- Gears of War: really, the first game to make me feel like I was in the next-generation. The single player campaign was very short and the multiplayer, IMO (no flames, please!), not very fun. But the Downpour level really wowed me.
- Bioshock: The character models were a little cartoony, but the environments in this game really impressed me.
- Dead Rising: My dream of finally living out George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead came true when I bought this one... and all those zombies on screen at once with no slowdown? Excuse me... :wipes tear:
- Oblivion: Corrected nearly everything that was wrong with Morrowind... they streamlined the series a little too much, but man what a great 100 hours that was. I've already started anew three or four times in this one.
- Civilization IV: Going to PC here, but whatever. I loved Civilization III, but Civ IV scaled back the micromanagement without losing the depth that the series is built upon.
- Call Of Duty 4: The online play is simply epic. I haven't had this much fun with online gaming since playing Doom deathmatches back in the Dark Ages.
- Doom: The game that made me beg my parents to buy a PC.
- GTA III: This game really expanded my horizons as to what was possible in games. I'd more or less stopped playing consoles until I played this at my cousin's house on Thanksgiving a few years back.
- Final Fantasy VII: Speaking of expanded horizons... the first game that made me feel something.
There's dozens, really, but I figure you meant this gen and I've tired myself out so I'm going to go take a nap. lol.
