Great, great choices. Shadow of the Colossus somehow claws at my heart like no other game (except Braid), and that pool scene is the defining moment in FFX.

1.5 - no mention of the darkness?
i thought the TV watching scene with your GF was pretty heart tugging, she cuddles up to you in first person and you just lay with her.

Shadow of the Collossus does indeed deserve its spot, but why no LSL: Magna Cum Laude?

5 - No mention of Final Fantasy VIII are you serious?
The pool was a good moment, but Squall jumping into space to save Rinoa completely crushed any romantic scene in any video-game ever. The game had so many romantic moments its pathetic that it never gets mentioned.

Agreed, that and Squall was far less annoying than Tidus.

yeah. I was surprised that FF VIII wasn't represented.

If im honest.. The dialogue on that scene in FVIII was extremely corney. In fact most of the Squall/Rinoa scenes were full of cornyness.

The Gamestop that's close to me had a used Ico. The game is very hard to find new. I bought mine a couple years back on Blockbuster by luck and they had it new. Great game man, tbh I can't really tell which one is better than the other. If you live in Europe, that version is better than the US one since I believe that it has a new weapon and co-op. (I'm talking about Ico)

I believe that the European version was re-released not to long ago so it'll be easier for you European folks.

What about the sex scenes in God of War 1 and 2?

Speaking of sex scenes, Mass Effect almost made the list. But not for that scene (which was the cheesiest part of the romance plot, imo).

Haha, good one. But there is actually some romance even in God of War. I thought the last cutscene of GoW 2 with Kratos and Athena was quite romantic. She was the one God he did not want to harm, and the only person he still had some affection for.

I think KOTOR deserves to be on this list. The love story between Revan and Bastila was believable and Bastila's redemption at the end coupled with Revan's refusal to kill her and his confession of his love was some great storytelling.
