Biggest WOW! factor

no seriously! Just downloaded it on the xbox360 arcade thingy and it instantly brought back memories of the hours spent playing what was my favourite game as a kid.
more recently I have to say test drive unlimited purely because of the environment.
Farcry made me drool a little too when it was first released, very pretty scenery.

half-life on the pc
Wot he said, only HL2.
I think it would be Half life over Hl2.
A game that bowled a generation over (namedly mine) at 13 was Golden Eye, many a childhood sleep over was played on that thing, I have embedded in my mind running through silo et al trying to get the quickest time possible or playing four player in archives!
I think if you can re-run, every map/level with postions of enemies in a game (vitally important if you were to be super quick) at the age of 22 when the last time you played it was a good 7 years ago, i think your either sad (like me) or was in love with a game that started the change for fps on consoles forever.....
Gran Turismo on the PS. I'd seen the preview screenshots in Edge, and thought it looked good, but I had an N64, 4 controllers, 4 rumble packs, and a shitload of cartridges, so didn't want to change for another console. On the day it came out, I played it at my mates house. It was when drove an AE86 around Autumn Ring, as I recall. I just new, the 64 was gone. The next morning I boxed up the 64, took it down EB. Got £300 on trade, which immediately became a PS, 2 controllers, GT, Tekken, Wipeout and GTA. The missus was pissed, 'cos she was halfway through Yoshi's Island. GT was the PS killer app.

DOOM !
I first saw it on a PC in Dixons in the early 90's.
All the ganes Id seen previously were 2D platform stuff and a few crappy flight sims on my Anstrad 1640.

Same here, I think I first played the demo on a PC in early 1994. Think it came out the year before but I didn't have a Pc then, I had an Amiga, but then I think I had a similar reaction with Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix on that in 1992.
about £60 at the time if I remember 
Can't say there is a single game but some of the highlights were:
Turrican II on the Amiga, loved the music. Also Xenon 2 Megablast had great music too
Flashback on the Amiga, where the main character had realistic movement.
Doom on my PC, 486DX33 with 4MB RAM.
Need for Speed on the 3DO, first 3D racing game I played with texture mapping and realistic handling well for 1994 anyway. Plus I loved the Real cars on a road rather than a track, Even now I wish someone would make a racing game with a section rather than a circuit.
Wipeout on PS, for the music, 3D graphics, sense of speed.
GT and GT3 on PS and PS2, Jaw dropping graphics, amazing art and handling.
The original Unreal on my PC with SLI Voodoo2s. One of the best soundtracks EVER in a game and stunning graphics, with a nice wide range of locations.
and finally FEAR is pretty damn impressive on a high end PC
