KOTOR Spoilers ahoy
On Rakata Prime when Jolee and Juhani died, and optionally Mission. Tough pill to swallow, indeed.

I gotta tell you, when Dead or Alive 4 perfected their *cough* 'unique' physics engine, I nearly wept (but mostly in sadness and despair for the general dumbing down of gaming)
Seriously, I think the most moving moment in gaming, personally, was in Kingdom Hearts when you shut the door on Riku and Mikey since it felt like you were dooming them to death, but couldn't help but hope that they would show up again.

As a pretty devoted Christian, the part in Assassin's Creed where you come over the hilltop and see Jerusalem for the first time... I just sat and stared for a while.Crowghast said:

Also, Sniper Wolf's death in MGS1 was a bit moving... excuse me, I have something in my eye...
I think the most moving video game I've ever played was Silent Hill 2. I went through a whole range of emotions playing it, from sadness to absolute terror at the thought of seeing Pyramid Head around a dark corner. ..and when he pursues you and Maria down that dreadful hallway.
Finding out what James had done was just...wow. That was a moment. Then having to...well..at the very end....(if you've played, you know what I mean).
I still cannot play this game in the dark by myself. At least, not for more than 20 minutes. And I have played this game...a lot. In fact, I have it for my PC, my PS2, and for the XBOX. I even named my dog in Fable II, "Eddie". And I almost cried when I played Silent Hill: Homecoming and got the achievement "Shades of James" after beating the monster Siam.
And one more:
The entire game ICO. It's not a very long game, but the entire time I played I was just...terribly sad. Until I met Yorda, but then the ending came around. The ending made me cry.
This post makes me sound like a sap, but let's just say that the times I've cried because of these games counts for about 3/4 of all the times I've cried in my life. Now that...wow. I never really thought of it like that before.

The ending letter in Silent Hill 2. Pretty heartbreaking stuff.
EDIT: And for some strange reason, World of Goo, the level where you had to string them over the windmill. There was this emotional music, and I kept hitting them into it by mistake, and they would shriek, and...shut up, I'm allowed to get emotional.

When I couldn't persuade Wrex to lay down and chill. I had to kill him 
. He is and was my favourite character, but that damned Asley had to kill him, stupid wench. I reloaded a couple of times to see if I can beat the odds, but apparently the dice weren't in my favour, so I had to lose my only real friend. I made sure I maxed out all the persuade or intimidate points at consecutive new playthroughs.
