Seriously, I've had tears streaming down my cheeks many times on some intense high score runs. Think the same happened a few times with wipeout hd as well.
The only game that comes to mind is the ending of Half Life 2 Episode 2. [Spoiler Alert] The end scene at the helicopter and the death of Eli really shocked me. I probably did in FFVII as well but I cant remember a specific part. There was a lot of sad parts in there. I remember actually yelling at a game (Modern Warfare 2) when Shepard betrays Ghost and Roach, But no tears there.

The end of Zelda: Windwaker and Zelda: Twilight Princess made me heavy hearted.
I didn't actually feel sad at any point, but in Half Life 2 I felt really invested in what was going on. I was rooting for the characters and I got really shocked and concerned when a few of them got hurt.
I cried in tears of joy for a long while at the end of Flower. It was just so overwhelmingly beautiful... I also cried near the beginning of Final Fantasy VII during the cutscene that occurs when you return to Aeris' mother's house after she is kidnapped. Oh, I also cried during pretty much every Phoenix Wright game, as well as at the end of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. Finally, I bawled like a baby from the events leading up to and including the "Heaven" dungeon in Persona 4.
Games are most definitely an art if they can evoke such powerful emotions.
