i see no reason for it to be wrong. i nearly cried at the end of level 17 in portal... but, then again, i have a tendancy to grow attached to things 
1. Not yet. I've started to "become" my character more easily, so I expect this to happen to me soon.
I almost cried at the ending of a game, but my family was in the room. I have this weird thing about getting immersed in a game or any other story around other people; I can't enjoy the story without getting embarrassed.
ANYway.
2. Yes, it's okay to cry when something moves you, be it a game or a book or even just a really deep thought.

I bet the audience were the same brain dead fucktards who cried at the Sex & The City Movie and had the happiest time of their lives during a sing-a-long screening of Mama Mia. Ergo, fuck 'em.
As for crying for a game. Only in frustration.

1: I shed a tear or two when I was about 8 (give or take) while playing Legend of Dragoon on the PS1, it was when one of the main characters got killed... that's all I remember about it.
2: No more or less the crying over any other form of media.

Yes- Portal was so funny i actually cried and end of half life ep 2 almost got me not really for what it was just the NPC'S reaction to it (notice how i had no spoilers thier)

1) yes

I have cried over games for different reasons. Although never over the story line. I cried over wanting a game badly. I cried over losing a game. I cried over winning a game once, but that was perfectly fine because it was IMPOSSIBLE! imagine playing mario frustration like they want you to, double the length of the level, and beating it.
And i think it's perfectly fine for a person to cry over games, just not the story line. If you cried over aeris's death in FFVII, see a doctor, you might have lost your balls.
Note: girls can cry all they want so the past statements were not for them.

1) Yes, but I always cry over the wrong bits, like when a cat goes missing or something. Sometimes I get so emotionally involved with the character, seeing them cry sets me off too.
2)It's perfectly fine. It's better to cry at a sad game rather than be an emotionless freak.

I cried during this:

It's a beautiful game, despite its context.

Actually, no, I've never cried in response to a video game. That said, I'd be lying if I didn't say that video games haven't instilled various emotions in me, like fear, anger, hatred, relief, and even sadness. These, in my eyes, are completely normal, since the aim of the video game is to 'pull your heart-strings', so to speak.
As for people (what, even girls play video games) crying towards video games... I don't really care, since it doesn't affect me. I have no reservations towards it, because, like I said, a well-made video game story will tug here and there.
Oh, and this 'Tyra Banks' seems like a real *****... maybe I should laugh when she cries when viewing something that affects her emotionally?

I almost cried at the end of MGS3. They would have been tears of patriotism. I defy any Tyra-watching women to play the entirety of MGS3 and NOT cry at the end.
I also almost cried at a certain point in Chrono Trigger. You know... that one.

1. Twice. The first was the ending to Kingdom Hearts, and the second was the ending to Okami.
2. I think it's okay if the crying over the game is because of something emotional within it, not because you're 6 years old in a Walmart and trying to get your mom to buy you GTA4.

I teared up a couple times, and the best example would be to the end of Jade Empire. I had this whole connection to every one of my companions (some more than other obviously) and when it was all over and I realised that, I was sad and happy at the same time.
I liked the way it ended, plus the music to it all was absolutely amazing.
I was also quite shocked at the cutscene in Gears 2 with Dom and Maria. I mean you have this all-testosteron game and they still managed to put such an emotional scene in there. It was a bit hard to sympathize after that because of the way Dom looks of course, but I did find myself putting my hand over my mouth in shock during the cutscene.
Of course it's not bad to cry during a video game, any form of entertainment that has emotion in it can get an emotional response.

1) I cried a little at the end of Gabriel Knigt: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned. The ending is just sooooooo sad if you've following the series up to that point, and the setup is so emotional it's almost impossible not to be moved even a little.
2) I think it's perfectly fine. As long as the story and presentation are right, there isn't any reason why a game can't affect you the same way a movie or a book does.

No, I was raised by a very classic British stiff upper lip family and I've never cried at a game/film or song. but a few books have got me feeling like I'm welling up.
(goes into royal marine style attitude mode)
1) NO.
2) Certainly not and you should not be proud of yourself sunshine!
(back to normal) yeah it's fine too if you can cry at a film then they're no reason why you can't cry during a video game if the narrative is that good.
