Mass effect 3 was just so beautiful. The gameplay graphics were amazing and the cutscene graphics...i thought it was watching a live action movie some times.
Last time you were impressed by graphics?

Can't really think of any. The closest would have to be Crysis 2, even on lower settings because my computer is stupid.
Though I was impressed by Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning simply because it was so huge, and didn't have bad textures, without getting over like 7 gb of space. And really good loading times. Seriously, that game had amazing loading times.

I haven't really been too stunned lately since once you know how graphics are done you become less impressionable and more nitpicky.
The most recent thing I was impressed with though was the use of God Rays (light shafts when object is blocking it) in Mass Effect 3 during one mission. The dying quarian with pixel perfect blood though...

The last time I was truly wowed by graphics was when the original gears of war came out for xbox360. I only had an original xbox and two of my friends had brand-spankin-new xbox360s with gears of war. I remember being blown away by the graphics (and the cover-based shooting as well). I think the apex of that game's graphical achievement was the "rainy industrial facility" mission. The lighting, water and sound effects of that mission just gelled nicely. There certainly have been great looking games since then but none have blown me away like that did.
Skyrim with mods.
The water looks so good it seems like I could reach into the screen and drink it.

Journey.
And they weren't even all that technically impressive. But what thatgamecompany did with the game overall, and the way they used camera angles and they used everything really to give a player a complete package makes the graphics of the game absolutely and completely mind blowing.

The first time was Donkey Kong country
after that it was Shenmue.
The i-net spoiled most of the fun in this console generation and gaming in general. Seeing awesome graphis/ art designs on your home tv for the first time enlightens the magic from time to time (Uncharted 2 / CoD4 / Killzone 2-3/ Flower / BF3 / God of war / Gears o W 1-2 / RDR...etc)

Soul Calibur (yes the first one) on the Dreamcast, no question.
The jump in graphic quality over everything else at the time was drool inducing. I haven't seen a jump like that since.
