Depends on what you are talking specifically about.

In terms of being simply mind blowing in set pieces and action and such, Uncharted 2

In terms of being masterfully put together - Ocarina of Time

In terms of story - Metal Gear Solid 4

Either Resident Evil 4 or Shadow of the Colossus. Tough choice.

Considering the sheer amount of time I spent just riding my horse through the wilderness, I'd have to say it's Red Dead Redemption. Now, if I'm considering how emotionally involved I became with the game, I'd say it was probably Nier.

I'd have to say the game that opened the world of videogames for me when I was six years old. Doom. Been several games that has impressed me and that I consider epic and real gems but that game, Is the entire reason why I have Videogames as a hobby.

It's hard for me to pick one honestly and not sure if you mean gameplay or cinematic experience. So I'll just list the most impactful games at the time I played them. If I really had to pick based on story/world atmosphere/cinematics that managed to get a lot of emotional reaction out of me I'd go with the 2 in bold.

Shinobi Arcade

Sonic The Hedgehog 2D series

Donkey Kong Country 2D

Final Fantasy 7

Resident Evil

Mario 64

Goldeneye 64

Zelda 64

Half-Life PC

Sonic Adventure

Shenmue

Phantasy Star Online

Halo

KOTOR

Ninja Gaiden 360

Gears of War

Oblivion

Arma 2 never got to finish the game because it was damn long. Instead I cheated and unlocked all the missions:D

No mention of God of war? I thought that game is about killing gods (which would make it epic)

Dark Souls: You're basically a pissant nobody in the world with vague directions to ring a couple bells. However, there are plenty of gigantic monsters, trap-filled castles, poisonous swamps, etc. in your way. The only disappointing thing was how easy the last boss was and how quickly the game ushers you from the ending into New Game +.

Mass Effect 2: It's the best in the series in terms of making Shepard into someone you really believe has a shot at saving the galaxy, with an ending that is extremely satisfying if you did a thorough playthrough.

I'm just gonna say Majora's Mask then, because I think it's as close to perfection as possible for a game to be.

Runners up include Xenoblade Radiant Historia, Mario Galaxy games and others.

Goldeneye 007 even though it has aged quite terribly. Maybe they should release the online portion and let the single player rest in peace.

Single player: Homeworld 2.

You set out on a what seems like a straight forward mission to save your planet form conquest with a, at first, rag-tag fleet and eventually build it up to incredible military strength. Then all of a sudden the stakes are raised even further. Facing planetary annihilation you set out to find what was your culture's God. Then, after a long search, actually find it and harness its power as a weapon to save your planet.

Multiplayer: Battlefield 2142.

Nothing can beat the rush of a coordinated, all-out Titan assault.

That's a good question, but a very hard one for me to answer. I have played so many games with epic stories to them, I've lost count. If I sit back, look over my game collection, and think on it for awhile I may be able to come up with an answer.

Asura's Wrath definitely takes the cake when it comes to being over the top epic, even Bayonetta at its craziest looks extremely tame compared to it.

Fallout 3/New Vegas and the Bioshock series from this generation.

Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, and Heroes of Might and Magic III also.
