Killzone is way ahead of Gears from a tech point. What makes Gears look very competitive is the art style. The very high res textures, with bloom, and overly agressive neon lights is an effect that has been used for a long time. Most people are atracted to it, so it is a good way to make atractive visuals with less power. Killzone 2 has a more natural art style. That is what causes everything to have less pop.

I perfer Killzone over Gears by a little bit, but I can see how a lot of people get suckered in by the lights in Gears. I myself would rather take a screen shot of Gears 2 for my background than a Killzone 2 pic.

So what it all comes down to is what people actually mean when they say graphics are better. I have always thought of better graphics as thouse that are more impressive on a technical front. Perhapps some people think of better graphics on a personal preferance bases. I don't know the official defenition for judging better graphics is. With that said everybody is right on the personal preferance, but from a technical standpoint Killzone 2 is the better graphical game.
