The cutscene in the first Command and Conquer game where Kane blows Seth away with *BOOM* headshot! I remember I literally choked on my gum! Saw it again on youtube and it's still as cool!
Oh man! I was like 10 when that happened. It was totally unexpected and awesome :D

Unreal Torny 3, hoverboarding between striders legs and shit, epic stuff.

[EDIT] One of the missiosn in Far Cry 2 where you must assassinate a guy near a meth lab or something. But it was like the scene from Bad Boys 2 where they drive through the shanty town in Jeeps & hummers. I jumped in an armoured jeep and seen ramp leading up onto the dock where they kept all the men and (Red) Barrels aswell as other explosive stuff. Driving along the dock/shanty town, splattering people infront of me, people jumping out the way, explosions behind me, wood splinters flying everywhere and bulletholes progressivly blocking my view by smashing the windshield... jaw dropped.

In oblivion. I stole a goblin tribes totem pole and then dropped it in the middle of the Imperial City. I was treated to the sight of a goblin army fighting a guard army to get their totem back.

The nuke scene in Call Of Duty 4 not just seeing it happen but playing as a character as they died.
This. I was like "He's not going to die...he is?" Off topic, Your avatar rocks.

My own one would have to be

When your dog dies. And when you have to give in to that master guy or lose SHIT LOADS of experience.

Sure, It wasn't mega powerful or anything, But it managed to get a reaction out'a me!

In Fable 2 were...
You're dog gets shot to death by that sonova- you get the point

Or in the ending for SH2, I had to pick my jaw up from the floor after that.

"DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT!"
Oh jeez, I remember that! I confess I died first time I did that mission, right off the gate less than ten seconds in and I'm just a smear on some massive battleships armor.

When the Colossus went down is another moment in that game that sticks in my mind.

Ending of HL2: Episode 2.

If I'd of been let down from the wall I'd of torn those pricks up with the f*cking crowbar. Couldn't believe it.

And the ending of Mafia was a real surprise, as well as bringing the game to a proper and well thought out conclusion. And when Tommy proved Sam wrong, I got all tingly.

Persona 3, the first time the protagonist use his evoker. I was thinking "Wait is he aiming a gun at his hea...omg he fired! Wtf is that demon thing?!" Also I'm surprised no ones mentioned Psycho Mantis from the first Metal Gear Solid yet.

2 moments from Bioshock:
-when you go to Fleet Hall in Fort Frolic and see Fitzpatrick playing the piano. So beautiful, so dream-like

-the sequence in Fort Frolic where you have to fight the splicers with "The Nutcracker" playing in the back and you hear Sander Cohen's voice from the radio.

and actually quite the whole of Bioshock. i just couldn't stop playing that game once I fired it up.

Also others:
-Painkiller, the last level (Hell). It was simply staggering
-oh, and any time you use the Triple Haste tarot card in Painkiller and start blowing the crap outta baddies. It never loses its charm
-when I first time saw my cousin go underwater in Crysis. I was like "Wow"
-and quite many plot twists from Chrono Trigger which I won't spoil now

That was all. For now at least

The ending of Braid was one of the more moving things I've seen in a video game. The first time through I found myself just amazed by where that story takes you.

Oh, and as for jaw-dropping scenes for all the wrong reasons:

Metal Gear Solid: the fistfight with liquid atop Metal Gear Rex
MGS2: realizing I had to fight all 25 Rays
Fable 2, when the game killed the boss FOR ME (different reason for jawdrop obviously)
When I first played Kingdom Hearts and arrived in Hollow Bastion.

Shadow of the Colossus. 'nuff said

Obvious KoTOR plot twist is obvious.

Another than that, Assassin's Creed 's viewpoints were stunning in their own way. Also the opening cutscene for the first level of Mirror's Edge (excluding the training level) is similarly stunning.

Definitely the part in The Darkness where ...

... Jenny gets brutally shot in the head by Paulie in front of your eyes.

My mouth literally fell open when that happened.

I'd have to say my favourites recently were:

In KOTOR, when you find out you're really Revan

and

In Mass Effect, the last battle against Saren, as you try to talk him out of working for Sovereign and he ends up blowing his own brains out
