Metal Gear 2 in particular When Emma died has gotten me every time I played it, just seeing her brother's reaction gets me every time. Then in MGS4 when I saw her picture It got me a little but no tears.
Another game in which I can't recommend anyone play because it an adult game.
The game A DRUG That Makes You Dream, a H-Game(don't judge). The story in it was really good for all the romance choices but the whole story with the one girl really hit me hard and the ending left me terrified then very happy. Wish the game wasen't a H-game then I could play it without feeling so weird.

I can't say I've ever openly wept at anything, but I will admit to tearing up to a few movies (Bicentennial Man and Butterfly Effect).

However there were some games that had me just feeling lost lost and sad.

Gears of War 2: Marias Death (Yes, it's been mentioned to death, but still)
Half Life 2: Episode 2: Alyxs pleas for it to stop make whats the come all the more unbareable, and when she's crying over her fathers dead body her sobbing as the scream fades to black cuts like a knife
Persona 3: The death of Shinjiro Asagaki, and more or less the entire ending. Hard to explain but it still gets me.
Modern Warfare 2: Being betrayed by Shepard as you watch as your comrade is shot and killed and you both being set on fire as he walks away.

Honorable mention:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: The death of Mia Fey in the second case. Even though she had limited screen time she still made herself known and very likeable in that small amount of time, and dealing with her grieving younger sister doesn't help

Cave Story (you know, those parts when everyone dies) and the end of that one side story in Super Paper Mario that takes place in the afterlife.

I have to mention Final Fantasy VI (or you know III for some). Most of the game was a tear jerker to me.
Also the end of Persona 3 left me fulfilled, sad, lost, and tranquil all at the same time.

Gears Of War2. *SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT* My friend and I are bigg fans and he had the came when it came out, so I came over and played till you were finding Maria then terror arose: I HAD TO GO HOME!! Then a few days later his account got deleted (somehow) so we started again and finished. But anyway when we got to the Maria part again after weeks of suspense and avoiding temptation to google it we got there and the bastard skipped the cut-scene. So when I got it I finally saw Dom (who is my favourite character who I felt for whilst find Maria) find his wife and he ultimately put her out of her misery.

Let's see...

Persona 3- While the famous scene where Shinjiro died was great, I felt the story of Aigis trying to coap with the fact that she is a robot, yet she DOES have emotions, was deeply moving, and was one of about 50 scenes in the game that made me feel emotional torment, and the only to make me tear up.

Metal Gear Solid 3- The Boss's death was sad enough on its own, as was her monologue beforehand, and her backstory as a whole, and her character as a whole, but what made me blubber up like a mannaty was when EVA explained everything on the tape. While this is a cheap way to tell what really mattered, in my book, it worked surprisingly well this time around.

Final Fantasy IV- While later games did have better stories, I feel that Cecil's self-torment for being tricked into following an evil king's orders and, even worse, refusing to stop until he did it TWICE from cowardice and being afraid of losing his knighthood because he wouldn't follow orders, just worked for me.

Metal Gear Solid 4- Although I HATED the game as a whole, the ending was perfect enough to make me cry.

Silent Hill 2- The game's entirity was sad enough to make me feel like crying the whole way through, but a lot of choice scenes and themes really did it. One scene was James watching the video tape and realising, once and for all, that he killed his wife. This scene portrayed a man's lying to himself because he was so ashamed of what he did that he didn't even know that he did it, he just knew that it was his fault. Angela's backstory horrified me in a way few stories do-- not making me sad because of what happened or how I enterprited it, but because of how terrible I was for even enterpriting it that way, even though it was how it was meant to be enterprited. Eddie's story had sheer relatability. The meaning behind Pyramid Head as a whole made me just tear up, but not when I played, but when I thought about it for the next week.

Bioshhock- I don't consider the ending much in the way of emotion, though it did get to me. Really, seeing such a great place founded on a really AMAZING idea fall apart because of how perfect it was (and because the leader was a giant douche, but mainly from its perfection. And the leader's douchehood) made me stare at society with eyes with more water than than Pokemon's second gym leader.

1) The ending to Okami. Amaterasu's practically dead and it seems like Yami is going to win but then all the citizens of Nippon start praying thanks to Issun's help (who most people probably thought abandoned Amaterasu) and she regains her true power.
2) The ending to Professor Layton and the Lost Future. Holy crow, thats depressing but so sweet at the same time.
3) The ending to TWEWY might have made me watery-eyed the first time I played it. Where Neku has been through all this crap for three weeks and then wakes up in the Scramble and thinks he's gonna have to go through all that again.

The ending to The Sands of Time gave me a couple of tears. I really don't understand the direction they then took with Warrior Within: SoT was a pretty dark game already, and its ending is, in reality, pretty fucking miserable. An improvement upon what it seems it's going to be, but miserable nonetheless.

Also, whilst it didn't make me cry, there's the scene in Mafia 2. As in, the scene. Its really fucking messed up. And then there's the ending to the first game, and seeing it reenacted in the second is not a fun experience.

I've not yet balled my eyes out at a game as I have done with a couple of films, books and TV episodes though.

Not really, end of Star Fox 64 was fairly emotional.

Mass Effect 2 when
when Garrus was shot and bled on the floor
I thought he died and I actually screamed at my monitor and started sniffling. That was surprisingly very emotional. But not in the good motivational way I think this thread was asking for.
