Favourite Moments

What are some of your favourite moments in games? I know there are a ton out there, so this should make for some great discussion. I'm sure there will be spoilers in here, so if anyone wants to talk about something very specific (especially if recent) then please use spoiler tags. If it's a 10 year old game or something, I think the statute of limitations is long up, but at least try to be mindful.

Here are a few of my favourite moments that immediately pop into my head...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Throwback Galaxy

There had been a lot of talk about a really awesome "retro" galaxy level in SMG2 before release and I was super excited. I had no clue exactly what it would entail, but when I hit the ground and that music started playing I nearly lost my sh*t. Absolutely one of the most incredible moments I've ever had playing a game and it legit almost brought a tear to my eye. The nostalgia was palpable.

Saint's Row The Third - Power

So, yeah. Best use of a licensed song in the history of games? Holy sh*t! Saint's Row is all jokes, but god damn if this scene isn't legitimately bad ass. I got goosebumps during this mission.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Final Battle

This one is pretty close to tops in my book. I think the final Ganondorf vs Link fight in Twilight Princess may actually be better by a hair, but the final blow in Wind Waker is such an awesome image. You also can't beat the fact that you're dueling Ganondorf as Hyrule Castle is buried by the sea. Absolutely amazing.

Knights of the Old Republic - The Darth Revan Reveal
