So when was the last time a game really blew you away?

Persona 4 Golden, Valkyria Chronicles and/or Sakura Wars (the series in general, 5 to be specific).
Those games define my gaming experience over the last year, and shaped my taste in gaming. The only games that had an bigger impact on me were Mario & Luigi SuperStar Saga (the whole series really), Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door and the Fire Emblem series (Sacred Stones specifically). These are the games that blew me away since I started gaming in 2004.
