If this is running 585p or 576p, either way, it's not HD. HD is defined as 720p, 1080i, or 1080p. The game may output at 720p, but if it's not rendered at one of those three resolutions, it's not HD.

That said, it could still look fine.

So by your definition the PS3 version of GTAIV is NOT HD because the resolution is a bit lower than 720P (what was it 630P or 640P? I forgot) and the only 360 version of GTAIV is in HD because it is at 720P, even though the games look and play very similarly?

As NJ5 stated, nope, GTA 4 for the PS3 isn't rendered in HD.  It's outputted in HD, but in the same way you could argue Wii games are in HD as my TV automatically upscales everything to its fixed resolution of 1080p.

There are lots of games this generation for the PS3 and Xbox 360 that aren't HD.  Ninja Gaiden 2 looks very good and plays very smooth though.  In terms of action games, I'd compare it to God of War 2 for play style, although it's faster (Ninja-style) and it looks, of course, a world better.  But God of War 2 is still a sweet game.
