I really like your #1, I would have chosen the same, that scene brought tears to my eyes. Also, snake crawling through the microwave where everything seemed to be falling apart in mgs4 deserved to be on there too!

@ d21,,

in order to make you hottly anticipate shadow of the colossus,,,

The intro in itself is one of the best ever, the hero carrying his dead loved one on his horse while the Best intro music ever (with FFVIII off course) is playing! thats a fantastic way to begin an epic adventure!

And once you finish the game , it's music will forever stay with you,,, i still play the music in mind, especially the intro!

I didn't get to enjoy that part much because I was mashing buttons on my controller so hard, praying to God for it to be over because my hands couldn't stand the torture anymore. Luckily, I got it on the first try because a second try would have been impossible.

when lord saddler killed luis sera in re4 ...i was like WTF!!!! did not expect that to happen....and the scene with tidus and jecht....almost cried on that one.

the final part of shadow of the colossus, from the moment you search the final colossus, to the very end...poor little wanderer...felt so bad for him

Took longer than I'd hoped, but I finally bought Lost Odyssey today. Still no Shadow of the Colossus yet, though. Soon........

(shameless necro-bump.  Please forgive me!)

Picking my top ten would be too hard so I'm just going to pick one from a game I've recently played and know it would be on my top ten. And that game is

Tales of Vesperia: Yuri and Flynn's conversation at Mantaic

Flynn: So you intend to dirty your hands?
Yuri: Intend to, I already have

Such a powerful moment

MGS4 last scene. Where Snake is finally free

The KOTOR ending was deserving of praise.

I'd change the FFX to the "I love you." scene. Haha weird how its opposite.

6. Final Fantasy 6 (SNES). The gate to the Esper world is open!

7. Final Fantasy 7 (PS1). The spirits of the planet, Lifestream, gather together around the wound of the planet centered in Midgar where Meteor is poised to destroy the World, and save it!

8. Ninja Gaiden (NES) A secret duel at midnight! and then...Ryu Hayabusa will get his revenge!

9. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3). Liquid Ocelot takes control of the system in the river. Behold! Guns of the Patriots!
