Uncharted 3 FTW... ND have done wonders in U2 and also KZ3 will have a hard time with 3D support and all, Crysis 2 is multi, screwing up exclusive development perks, and everything else is simply lacking compared to it (IMO)... along with some of it, again, being multi.

I think Uncharted 3 will take the title with KZ3 and GeoW3 following. Rage runs with 60fps so it can't win. Haven't seen enough of Brink. Have seen  gameplay footage of bulletstorm and while it was nice looking it wasn't anything amazing. Resistance 3 also looked pretty good but it's hard to say based in one trailer that will it be in the same league as U3, KZ3 and GeoW3 as Resistance 2 was pretty fugly.  Also Crysis 2 hasn't impressed me as far as consoles go.

IMO Crysis 1 is still the best looking game ever, thus, when the dust settles I think Crysis 2 will hold the crown for next year.

I think this is a better picture that really shows off how Rage looks, although I do have to smoosh it down to make it fit.

Mass Effect 3 now we know their trailer was in engine.

Uncharted 3! best sand and water effects on a console game so far imo

2nd place will be KZ3, I think this will edge out GeoW with their Jungle and Outer Space levels. We will see soon enough. and no the color choices are good, in the arctic, it's white...in a nuclear wasteland? you won't see rainbows there. Colors are chosen properly depending on the location....can't wait for the Alien Jungle :D

and also CGI, I think inFamous should be mentioned too...I honestly think it's the best looking game of it's genre

It's all subjective really. I think it's to close to call,but I do like uncharted's vibrant colors. 

You're rules do not state that and if you changed them on whim, it would make it look like you are trying to arbitrarily change them to suit ulterior motives.

It's moot anyway, the sniper section was gameplay.

*Edit, oh I see you've just edited the original topic. If gameplay is paramount, I would appreciate it if you respect all the other games listed by only using the all important "gameplay graphics" I have a gameplay picture of Uncharted 3 for you to replace it with

I didn't mention Crysis 1 to involve PCs in this discussion. I mentioned it to point out that Crytek historically have pushed the envelope as far as graphics technology goes so I am of the opinion that this will continue with their latest game. I will admit though that they have to prove that they can lead the way on console.

Very old image of Rage  (PC) way before it was announced for consoles back in like 2006.

It actually looks pretty dated now enlarged to its full resolution. Sky still looks epic.
