Really disappointed with alot of the things I've seen in the thread, people seem to have a "oh shiny, must be good" mentality anyways here are the games that awwed me
Mirror's Edge, fast paced, think on your feet or die, tons of fun, tons of re-playability
Lair, gets alot of flak for bad controls but the controls aren't bad they are just hard, anyways what wowed me about it was the massive battles, nothing quite like a few thousands AIs on the screen battling it out, and it's pretty much the only game where I find the AI to be just the right intelligence, they are helpful but they don't do everything for you, and the stealth level was really fun
Shinning Force, Amazed me how much better such an old rpg was then current ones
Phantasy Star online, so ahead of it's time, and such a good game
