I've had a couple of games that looked really good but simply were not fun (Shadows of the Damned, Killzone 3). I'll likely never play SotD again and Killzone 3 was the first game I traded in to Gamestop in ages. Good graphics are not enough for me.
Now I admit that I only bought Gears 1 and Uncharted 1 to showcase the power of their respective consoles. After that, it turned out that both were good games. So yeah, I would still buy both if they didn't look as pretty.
Latley, I've been having a lot of fun with my Wii. Zelda TP, Starfox Adventures, and World of Goo, mostly. These games don't look bad but they aren't "jaw-droppers", either. They engrossed me more than a lot of technically impressive games, though. Like finding a mate, good looks will get you noticed. It's what's inside that counts.
