Probably Last Guardian for me. Trico is an amazing looking creature.

That Mass Effect screen is pretty sick, too. And sexy!

heavy rain and alan wake

Crysis 2 will be the best one i think.

Crysis 2, RAGE, Doom 4
FFXIII? LMAO! It has horrible in game graphics.

To me it's a draw between Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy XIII, but that's more because for genre preference :P

Overall I would have to say Crysis 2 and Heavy Rain.

Great list. I think GT5 should atleast be mentioned though.

For me it's Heavy rain and Crysis 2 then followed by GOW3 and conviction. I also think MGS rising shudn't be there I havn't seen any gameplay of it at all and Alan Wake well....so little gameplay of it so far that I have seen and just IMO they don't look stunning but my opinion could change in the future after I see more of it.

The Last Guardian for style and FF XIII just because of how detailed it is for a JRPG.

I would say GT5 too, and that's bs that it's easy to get great graphics out of a driving game. GT5 is the ONLY stunning looking driving game, so i don't see where you are coming from at all. Driving games have complex physics engines, opponent AI, and damage to simulate. That all takes up as much processing power as the developer chooses to use and it is a balance between how good they want the game to look and how realistic they want it too be. So a game like GT5 that has both fantastic physics and graphics definitely deserves praise for it.

Crysis 2 will obviously be the game with the highest poly count, texture count, etc. But artistically i am not really seeing anything special at all.

They all look good to me.
