Not a popular choice but Doom 3 and its lighting for the time was incredible.

It's the stencil shadows that really made it stand out visually.

Unless you've got to play Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay first, which I was overally much more impressed with - not to mention it's much better game as well.
