What is the last game to truly make you go WOW thats amazing, it can be due to graphics or gameplay or sheer joy.

for me it was in 2008 with metal gear solid 4, there were numerous holyy ---- moments. but since then no game truly took my breath away. how about you guys?

Duke Nukem Forever. "WOW! This game **** sucks." On a more positive note, probably GTA 4.

Last game that I've played to make me say "wow"? GTA 4

The latest game released that really elicited a "wow" response from me was Mass Effect 2 last year. That Suicide Mission was insane! :D

Mass Effect 2 at the Shadow Broker's ship. The was the best level in both Mass Effect and one of the best in any games I have ever played.

Shogun 2 for sure. Crysis 2 after DX11 patch, but Shogun 2 looked nice off the bat.

Just off the top of my head, playing Crysis for the first time, Uncharted 2, and certain moments in Crysis 2.

I'd give that to super paper mario, the first playthrough for me was an absolute joy, i had never had that much fun playing a single player game.

Dark Sector

Mainly in the "WOW you actually payed money for this thing!?:?" catagory. I honestly don't understand why my cousin likes this game so much.:?

It's a good thing that the SP isn't the what the game is praised for then.

Dead Space 2. The part where you meet and fight the Tormentor. I can't think of any other piece of a game with that level of insanity in gameplay or any scene from an action movie as intense.

In recent memory, there was infamous 2 for its awe-inspiringlyepic evil ending, it was so sad. Also for MGS4's incredibly long and epic ending, I'm a newcomer to that series but even I appreciated the way that they beautifully tied up all the loose ends and perfectly ended Snake's saga.

Heavy Rain

I really really liked the game. Sadly, Heavy Rain is not as good on a second play through.

Hmm... just (finally) got to play Limbo (mainly because I do not have a 360 at the moment and bought it on PSN an hour or two ago).... WOW. So atmospheric and deep in a minimalistic way. And it has that early black and white -cinema kind of feel to it, like when you boot it up or go to the pause menu.

Deadly Premonition, even though it's very ugly in terms of graphics, and very cheesy, I absolutely love it, it's quite an enjoyable game, and only $20 when I got it (though I only started playing it now)... and I have to say I am liking it way more than I liked LA Noire.

Mass Effect 1 (The Virmire part really gave me the chills in a good way. Epic scene, epic gunfights, amazing music, and a sad but still awesome choice)

Mass Effect 2 (Beat the game 6 times, the first 2 playthroughs definetely floored me)

Uncharted 2 (Obvious reasons)

Whats so surprising about that? it ran 35-45fps too. mt res is 1680x1050. its also pretty heavily OCed, about 33%, so it has 33%+ better performance than a stock GTX460. (more or less)
