I'm talking about games that have really taken your breath away, for one reason or another.
For me, I think the winners would be Uncharted 2 and Just Cause 2. Both of them because of their environments.
In Uncharted 2, places like the train and the ice cave really blew me away. With the train, I'm astounded by all the technology behind it, because even though I'm no expert, I can still tell that a lot of work has gone into making this work, and I have never seen a train section in a game like it before. And the ice cave is truly beautiful and it is atmospheric as hell.
In Just Cause 2, the view distance is staggering, which makes for some fantastic moments when you explore all the game has to offer. And the weather can be absolutely amazing. Viewing a sunrise from up high in that game is incredibly beautiful, and the same for when you're in a thunder storm. Those times make me wish I was there in person, just to experience it.
What about you?
