Best Graphics -- Gears of War 2
We'll forgive you if you find it hard to notice Gears of War 2's masterful visuals much of the time -- it's very easy to miss the forest for the trees when your back's against the wall and you're trying desperately to snatch whatever inches you can from unrelenting enemies. In many sequences, though, it's impossible not to take it all in. Gears of War 2 assaults you with the massive scale of its world, built from environments that are immense, imaginative, and ever-moving. In one sequence, you're scouring a city submerged in a sinkhole, as it collapses around you. In another, you're fighting atop a rolling assault derrick as the battle swells to an unbelievable scale. Gears 2 is full of moments like this. It's gaming's answer to the summer blockbuster.
