I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it.
Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system.
Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

The best Graphics for me on console is Final Fantasy XIII.

gears 2 was never king

on a technical level, or a visual level, then again visuals are subjective.. some prefer super mario galaxy's visuals over Killzone's visuals because of the art style.

MGS4 IMO but UC2 for the color

i reckon final fantasy 13 cutscenes are the best looking graphics ive seen there almost real

Hmmm ok so a MGS4 vs Gears 2 graphics argument eh?

Because there are so many damn sites and critics out there, I'll just take the example of IGN here.

MGS4
US - Graphics score: 10
UK - Graphics score: 10
AU - Graphics score: 10

Gears 2
US - Graphics score: 9.5
UK - Graphics score: 10
AU - Graphics score: 9.5

Hmmm ok so there's a minor difference in scores but as you can see MGS4 has better rating. Oh so if you think MGS4 doesn't have better graphics than Gear 2 then omg we must be all blind and stupidly biased.

Oh and guess who won OVERALL BEST GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGY both picked by the Critics and Readers Choice back in 2008?

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

"To say that there was a lot of hype for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots would be an understatement. Since the game's announcement, PlayStation 3 owners had been touting the title's stealth-action gameplay as a surefire game of the year component and Konami was promising to tie up every one of the series' multiple loose ends. Still, what undoubtedly impressed fans when they first booted up the game in June was how damn good this thing looked. Your opening mission moves from a dust and sand-laden cinema to dust and sand-laden environment. Snake's new sneaking suit looked slick, the maps were detailed, and Naomi's blouse was (thankfully) devoid of buttons. Throughout Metal Gear's time in the disc drive, gamers were treated to a land of visual delights."

So there you have it. Usually I don't think getting into debates like this but because we're talking MGS4, my favourite game ever, I shall step in and share my thoughts.

Killzone 3 may take the crown but then I think RAGE may take the crown from Killzone 3

Nah Uncharted 2 looks ground breaking back when it released but God of war 3 NOW takes the best looking console game crown for me.

God of war 3>U2>KZ2>MGS4.

Next up GT5 and KZ3!!!

IMO God Of war 3>Uncharted 2>KZ2>MGS4>Gears of War2=UnchartedDF>Gears Of War..Since were going back some years

lol
