So here is the thread.

This thread is purely to see how many reviewers use the words "best console graphics", "best graphics this gen" or anything on those lines.

Guys if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm a man and I can take it. Currently God Of War 3 holds the crown. So when the embargo lifts, so does the embargo of all my flapping for the graphics of Alan Wake. ( What you dont think I can take a joke on myself? ).

Anyways, as I mentioned, this is not a review score thread, but a thread hunting for reviewers opinions. I think it will be pretty resounding that Alan Wake will have alot of graphical praise. Those that disagree, I guess we will find out in a week or so.

 

Currebt Number of reviews claiming Alan Wake Best graphics =

1

"Much has been made of Alan Wake's less-than HD resolution, but the bottom line is that it's a stunning looking title. No game released so far this generation features lighting effects more impressive, or so much going on. *At times, with the wind blowing, smoke in the air, objects flying around, flares alight and enemies coming at you, there'd be an argument for this being one of the most visually striking games ever released. It's that impressive. During certain dramatic moments the game even pauses and pans around Alan, giving you a chance to take it all in."

*Very tenuous. The reviewer is saying an argument can be made, not definitive best graphics. This review does not claim best graphics, but best lighting. I can understand why you would want to use it but for me the current number of reviews still stand at 0.

I read that too and I was like wtf? Where does it claim it owns everything else. Seems the 90+ Meta is pretty much not gonna happen. 78-85 seems more likely :|. For me the number is still 0.
