Special Achievement

Best Graphics, Technical

Graphics are by no means the most important feature of a game, but they certainly do matter. While bad controls can suck all the fun out of a game, great visuals are capable of drawing you right in. And when a game has truly terrific graphics, not only is the person playing it capable of being lost in the experience, but so is anyone within sight range. That's the sort of competition we've got among this year's crop of finalists. Inside, we have photo-realistic cars, twisted zombie monsters, intense warzones, lifelike wisecracking treasure hunters, and stunning rooftop views all vying for the grand prize. But no matter what, the winner will prove just how much terrific visuals add to a game.

    Grand theft auto chinatown wars? One, its on the DS. Two, its top down so you dont really see the grafics at all. How does that get nominated for best grafics?

    Yeah as much as I don't care for Uncharted 2 (for various extremely good reasons) I have to hand it to them that their graphics were the sweetest. Unfortunatly that is about all the game had going for it.

    its easy to win best graphics it seems if your the ps3 and im sure the same will be said once god of war 3 is nominated but otherwise im surprised modern warfare 2 isnt up here its graphics were a improvement over modern warfare and to this day that game still looks good.

    i love forza3 so much , but the graphics arent even close to uncharted 2 , sorry but its obvious that forza3 graphics is the best of what xbox360 has to offer , i was a little disappointed by them though.
