Heh yeah I too find myself amazed like every 3 months. The whole thing (gaming) is just moving so fast. Of the things not already mentioned though:
*Deus Ex1 & 2 - These games made me realise that gaming would some day end up being beautifully non-linear. I can't pick out one single moment in the (first) game that stands out, because it all does! It's like everywhere you go and every choice you make really influences the story, and around every corner lurks a new conspiracy or sub-plot. I'd never played anything "rpg"-based before, but I though it felt more like an inventory system, with biomods as an added bonus. Also the stories were nicely incoorporated in the gameplay. Overall a very enjoyable experience, and it left me wanting more.
