Mario Galaxy... The music score and graphics were fantastic, and a huge step in mario. Made my eyes fall out. I picked them up off the floor and went... wow.

Mario Galaxy 2 was better in terms of gameplay I think, but Galaxy 1 blew my face off first.

Xcom: Enemy unknown
Batman: AA
Battlefield: Bad Company
Metroid: Trilogy
Tales of Vesperia (Simply because I hadn't played a tales game since Symphonia and pulling of a mystic arte after a 124 hit combo to kill a boss felt so badass I had to jump up and yell SUCK IT *****)

Bioshock is the only game that I can think of that really "wow'd" me this generation. It was nowhere even on my radar (for some odd reason) and I picked it up later for 20 bucks. I would've gladly paid full price for that game and I don't say that often.

Other games that I loved from this gen are:
Uncharted 1 and 2 (3 felt meh to me)
Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
Arkham Asylum and City
Black Ops 1 (it had that fun factor that I can't quite find in any other CoD, probably cause of the Olympia)

I'm sure there's more that I can't remember right now.

If you played Oblivion in March 2006, your jaw would have hit the floor.
