So here is the thread.

This thread is purely to see how many reviewers use the words "best console graphics", "best graphics this gen" or anything on those lines.

Guys if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm a man and I can take it. Currently God Of War 3 holds the crown. So when the embargo lifts, so does the embargo of all my flapping for the graphics of Alan Wake. ( What you dont think I can take a joke on myself? ).

Anyways, as I mentioned, this is not a review score thread, but a thread hunting for reviewers opinions. I think it will be pretty resounding that Alan Wake will have alot of graphical praise. Those that disagree, I guess we will find out in a week or so.

Currebt Number of reviews claiming Alan Wake Best graphics =

Videogamer.com

"Much has been made of Alan Wake's less-than HD resolution, but the bottom line is that it's a stunning looking title. No game released so far this generation features lighting effects more impressive, or so much going on. At times, with the wind blowing, smoke in the air, objects flying around, flares alight and enemies coming at you, there'd be an argument for this being one of the most visually striking games ever released. It's that impressive. During certain dramatic moments the game even pauses and pans around Alan, giving you a chance to take it all in."

it have to be "one of the best" of "THE best" for a score ?

If you could show me in a PM I would be grateful. I count 2 sort of's for GOW3. IGN and VG247.

So you're only counting quotes that refer to Alan Wake's graphics as "THE Best Console Ever" or "Best this Gen on Console" and not "One of the best" right?

selnor thats blatent wrong, not every reviewer will literally say "best console grafix ever".

I think lost planet 2 looks better than alan wake actually; I wonder how the 2 will compare (graphically according to reviews) when they are released (approx. one week apart).

just some random quotes from reviewers on gow3 below. again what i was saying, not all reviews literally use the wording best grafix ever, thats really upto the user to decide, if you play gow3 you will agree it looks better than uncharted 2

i dont think they do, god of war 3 is clearly the best looking game released on home consoles.

random quotes from god of war 3 reviews. re: visuals

1up: the visuals almost make it worth playing on their own

Gamervision : Saying that God of War III is an impressive looking game might be one of the grossest understatements of the year.

GameInformer : more impressive than Naughty Dog’s feats with Uncharted 2.

Videogamer : the most impressive visuals this console generation has seen.

Destructoid : Heaping praise on how God of War looks almost seems pointless; you can see for yourself that the power of PS3 hardware

Gamedaily :  : skilled programmers harnessed the PlayStation 3's advanced processing muscle to create the most awe-inspiring video game we've seen. Regardless of how you feel about the publisher, the system and even the franchise, one thing is clear: God of War III is phenomenal.

PsxExtreme : I will make this very blunt: God of War III is the biggest powerhouse to run on any console at the moment. It is easily the best looking game available today

Gaming Trend : The folks at Sony’s Santa Monica studios have taken the graphical bar and raised it so far that it’ll be hard for anyone to reach it.

Playstation Universe : The overall visuals are nearly perfect, and like we said about the lighting, some of the best we’ve seen in any videogame.

there are even more.

OT:

Eagle:PS3 fans,,,,,white cat: Selnor      :p

So if that statement isnt made then that reviewer wont be counted. Only reviewers that make it clear AW is top dog will be counted here.

Due to some forum users kindly showing GOW3 has beaten U2 in reviews I have changed the OP.

Thanks Sheuuk and CGI Quality.
