Where is Mass Effect 2?
Splinter Cell Conviction?
Alan Wake?
Heavy Rain?

All these titles look better than your list IMO. Also we havent seen any Reach stuff apart from fuzzy 'leaked' shots. When it releases it will probably be one of if not the best engine around. 60+ enemies with better than Halo 3 graphics? Yes please.

Reach looks good, but given Bungie have never yet built an engine that was the best engine of the time I wouldn't take it as such a given.

Depends on criteria anyway, Alan Wake should be able to have amazing environments, etc. due to lack on on-screen activity (so far as I can see) and potentially the same could be said for Heavy Rain.

I do agree the whole post is a little strange, as I just don't see how you can compare games which are out with screenshots and custom made videos.  Until I see Alan Wake or Reach or GT5 or anything in action and check out its graphics I just can't make a sensible comparison.

Well Halo 1 was the best engine when it released on consoles. And Halo 2 was not topped for engine by another console game. (Remeber graphics + amount of onscreen action + Advanced AI + Coop )

Halo 3 is the most underated engine this gen. Not only does it have huge draw distance, but 60 + units onscreen from big scarabs to small foot soldiers. All the while being still the only game this gen on consoles to have 2 frame buffers. 1 for High range HDR and 1 for low range. Also it did all this with 4 player split screen coop.

Now I imagine Reach's new engine with all this to. Gonna be impressive in the thick of a fight.
