Half-Life 2 didn't really impress me graphically, but its physics engine amazed me and kept me playing HL2 Deathmatch for years to come.

Super Mario 64.

Sure, a lot of games have impressed me this generation, but when I first played SM64 at Wal-Mart back in '96 I was rendered speechless.

I'm surprised at the amount of people saying Oblivion. The game was always a bit on the ugly side, especially the ground which was obnoxiously low-resolution and blurry 30 feet away.

It was the first game to give you a line of sight that far. And literally no PC could play it at full settings when it came out. At the time no other game could hold a candle to it graphically. Also one of the first games to support multiple cores.

Uh, you're a little off bud. My mid-range PC played it with high settings EASILY the day of its release. A high-end PC would have teared it to complete shreds. It's also not the first game with a long view distance.

For me it is easily Rogue Leader, the death star level just blew me away and made me realise that star wars could at last be done justice in gaming, that made me a proper gamer and I have never looked back. It is also the only game that has ever made me say wow on sight.

Top card was like the 7800 and so kill me now if you could actually be able to play it on that over 11fps with everything turned on/up (grass shadows, sliders, HDR).

In this order:

All are high profile PC shooters.

FFVIII CGI was amazing, to bad the game itself was crap.

SotC was probably the best looking PS2 game but Okami and DQVIII are the ones that will never age.

I still think the Sonic games on the Genesis look great but I don't think they're impressive.

For this generation, Uncharted still impresses me more than any other game. As for last gen it was mostly Splinter Cell 3, God of War 1/2 and SotC.

Resident Evil 4 for the Gamecube was really impressive when I first popped the disc into the console, the opening scene and the first area was just flat out gorgeous to day the least. What was even better were the game physics which was flawlessly executed with precision, another to point out was how lifelike the bosses look even though they are obviously fictional.

i think Uncharted on the ps3 still has the best graphics on the system, or any system for that matter well besides UT3 i guess, until heavy rain & inFamous releases, Uncharted is the Graphic king on PS3

ZoE2, Half Life 2, SotC off the top of my head. At the moment, the only game that truly sets itself apart from others graphically is Killzone 2. It's just looks soooooo good.

Not to mention the shores of the lake around the Imperial City looked as though they were bombarded by artillery and the ground textures looked like a tile floor
