The wow factor when finishing a game!

[daftnoize]

Just finished okami and WOW feel so happy and totally overwhelmed. Although I love geometry wars super meat boy and megeman etc. i haven't felt this amazing after finsihing/playing through a game in a while. Which games made you feel this great and why? I would love to hear your comments. These are the games that truely make this medium a beautiful art form. Please share

I have this suspicious feeling that my Dead Space 2 Hardcore run will give me this feeling. I haven't had it in a while, but it will certainly be awesome.

The end of Mass Effect 2. Oh my fucking god it was epic the first time through.

Red Dead Redemption. Then again the "Wow" was more because I felt I had been punched in the chest more than enthusiasm, but in a good way.

The end of Mass Effect 1. You couldn't have pried the controller from my hands with a crowbar. I remember cheering when I made it onto the ship one second before it took off!

While I did feel an overwhelming sense of both aw and terror at the end of ME2, I feel that Mass Effect 1 offered a more emotionally explosive ending. From Saren blasting his brains out to the (admittedly cliched) Shepard rising from the rubble my heart was pounding the whole time. Once the credits started rolling (and the awesome M4 Pt.2 started playing) I just laid back in my chair and stared at the screen with my mouth gaping. I couldn't believe how amazing the game was... the next day I started a new file.

Still haven't gotten round to either of the mass effects, never actually played a cover based combat game in my life! Am i missing out?
