I find it amusing that no one has listed Crysis.


I find it amusing you haven't read the OP which clearly states that this is for console only games.


No.  I saw it and was pointing out the biggest flaw of this thread.

It would be like me saying to list the best picture quality on a DVD since Blu Rays wouldn't be allowed according to my rules. 

No its not.  When are people gonna realize that PC and consoles aren't in the same generation first of all so they aren't comparable.  PC is one neverending generation that constantly recieving upgrades something the consoles do not.  To assume that PS3 and 360 hardware are comparable to top end PC's is just silly and everyone knows they aren't.  Do you see anyone listing handheld games?  And then people coming in and dissing them saying, "OH teh PS3z power makes those Pokemon gamez look like crap.  Where's Killzone?".  No you don't see people saying that because the argument is pointless and they are different types of hardware in seperate generations.  The exact same is true with PC vs home console.

Place Title  Points
1st Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Simply a beautiful game. Wonderfully crafted and always a delight to watch. Even the combat is like watching a well choreographed dance.)
 10
2nd Okami (I love watching this game unfold on my T.V. screen. The ink style graphics are simple yet elegant. There were times where I would just run around Nippon just for the sake of taking everything in.)
 9
3rd Bioshock (One of the most atmospheric games I've ever played. 2K did a wonderful job of creating a underwater utopia gone horribly wrong, and I loved every second of exploring Rapture.)
 8
4th Kirby's Epic Yarn (This game is shamelessly adorable. Everything about the graphics of this game exude cuteness. I couldn't help but fall in love with this yarn world while playing the game.)
 7
5th Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (This game really has it all when it comes to graphical diversity. Pan's forest is just gorgeous, and while I found those few early levels to be the graphical highlight of the game, the rest of Gabriel Belmont's world was still stunning to explore.)
 6
6th Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (Listen, Iga has it down when it comes to making a beautiful game, and Order of Ecclesia is his best yet. The locations are as diverse as I've ever seen in an Iga-vania, and that lends to some beautifully crafted sprite graphic worlds.)
 5
7th Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Despite Wii's hardware limitations, there have been some beautiful games on the system. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of those beautiful games. Everything just looks fantastic, and with so many levels that are incredibly diverse both in gameplay and design, the team made some beautiful worlds for Mario to play in!)
 4
8th Batman: Arkham Asylum (Rocksteady got a lot of things right with this game, one of them being bringing Batman's crazed world to life. Arkham Asylum is a wonderfully detailed game that puts you right into the madhouse. Fantastic atmosphere!) 3
9th Cave Story (Man, I have to say that I just fell in love with this game's looks. Incredibly Retro but incredibly detailed as well. The game's style just exudes nostalgia while still being fresh. Love it!)
 2
10th Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (While not as diverse as Order of Ecclesia, this game still managed to pull out all the stops in creating a beautiful world as you traveled into the depths of Dracula's Castle.)

Fine, but what's the point? 

My point is that PC games have BY FAR the most raw power. 

Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I prefer the art style of Okami and No More Heroes to most of the games listed by you guys because of their art style.  Heck, I could argue that Alladin on the Genesis is more visually appealing to me than God of War. 

Define good graphics.

GT5 in top 10 graphics??

Photo mode=amaizing 10/10

Premium cars, premium tracks, weather effects = beutifull 9/10

standard cars, standard tracks = PS2  HD 5/10 

Shadows, 2d bitmap models aroud the tracks, invizible walls = psOne HD 2/10

Regardless, it is the best looking racing game (when it is at best) and thats by far. It's also horrible at worst :D, but I personally don't play with standard cars nor have I witnessed too many lousy tracks soooo... for me its 90% positive in the graphics departement.

Your right, but either way you are being a party pooper. I could go into any thread and say 

"What's the point?"
