Three games come to mind. Shadow of The Collosus, Because each time I killed one of those beautiful beast a little piece of me died, and even though it was a work of fiction I think the idea of destroying something so wondrous scarred me deeply. I never actually wept, but a few times, as I watched them fall, my vision blurred as a shed a tear.
Devil May Cry 3, when Dante defeated Vergil. I actually have a twin brother, one that I am jealous of for many reasons. Seeing Vergil driven to a point of hatred for his sibling and being struck down for it was nothing short of tragic in my eyes. Seeing myself mirrored in such a way was shocking and heart braking. Not to mention Dante is a personal hero of mine, and seeing the silent agony he was in hurt me a little too. In any case the scene itself resonated deeply with me.
Finally Devil May Cry 4. When Nero confronts Sanctus, who asks why he is not worthy of Sparda's power. Nero's response was that "Sparda had a heart that could love a human being, and that is what you lack!". I'm not sure why I shed tears for that line, it was not sad, just powerful.
I never actually cried, but I shed tears, because something about these sights struck close to home.

Yeah, that's pretty much the only one that comes to mind for me. Although, it wasn't exactly her death scene that teared me up, it was the epilogue when you find out everything she actually did KNOWING she had to die. Then he salutes her grave...sadness.Amberella said:It's been awhile for me.
But the last time I cried in a game was the end of MGS3. The Boss.(
Actually MGS4 almost pulled on my heartstrings a couple times, but then ruined it before I could really get sad enough.
"What? Raiden actually died?! And in a non-pathetic way?! That's actually quite---oh wait, nevermind."
"Awww, Naomi left a goodbye message for Otacon...how sad..........(10 minutes later)...why is she still talking?"

OT: Valkyria Chronicles & Lost Odyssey are the two most poignant games that come to mind. However, I feel as though I'm more likely to cry at games (good or bad), because I tend to get attached to the characters. (From my experience, the characters which have bad things happen to them. ¬_¬)
There was one that I got a little wet eyed at. It was in Lost Odyssey. There are some great short storeys in the game and Some of the moments in the Game was good and moving.
Metal Gear Solid 4 did it for me. I can't remember why, it was a long time ago. It's been a long time since I've even picked up a PS3 controller, let alone played the beggar.
The ending cinematic of the Orc campaign in Warcraft 3.
Though it was more like a single manly tear than actual crying.

Several of those mentioned get to me, the end of ME1 when everyone think's Shepherd is dead. One obscure one is a small bit in Legend of Zelda a Link to the past. You meet someone in the Dark World I think it is, who has partially changed to a tree. He asks you to find his flute and when you do, he says to find an old man in the village and play for him one last time before he essentially dies. Gave me sniffles as a child.
