Too right. A couple of words comes to my mind when I see that ending.John Funk said:
Death will come.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Seriously, the entire last bit of that game was freaking amazing. From the crazy twist near the end to the tragic story turn to the pivotal climax of the story, and following to the revelation that the entire game, with the narrations, had been the prince telling his story, then the final boss and the bittersweet ending that still gives me chills to this day... wow. That game was incredible.
Halo 2. I knew exactly what was going on and everything was wrapped up nicely, number 3 felt so forced as Halo 2 ended the series so brilliantly.
I felt Morrowind's was pretty cool -
Just kidding.

You defeat the bad guy, get tons of riches and everyone adores you. Plus my character was free to take a vacation.
Mass Effect 1 for me (I have yet to play 2, lack of funds and time 
). I left it feeling very satisfied at what I'd done and the choices I'd made along the way to get there. But at the same time I knew I still had alot more work to do, and damn if I'm not going to do it the moment exams are over!

Portal didn't come to mind immediately, but after it being mentioned it does occur to me as a pretty good ending for a game. Moreso because I didn't expect much from Portal and ended up very satisfied.
Mass Effect 1 had a great ending too, even though the last boss fight dragged on. It was a very climatic, cinematic experience, something 2 lacked until the last level IMO.
Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne was an amazing ending. At first a awe-inspiring moment, but has more depth the more you think about it. Shame the game left more unsolved mysteries than it solved, but the actually ending itself was great.
Got me thinking too, much later. Perhaps Arthas isn't bound for an evil glory, maybe he's just achieved the power he saught, but is left alone on his throne with no one to follow him because of all the evil he's done to get there. Probably not the way it's intended to be interpretted, and pretty much invalid after WoW's continuance, but I'm happier with my version.
To add one not mentioned yet, I adored the ending to The Darkness. Took me a moment to get the full effect of it, but to me it was a deceptively clever and emotional ending that is just rare in a game.
So yes, take your pick!
