I think the game that had the most emotional impact on me was most likely Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The big reveal is was did it. Also the little things like being able to kill NPC party members at certain points in the plot.
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, was a genuinely creepy game to me, especially the first mission you go on in the abandoned hotel. I think I just sat at my computer for about 5 minutes after that calming down.
Not that there was great story in F.E.A.R., but that was also another creepy game simply for the environmental factor.
I greatly dislike when people say that games cannot be a viable medium. I believe it's still an incredibly unexplored medium. Books, movies, theater, etc. have been a around a long time, and gaming is, relatively speaking, a recent addition.
