Claude and Rena from Star Ocean: The Second Story. Yuna and Tidus in FFX had something too, but I wanted to kill Tidus in every scene that he appeared in, so that detracted from it a fair bit.
As of right now, still Male Shepard and Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams.
Because they both meet incidentally and are forced into a situation of working together, grow to know each other and even like each other and while there is no denying that they both display flaws, they work past that and start to develop feelings for each other and eventually through the experiance they change their former worldview for the better.
Plus there was a natural chemistry throughout the whole thing which helped it to not feel cheesy.
Also, in Mass Effect 2 even though there was a lot less there was a certain degree of real emotion in the meeting on Horizon and the subsequent apologetic email likewise. Plus, the final scene in which Shepard gazed at her photograph had plenty of emotion.
Whatever, it was well written with human characters who had real flaws but likeable traits and overall it was good enough that I am eagerly awaiting Mass Effect 3 to see how it turns out.
Some may prefer Tali but for me I like strong women who stan up for their beliefs and of whom develop over the course of the story and work past their flaws... hence Ashley was the best in my opinon.
The Prince and Farah in The Sands of Time. They were both great characters with great voice actors, and watching them slowly grow on each other was great.
i was thinking jim raynor and sarah kerrigan all the way, but that wasn't too serious i guess... so i'll have to say shepard and liara. probably the only female character i've ever cared about.

I also really appreciate the Prince and Elika semi-romance. It was just perfectly done, besides, as Yahtzee mentioned, the ability to chose your objective made it confusing.
I know, it sometimes sucks being a Bioware fangirl. Each of those characters actually made me shudder when I realised they were the romance options (well, Carth wasn't too bad compared to the others, just a bit whiny.)
But if you're lucky they give you some heaps better options. Normally that's only in their newer games unfortunately...
I actually really liked this as well. Especially the ending. I don't think they could have more perfectly finished it. (Well, in the first POP anyway, I haven't played the others).

Off the top of my head:
FemShep and Garrus in Mass Effect 2. It's hilariously awkward, cute in a strange way, and actually emotional at the end, unlike every romance in the first game.
Seconded! I loved Garrus in the first game, then he became the ultimate badass and I loved him even more. And the fact that he's so confused about everything when he's normally the hero.
Also: Legion and Shepard. It may be one-sided, but you know it's there. Legion is just a cutey with an intense stalkerish crush
As much as I love the romances in Mass Effect(1 & 2) and Dragon Age they just can't beat the two in portal. Chell & Compainion cube and Chell & GLaDOS are two of the best romances I have seen in videogames.
