real, he can't be dead, no no no no no!!". I never expected to be emotionally moved by a multiplayer game -_-.

Heavy Rain.
The part after Ethan's(can't spell tonight) son dies and then it skips ahead to where he is picking up his son from his ex-wife's house and he son almost completely ignores him and Ethan looks so depressed and then he does to his small house with his son and....I can't keep writing, I feel like I'm going to cry
the entire game is very moving, but the part that really got me was when he sits down in his abandoned office and watches the video of him and his sons in the backyard. tears.
The game's story makes up for its use of only QTEs.
it's technically not a game, it's an interactive drama experience! any actual skill required would ruin that!
And this is why its so damn hard for video games to pass as art. Its about how it makes you feel and think that matters. Not skill

My three cents.

Bioshock:
An overwhelming sensation of relief and revelation.

Red Dead Redemption:
Speaks for itself.

Mafia 2:
A gambit of emotion...anger, sadness and then acceptance.
try out Mafia 1 it's even worse...

Tetris: All those poor poor lines :(

QUOP: Run on little athlete... Don't forget your crayons :p

But in all seriousness the bad ending of munchs oddysee was saddening.

And Halo 3 when Johnson and Miranda Keyes died :(

You'd better believe I shook that fucking light bulb

Super Paper Mario. Seriously the greatest story for a video game is in this. The antagonists are so well written you could say Chekhov or Shakespeare wrote them. Bleck is a tragic hero!!!

I am a little shocked this thread is still going.

Killer 7. Not even the ending, although it is just as trippy as the rest of the game, but how they relayed a political message into a game without becoming too preachy still amazes me.

Red Dead... I knew what happened because of an asshole friend, but it still was sad. The proper ending playing as Jack always gets to me.
Finding the wounded man in front of the church in Diablo.
Games like STALKER always gave me the sad feeling of what the apocalypse would be like (same with Walking Dead, the TV show).

Metal Gear Solid taught me that you could have complex, involved plots without having to play RPGs. I love that series more than I can explain. I know how overly verbose it is, I understand all the problems with the series, but strip away all the crap, and there's a gem of story in there.

Metal Gear Solid 2. Emma Emmerich's unfortunate demise. I loved her.
Mass Effect II. I cried when i finished due to how badly they fucked up something that seemed to have so much potential.

Personally, jade cocoon, the original. Specifically the part just before the moth forest, the time of gathering.
