If by cry you mean getting your ass handed to you by a buch of 8 year olds on XBOX Live because you were having a bad day that day then yes it is possible.

The funny thing is, I personally don't know anyone who liked No More Heroes. The only people that I've heard say they like it are critics and people on forums.jthm said:
Everyone I know personally that's played it (and that includes every wii owner I know-as I tried finding someone who wanted it after swiftly growing tired of it) hated it as much as I do. I did have one friend who didn't hate it but still thought it was pretty boring.
I couldn't give that game away, so I sold it on ebay- for twice the amount in cash that gamestop offered me in credit.
Of course games can make a person cry. It's not all that rare, but it seems to me it's usually during cutscenes. Usually when people get weepy it's because of something happening with the story after the controls have been taken away. I'd be interested to see a common tearjerker where you're playing when it hits (closest I'd guess would be Portal).
I can't remembered if I cried at the end of twilight princess, but my heart was broken all the same.
During the end of FF8, when Lagoona was able to finally give that girl the wedding ring. I cried like a baby. Not ashamed either.
Oh, I am an admitted crybaby... I cried during the WoR Rachel scene in FFVI, again at the end of FFX, again during the opening of KH2, I cried at the Anju/Kafei subplot in LoZ:MM, and I even felt a twinge or two in Super Paper Mario, even though that was my least favorite game in the Paper Mario sub-franchise.
Only time I ever cried over a video game was Secret of Mana. The Soundtrack brought me to tears when you are leaving your village, I was pretty young.
I almost cried at the end of my second runthrough of Twilight Princess. It didn't really have anything to do with the actual end scene. What happened was I had become so immersed into the world of Hyrule that I had secretly wanted the game to never end, so I wouldn't have to part company with the characters and setting. I don't think I've ever been so enveloped into a fictional world like that before.
