that ship in mass effect gets pwned pretty hard though
....True, but at least we won't have to worry about that as much in the sequel when hordes of those same ships come to the galaxy to do some laying of waste to all life ;)

honestly, I didn't know what ship you were talking about

it was either that ship, or the other giant ship that everyone's yoohooing over as your ship first pulls into the Citadel

Either way, pwned to hell

Oh- sorry about that.... I meant Sovereign (the fantastic Reaper ship that looks like the giant metal squid)- not that wimpy little Council ship at the Citadel that can't stand up to even a few scratches before imploding xP

The plot twist in Knights of the Old Republic that everybody who's played the game knows about. Definitely a high water mark in game storytelling that has yet to be exceeded.
The ironic thing about it is that whole scene is actually very poorly written, we were all just so caught up in the shock of the plot twist we didn't notice it...

The second time I played that game, I cringed at Carth's "NOOOOOO" scream :|

For me, it would have to be when I finally got all the Super Emeralds in Sonic 3 & Knuckles and beheld the god-like awesomeness that was Hyper Sonic.

I got a WHOAH moment when I played Doom on my parents pc and my father had installed a sound card (Sound Blaster 2 I believe, heh). Damn, I spent almost all the night shotgunning monsters.

Another -oldie- whoah moment was with Dune 2. The first RTS game (?) and what really astounded me was that the music would change when you were under attack. That was awesome! Same with Team Fortress 2: all the classes yell certain things that make sense ingame. Fun every single time. :)

The first time I played Ocarina of Time.
I just stood in the field watching night turn to day for about 3 in-game days.
