That should be enough, also regarding the Red marker also.

Definatly this, that was one of the few plot twists that have ever left me stunned in a game.Zhukov said:
While not exactly a plot twist, this also left me speechless. <spoiler=Mass Effect>When the mission on Virmire went tits up and you had to choose which team member to rescue leaving the other to die.
I think one of the better plot twists I've seen in a video game would probably be in Metal Gear Solid 2. If you've beat the game, you'll know what I'm talking about. Freaking AIs, man.
I also liked the fairly obvious plot twist in Might and Magic: Messiah on the 360.
Ooh, ooh, and the big reveal in Operation Winback for the PS2! That was great.
Also in Shadow of Memories (Destiny in the USA) where you have to assemble all of the different endings to piece together the true one, and the MASSIVE plot twist it creates.
This is a weird one, but

In Tony Hawk's Underground, remember how that douchebag kid from your home town set himself up as the performer of all your sweetest moves, getting himself onto the pro skate team and completely screwing you over? Damn that one was great! excellent motivation for getting blistered fingers trying to top his score at the end.
Probably all the rage and raw anger in Ryan's "A master chooses, a slave obeys" speech.RubyT said:
For me, it would be the following:
That Harry Mason was really dead, and his daughter was the one who really needed help. (And speaking as a bit of an admitted "Daddy's Girl", that hit me pretty hard...)
It turns out that Kessler was really Cole from the future trying to make him tough enough to face the danger still to come...
Not only is Alex Mercer the guy who caused the outbreak to begin with, but he's dead, and you've been playing as the freaking now-sentient virus itself the whole time!
I'll second Jade Empire. Also Dishonored - not so much for the twist itself, but for the way it's introduced.
I was caught off guard by the fuzzy flashes after drinking the poison... Thought it was some sort of Outsider-related element... Then, boom - poisoned.
Here are some of my personal faves:
I know it's been mentioned a bunch of times already, but it really was a surprise. I predicted that Atlas wasn't all that he was cracked up to be and was probably leading you on the whole time, so I was expecting him to just be a masterful liar. But I was not expecting Jack to be a sleeper agent built specifically to take down his father...and Andrew Ryan knew all along.
It's a classic. It was the first time we really got to see Zelda be badass in a game. Course now it's not so much a twist as EVERYONE knows about Sheik.
Adachi was the LAST guy I would have thought about being the murderer. He's so damn nice and naive, and then suddenly BAM! An evil mastermind!

I should of see it coming as I did wonder why my character is able to used the force since they did mention that force user are usually first found as a child, not an adult.
1. Bioshock
2. Planescape
3. Silent Hill 2
I'll even give a slight nod to Anders...activities...in DA2, I can legitimately say I did not see that coming.
Jade Empire for some reason was telegraphed a mile away, for me.
I don't know if some of the things that happen in To The Moon qualify as plot twists so much as reveals, but I just like talking about To The Moon.

You know, I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed.
...that nobody has mentioned Final Fantasy VII yet. I'm talking about the lifestream sequence, and what really happened in Nibelheim on that day, five years ago. No twist has blown me away like that since.
Bioshock is a distant second. Many horror games have pretty good twists, but they get a little predictable once you play enough of them.

Going for a classic, and something that is probably easy to under-appreciate nowadays.
Baldur's Gate 1.

After all the foreshadowing and hinting, which I was probably too dumb to catch, finally everything came to a head and I had the confirmation that I was the son of Bhall... My brains painted the wall
Okami
After defeating Orochi for the first time maybe 15-20 hours in, I was very happy with the characters, story, art, and gameplay, but I was also disappointed with how short the game was. I really wanted a lot more of this world. And then I found out with the rest of the celebrating village that there are greater evils in Nippon...Hurrah! 60+ hours instead!
FFX
Also Shadow of the colossus
Not so much the deal with Tidus, but the fact that Auron was dead and was an unsent, which explains why he didn't go up to the farplane when everyone else did
Also Shadow of the colossus
when lord Eamon showed up, i thought i was meant to be the good guy!
I dont know how to use spoiler tags, so I'll be vague.
The good:
Bioshock's would you kindly revelation
Mass Effect 3's Leviathan DLC Revelation
Arkham City's ending revelation in the theatre
The bad:
When you realized Halo 2 wasn't the finale
When you find out you got magical shouting powers in Condemned 2
