Game moments that made you put down the controller and say WOW

The KotOR plot twist, I honestly had to pause the game and reflect on that one, and how amazing the revelation was.
And the end sequence of Mass Effect
Great cutscenes, choice, consequence and kick ass credit music.

One of my personal favorites was the first collossus' death in SOTC. I went wow. But my all time from that game is the flying colossus over the water. When ikilled it. Watching it die down into the water i went. "Wow...IM A HORRIBLE PERSON!" Yes I cried. I know theres othes i've wowed to.

The most epic birdcrap ever. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLIAotZxOsc&feature=related]
Also, any Fable 2 FMVs involving The Spire. Some the best graphics I've seen in a game, and it makes me wonder why the graphics in the actual game itself were so terrible.
This isn't a moment but when I FINALLY beat TMNT IV: Turtles in Time for the Super Nintendo I quite literally dropped the controller and my jaw hit the floor. I had been playing that game for at LEAST 12 years and to just pick it up one day in my dorm and beat it by MYSELF in half an hour just boggled my mind.
The end of Act 3, parts of Act 4 and the final half of Act 5 in Metal Gear Solid 4.
The end of Mass Effect.
The end of Shadow of the Colossus, which I just finished yesterday.
A lot of the levels in Uncharted 2.

Definitely the first time intros of stuff in Fallout 3. Example:
first seeing the megaton gate open, first seeing a super mutant, rtc.
Most impressive would definitely be leaving the vault for the first time
though. The way they got that sun glare and every thing. Simply astounding.

The twist that's presented in Silent Hill 2 after James watches the video tape - I seriously couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Metal gear solid 3 *spoilers ahead*
Snake is being tortured, loses his eye gets shot in the leg (by the boss). Volgan decides he's done with Snake and Snake gets thrown in the prison cell. He uses a fork to pick out the bullet, which has a fake death pill in it. He takes the fake death pill, and when it's feeding time the guard who was going to feed him investigates. He swallows his tooth which contains the thing that negates the death pill and kills the guard with the fork. This alerts the whole base and he manages to escape by using their sewer tunnels and jumping out of it into the river below "fugitive" style. Then, half dead, he walks down the river while being haunted by the sorrow and seeing the ghosts of all the soldiers he's killed. At the end of this hallucination he "dies" and then wakes up in reality underwater at the end of the river where he left the illusion. I was in a pure state of "Holy Fuck."

Left 4 dead 2 + Versus + Idiots = Alot of wow moments. You'd be amazed how slowly some people can react, even without puke all over them.

QTEs suck!
I would say I had to stop playing Doom 3 a couple of times cause it was too tense for me. This was when I was about 17ish. A wow moment recently would be countless scenes from Uncharted 2. Working my way through Mass Effect and then hopefully Mass Effect 2.
