The last game would be Crysis 2, especially with DX11. Some of the scenes in the game are purely spectacular.

Another time I was flawed by a game was first playing Gears of War back in 2006. I was astounded by the technology pushing the game.

Honourable mention to GTA 4. No other game has created such a dense, organic, breathing world as Liberty City.

[QUOTE="killa4lyfe"][QUOTE="muscleserge"]The witcher 2, from start to finish, so pretty, so detailed, my jaw was on the floor all the time. Ran it maxxed except ubbersampling.

I am surprised you maxed with a GTX 460. :o

Not surprising at all.

There was only one game this entire genthat completely and utterly left me speachless with WOWness and that was Super Mario Galaxy 2. It quite simply blew my mind.

Bought the game on steam during the new year sale, and I have yet to play it, I maybe played it for about 1 hour. gotta give it a go. I heard all the Physx stuff makes the game quite stunning.

It seems like everyone is impressed by graphics in this thread. For me the last game that floored me was Mass Effect 2. The story was great and there were some really cool sections. Before that was Mass Effect. The Mario Galaxy series also had this effect on me.

Stronghold 3. From the articles I've read and the snippets of gameplay in the gameplaytrailer, this game is ought to be very, very good if Firefly does as they say they are doing. We shall see September 1st :D

Just from an organic, natural sense, I'd say Odin Sphere.

I've "wow'd" at SF4, BBCS2, WoW, etc; not at the games themselves, but at things that people managed to do within them.

Probably Bad Company 2. The fact that DICE was able to make an awesome Battlefield game work on consoles is amazing.

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?

Crysis 2. Some awesome moments in that game. Mass Effect 2 was incredible as well.

MGS4, the whole experience was just really well done.

And uncharted 2. Not like WOW!!! right when the game starts, but the way ND approached making it cinematic is really something commendable.

LA Noire for three reasons:

  1. Facial animation/tech.
  2. Size of the map.
  3. The amount of weird and funny bugs/glitches.

God of War 3 for visuals and scale.

Heavy Rain for pacing, voice acting and storytelling.

Dead or Alive Dimensions for 3DS has that effect. Also, De Blob 2 on the DS looks and plays pretty good, too. Quite impressive indeed.

Not sure if I ever said "wow" out loud but the last game to give me a "wow" moment was either I would say playing through Heavy Rain this past spring (just the game in general) and Final Fantasy IX in June on how good and enjoyable the game was, even to someone like me who had never experienced the final fantasies back in their hayday.

Uncharted 2 for sure, best PS3 game hands down.
