Unreal Engine 3 was when games reached a significant milestone in terms of visuals. Not only that, it was one of the first engine to be made available commercially not just for AAA developers but hobbyists as well. It was a stroke of genius. Makes me wonder why id Software didn't do that in the first place.
Notable Games:

- BioShock: Infinite
- Batman Arkham Trilogy
- Dishonored
- Gears of War

What can be said about Unity that hasn't been said already? With its appropriate name, Unity really did unite all developers alike and proved a point that anyone can make games. However, that freedom came with a price thanks to asset flippers and con men who dared make broken games and sell them to us. Thank goodness the likes of Digital Homicide is no more.
