Over at GameReactor, the chief editor who'm was madly impressed by the game said that The Witcher 2 is the "best looking game on the 360" beating Crysis 2 and Gears of War 3.

When asked if it tops the PS3's titles UC3, UC2, God of War 3 and Killzone 3: he said "No".

Still a fucking great accomplishement and mad props to the devs! It was awarded with a 9/10 on the site and the Meta is shaping up at 91 thus far.

Waiting for the enhanced PC version myself :3

hmmm Crysis 2 looks way better than Killzone 3, Uc2 or God of War 3 so these guys are biased its quite obviouss.

God of War 3 looks amazing in some parts and really mediocre in others, the titans parts are indeed some of the best graphics i´ve ever seen.

Witcher 2, Uncharted 3 and Gears of War 3 along with RdR are the best looking game in my opinion.

Quite funny to label them biased when I've been a member there since 08 and can tell you that they are VERY professional. GameReactor is scandanavias biggest gaming mag.

Here's the article they wrote on the best looking games just after Crysis 2 released. They claimed Gears 3 is better than Crysis 2 but still behind the Top 4 PS3: And now the same for The Witcher 2 which would make THEIR list something like:
1. UC3
2. UC2
3. Killzone 3
4. God of War 3
5. The Witcher 2
6. Gears of War 3
7. Crysis 2
8. Crysis
9. Killzone 2

In general: UC, KZ and GoW all have engines optimized for the PS3 so it really isn't all that "omfg" now is it? Imagine if Microsoft got one of their devs to actually work on an engine instead of re-using the same ones eg. UE3 for the Gears games and Cryengine being on all 3 platforms (PC, PS3, 360). Its not rocket science that an engine optimized for one console --if done properly-- will have an advantage.

But yeah, you can claim they're biased sure.
