-The end of Portal when you are finally outside and you hear birds chirping.
-When you are in Xen in the first Half-life. It was so creative.
-Whenever you found a new part of Hyrule in Ocarina of time, like Lake Hylia, Gerudo desert, etc.
-I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of at the moment.

thought of another one. getting a plane in just cause,flying really high,and looking at landscape. it was a horrible game,but graphic-wise,it was great.
First, I'd like to second a few things that people have already mentioned:
Restoring a Guardian Sapling in Okami. Watching the entire area just flood with life is truly a gorgeous sight to behold.
The final blow against a difficult boss in pretty much any game ever. Seeing that sucker FINALLY go down after trying again and again and again to beat him, her, it, or them...ahhhh.
Pretty much the entire world of Shadow of the Colossus. One of my favorite things to do in that game is find a nice, high clifftop with a stunning view of the surrounding panorama...spend a good few minutes taking it in...and then jump off.
And now, some stuff that hasn't been mentioned yet:
The dragon ride after escaping from the Draracle's Museum in Lands of Lore II: Guardians of Destiny.
The cutscene in Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen where Kain beheads Moebius. Especially if you've played the other games in the series and know what a tremendous bastard Moebius is. I literally cheered...and then reloaded from a save just to watch it a few more times.
Similarly, the cutscene in Legacy of Kain: Defiance where Moebius gets skewered by Kain...and then again immediately afterwards in the Spectral Realm by Raziel. And then AGAIN when Raziel reanimates his corpse! HAH. TAKE THAT.
Also, I love swimming in World of Warcraft, especially in areas close to the shore where you can see all the underwater scenery--plant life, sunken debris, fish, etc. It's so peaceful. The very first time I played, I started off as a Draenei Warrior, and I swam around the entire perimeter of Azuremyst Isle just enjoying the sights.

agreed, i thought it was immenseEagle Est1986 said:
also, having a fire spell on oblivion that does 85 damage over a 15 foot radius
then walking into a shop and setting it off
also the level on oblivion where you're in the dark brotherhood in that mansion killing them, i like using the arrow and making them fly off the balconies
also, MGS2 + 3 when you cap someone in the head and beautifully paint the surrounding area red as a result of it gushing out
finally, warcraft 3 (NOT WORLD OF TOSSING WARCRAFT) but warcraft 3, battle.net custom, and any TD featuring splash damage. It was awesome
Freelancer was packed to the rafters with eyecandy, but my favorite had to be in one of the Edge worlds (Tau or Omega something, I think) where you find a Neutron Star. That whole area was really pretty.
Also, the last level of Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.

yeah I loved going through that map and exploring all the worlds it listed, the music really was great.KaiRai said:
Also, I should add Rome:Total War, the moment when a war elephant rips through a crowd of soldiers, trampling people underfoot and its trunk sending men flying through the air...
I thought of a couple:
Command and Conquer 3; usually I build about 20-30 Annihilator Tripods and just walk them through the enemy base with aggression switched on. It looks so impressive and just appeals to the nerdy 'life beyond the stars' kid inside me.
Oblivion. As it's been mention before, stepping out of that deep, dark sewer into the light with the trees and rocks and river is just breath-taking. It was the first game I got on my 360, and it was my first 'next-gen' experience.

At the end of Warcraft III: Frozen Throne, when Arthas puts on the Lich King helmet, then sits down atop his icy throne and the camera zooms back to give a great view over the barren landscape. Just knowing that you've helped Arthas to become this all-powerful being is an awesome feeling. It's just too bad they're going to ruin it all in WoW by actually having you fight Arthas in the next expansive. He's invincible, I say!
As someone mentioned earlier, whenever you restore a guardian sapling in Okami. Actually, just about every single moment of Okami is beautiful.
This one might seem a bit odd/disturbed, but I found Silent Hill 2 to be beautiful. There are houses, restaurants, stores, cars, garbage cans, everything that would be in a normal city, but there's absolutely no one there, just the fog and the static. Creates an amazing atmosphere of loneliness.

Dynasty warriors 5 empires, me and my men getting slaughtered by 3 LT's and a general(maxed out on chaos mode.) Then Sun ce and Ma chao Come and Save my sorry Butt.
If nothing else The final quest and the ending of the final quest in Oblivion,That was just Epic.

Ya know I was replaying GoW2 and I forgot how grotesque and disgusting Clotho (third sister) was. So grotesque it's beautiful.
