As in games that made you really sad and maybe even want to cry - possibly leading to tears.

Here's my list, in order of their ability to manipulate me:

  • The Walking Dead
  • To the Moon
  • Mother 3
  • Bioshock 2 (not 1) (Some support, in case you heard the ridiculous claim that Bioshock 1 has a better story.)
  • ICO
  • Chrono Trigger (Maybe. Can't remember how effective it was, really.)
  • Mirror's Edge

No spoilers, please!

A very spoilery article from John Walker on Rock, Paper, Shotgun about games that made him cry. He adds To the Moon to his list in another article. I haven't played the games he talks about.

Limbo. Those unnecessarily violent deaths. ;(

And Super Meat Boy and Cloudberry Kingdom, but only because of the levels... Haven't played CK, only watched the trailer, that made me want to cry.

oh, and the ending to Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. :(

The ending(s) or rather the non-ending(s) of DE:HR made me emotional...

would it not depend on what choices in the game if the ending is emotional or not in Deus Ex?

me too, youre not alone

and instead of posting again: walking dead, legend of zelda twilight princess, GTA IV (in some scenes), Homefront, Mafia 2 i guess (i cant remember it in detail), Max Payne 2 and many more. I can feel emotions fast when i like a game and identify with the characters. Even Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 touched me.

A little bit, yeah. No actual running tears, but the end credit song lyrics managed to trigger some watery eyes.

I loved GLaDOS in Portal 1, but in 2 the guys at Valve outdid themselves.

Definitely this. On my first play through, the ending I got was so horrible, it made me depressed for a few days. It had to have been the worst possible ending

My 2nd time playing through Baldurs Gate 2, I decided the replace Jahira, because I was running with a party that really didn't need a druid. I'd played through BG1 twice and BG2 once with her all the way through and, man, I really cried when she lashed out at me, all hurt and confused that I was abandoning her.
