Things in a game that make you respond with 'That was Awesome!'.

[Misterian]

What sort of things did you see or do in a game that make think 'That was totally frigging awesome!'

It might seem petty, but 1 time in Fallout 3, I was doing some sneaking in that Springvale School, when I saw a Raider holding a frag grenade, he didn't notice (on the count I was still hidden but not using a Stealth Boy), I used VATS to aim at the grenade the Raider was holding with my hunting rifle, It hit the grenade, and it insta-killed him, with a Sneak-attack bonus too!

Also ME1, seeing Sovereign blown to bits, it was as epic a moment as can get.

And seeing all the combos in Solu Caliburs 2, and 4, seeing how well those fighters can dance will make you not want to mess with any of them, especially if you can just watch them fight, it's like watching a fireworks display.

Fallout 3, putting a live grenade in someones pocket.

Fallout 3, using the Experimental MIRV launcher...

Starcraft 2, using a nuke on someones mineral patch.

Starcraft 2, using the Nydus Network to get 20 Ultralisks into the back of an enemies base.

Fracture, when I looked back after getting to the end of a 10 minute battle and seeing the huge amount of terrain deformation.

that car ride with alyx at the beginning of half life 2: episode 1. you're just like "alright, we made it over here, let's get out of the-" CRASH! "WHAT THE-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" then you land and you're just like AWESOME.

also, crashing a motorcycle at full speed in GTAIV and watching you body go sailing in the air halfway across the city is just glorious to watch.

Killing a Super Mutant Behemoth with one shot in Fallout 3 was particularly awesome.

My friend and I were playing Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light today. We downloaded the trial and thought it was quite a bit of fun. Anyway, after buying the full game, I started playing as Totec and we had a bit of a mess around. I lifted my shield above my head so he could jump on top of it, and started running around, spinning in circles and the like while he was shooting. He started jumping up and down too and it just looked a bit silly. Eventually I started jumping too and we got an achievement called "Jump Jump" - the requirements of which is for Totec to jump, and then have Lara jump mid-jump (effectively having a double-jump, in a way!). Reading that over it isn't that funny, but we laughed because we didn't expect to get an achievement for behaving so stupidly.

Red Dead Redemption glitch...I rode a bear, it was the only glitch I had in that game...and it made my year.

Driving into oncoming traffic full speed on GTA4 on a scooter, because you go flying into the air.

Every fight in Yakuza 3

Crashing in the Mafia II demo, and having my car literally do cartwheels and backflips all the way down the road.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Every battle in Bayonetta and most Cutscenes in it. Makes me smile and laugh with the game! Why can't we have more games like it?

Or MGS4's bike sequence. Mix awesome music with Metal Gears attacking you. Hot damn it's awesome as hell!

Calumon: When Jack bought me a muffin! :3

All the Halo Wars cutscenes

The animations in DA:O when you kill an ogre or a dragon. It makes your balls bigger just looking at it.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Darksiders ending anyone?

 

[Reveras]

Any climax from HL2 series, I mean it: Speed boat area filled with machine guns shooting at you, the round Follow Freeman when u turn to the streets etc.
