Yeah, I haven't been wowed in a "how is this even a video game" way in years, but I am still regularly wowed in a "how is this running on this hardware" way. I've been revisiting my 360 a lot this past year, and it still astounds me that games as beautiful as Halo 4 and Gears 3 can run on hardware from 2005.
Also, while it may not be the prettiest game on the system, it still impresses me that Treyarch got Modern Warfare 3 running on the Wii while keeping the gameplay almost completely intact.

I am surprised so many think Gears was great, graphically, to me it is just another Unreal Engine 3 game. Haha |
I think the reason for that is that Gears set the standard for UE3 games that followed. Compared to other games available in 2006 however, it was in a class of its own, the first game that really looked a generation ahead of the best looking games on the original Xbox and Gamecube.

DKC blew the entire gaming scene away back in 1994, its prerendered graphics looked so ridiculously far ahead of anything else out there, it was like if Crysis came out in the PS2 era.
