This. I completely agree, although I'd add MGS4 & Killzone 3 and probably Heavy Rain & Red Dead Redemption (haven't finished either yet) as other sucky games with great graphics. I don't like the mentioned games because they're extremely boring and forgettable. I really don't like the Uncharted games at all, they're obviously well-made but they're just spectacle over substance.
As for great games with great graphics, God of War III is easily the best game this generation, it's the only game I've played where you could feel the love and passion the developers put into it and the results are a game that looks, sounds and plays practically perfectly. It's the highest rated, most beloved and best selling hack 'n slash game of all time for a reason. Gears of War blew me away in 2006, I was stunned by the graphics and the gameplay was amazing, GeoW2 was awesome too as was the slightly disappointing GeoW3 (my expectations were way too high). Bioshock was stunning in 2007 and its sequel was great too. Mass Effect games have always had nice graphics and they're amazing games. Nothing has truly impressed me at all since God of War III, even God of War: Ascension isn't exciting me as much as it should but it's probably because I need to see more of it, also I couldn't care less for The last of Us because that just looks like a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested, overly scripted version of Uncharted. What happened to Naughty Dog? They used to be so creative now they make the most generic games. The game I'm most intrigued by is Watch Dogs, which looks like it could be a brilliant game.
