Corrupted Cartridge: "Video game endings are the bows placed on a perfectly gift-wrapped present. They either make us look forward to the next game in the series, or makes us happy that we played the game in the first place. A good ending can really strengthen the whole gaming experience, and sometimes even makes us cry. Here are my Top-10 Best Video Game Endings Of All Time."
What, no Bioshock Infinite? That ending had me reading about time travel/alternate universes and the entire plot for days. I loved it.
For impactful endings, one that stays with you long after the game is over:
Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons.
Im also tempted to suggest Journey.
Although, it is more dependent on making that umm...journey with someone else. The bond thats created with that other person upon completing the game is tangible.
