On Gen 6: GTA III and Vice City. Those games wowed the hell out of me when I first saw them. I went to my cousin's house to see they had GTA III and I was mindblown by the level of freedom compared to other game I was playing a lot back then, Driver 2.
On Gen 7 there were a couple of things that surprised me. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was one. It was a massive leap over the previous games of the franchise and a good way to establish itself on the beginning of the generation. Another thing that wowed me was the MGS HD Collection. A collection, you ask? Yeah, but it had two games I really liked and one game I tried and still love to death to this day, MGS Peace Walker. It's amazing how far they go for remasters.
