Hey I didn't see a console only so I hope I can add this respectfully here:
2010 is visually impressive in another way as well. Nvidia and ATI and Sony are all bringing stereoscopic gaming combined with multi-monitor wide perspective gaming to enthusiasts everywhere.
So what does that mean? Visually games are getting deeper (3D perspective) and wider (Eyefinity or nFinity (nvidia solution). Its truely amazing PC technology and it truely is a landmark year for visual technologies and the use of powerful visual resources whether on console or PC.
Anyone who loves the kind of immersion technological and artistic excellences can bring will look back upon this year as a landmark, when things really turned up a notch. This being 2010 is an auspicious start to an excellent new decade!
Great thread, thank you Mr CGI.
