Gun game? CS? If yes, then I have it somewhere in the middle too. It is very exciting going for the first win, but it goes away after you win a couple, amazing time nonetheless.
 
Oh, trying out my boy's augmented reality cards on 3DS was a wow moment when first seen.
 
10. Beating Pokemon Blue by getting Mew, M, and over level 100 Pokemon, catching uncatchables, and beating the Elite Four only once.
9. Won 24 Hour Nurburgring.
I'll continue later. I have to go through over 15 years of gaming.

This is a very cool thread,as for the best gaming moments,and as my profile implies there are just all ace combat moments(from AC1 to AC6,hopefully ACAH) That's why I encourage people to play these games,specially the PS2 versions,putting that aside:

10. Modern warfare 2, "On Their Own Accord"from the briefing to the bit when you get extracted by UH-60,its very dramatic(I'm not American,could not care less about Americans but that bit is just simple damn good)(Ramirez gets a lot of love in you tube)

9. The trip through the citadel on HL2

8. The final mission of the original medal of honor(stop the V2)

7. Beating COD4's All ghilled up in veteran

6. The ending of Resident evil 3 nemesis,this is a fun one for me because the ending is that you have to defeat a monster before a countdown gets to zero,I managed to kill the monster at exactly the same moment when the timer reached zero,so cinematic,and fail for me,I had to kill the monster,then escape,so that expectation for the cinematic is something that I will never forget.

5. Silent hill 1,when the nurse stays on the hospital room to die

4. Gran Turismo 4,When I completed the Nurburgring 24h I,finally could get the F1 to bet the minolta.

3. MGS3,specially the bit when Snake has to fight with the boss,quite an epic moment.

2. Brother is arms-Road to hill 30,when baker squad have to hold the hill 30 against a German counter-attack,to be more precise,the bit in which one of your team mates(Legget)touch total despair and starts to shot a tank with a pistol,then the tank fire a round against him,and then he drops dead at your side(Brother in arms is a tactical WWII FPS,almost like simulation,you should check that one out)

1. (apart from AC moments)Brothers in arms,Earned in blood-to be precise the moment in which Doyle(partner) and you meet a tank,then the tank blow Doyle in 1000 pieces,it was the saddest moment that I ever e(in the game the character is develop as a close friend,you end up getting a lot of appreciation towards him)

I have the misfortune of missed Shadow of the Colosus and ICO,so They might get more props than ace combat.

So you (allegedly) won an argument with an 11/12yo?

Congratulations.

Congratulations.
Why not... The kid was not only running his lippy attitude to all the members in the room, he also had false beliefs of something that was not true... Hell i'd say the exact same thing if he was my kid... (im 16 btw) and shutting up a kid that no longer has nothing else to say that also leaves the room on his own behalf is more than rewarding...
