If I hadn't beaten Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 so long ago, they'd apply. They both amazed me, but I beat SMG within a month of launch and MP3 with 100% less than two weeks after its release.
I've beaten several games recently including: Eternal Sonata (fun battle system, didn't amaze me), Blue Dragon (class RPG gameplay, didn't amaze me), The World Ends With You (intriguingly different, slightly overrated, didn't amaze me), KOTOR on the PC (it's old but very fun, didn't amaze me but was very good considering its age), and Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Greasy Edge of a Far Too Long Name Episode the First of a Long-Winded Quartet (extremely fun, very impressive, but still didn't amaze)
Finally:
Two weeks ago I beat Mass Effect after picking it up simply because of recommendations and the fact that I picked it up for $40 (Lost Odyssey would have cost me $60). I didn't really think anything of it previously and didn't buy my 360 with it in mind, so I just sort of started it without any real expectations. It blew me away. That game has stunning story telling, an amazingly well defined world, fun game play, an excellent leveling system, a great dialog system, brilliant voice acting, dazzling visuals, wonderful art direction, and (at least for a paragon, I need to replay it as a renegade) one of the best endings I could imagine for the first part of a trilogy. Mass Effect is now one of my favorite games, Mass Effect 2 and 3 are now among my most anticipated games and the series is now my favorite franchise on the 360.
Yes, it did amaze me.
