Call of Duty 1 had a really cool video playing. There was one funny part where he runs up to a tank, drops a grenade in, slams the door shut, and runs away. Then you can hear people screaming in German and the tank explodes.
Also, don't make them a fucking hour long. I swear, Gears of War 2 had insanely long credits.
Possibly the best end credits I've ever seen were Prototype's. They were short, had a picture montage going of one half of the screen, the fast moving credits on the other, and something to listen to. It was news reports of the aftermath of the AMAZING final boss battle and actually kept me interested. Those were well made credits and I am so glad someone thought to put that.
EDIT: Shit, shit, shit! How could I forget Portal? Great credits.
EDIT 2: I haven't beaten Gears of War 1 yet, but from what I've heard I do
not want to hear Cole Train rapping...

OT: I like the ones that trick you, for example, adding a character that wasn't in the game. Then you're like 'OMG WHATZ!?' aaaaand new cutscene!
Example?
