Isn't Geometry wars 2 1080p and 60 fps?
You pretty much have to balance detailed graphics, resolution, and frame rate. A high res photo of an ugly girl doesn't make her any hotter.
You could make a sick pong game at 1080p and 60 fps. You could use a single color (like red) for the paddle and maybe make a 1 color blue ball, it would be sweet.
