You "the PS3/360 wasn't really all that good" guys are hilarious.

I mean, I get it. Those $15 TV joysticks started the funeral, and the $5 XBL/PSN legal game downloads were the final coffin nail in the MAME cabinet hobby. (Hell, even the emulators play and look better on the 360/PS3 than any comparably priced PC)
All the built in media playback functionality meant we weren't having to mod everyone's Xbox anymore. Native HD support. Games more immersive and polished than ever before to the point it makes playing old generation console games almost painful.
PC gaming would be dead if the consoles hadn't more or less unified the port process this generation, now it's firmly back in the hands of the middle aged neckbeards just like your glory days in the 80s. Rejoice!

Anyway, more seriously, I've give the nod to these recent games off the top of my head:
Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
Uncharted 2
Portal 1 (though 2 did eventually grow on me)
Far Cry 3
Stuff I thought extremely overrated:
Bioshock - all of them. Yes, we get it, you've got a boner for Atlas Shrugged. Meh.
Dishonored - critics couldn't make this one happen no matter how hard they tried. Think it was, what, $15 6 weeks after release?
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - booooooring
