I am trying to find a game that can show off my X360 on my new theater set up. I wanted to know what are the greatest looking games out right now from a technical standpoint.

I know in the future I will be looking into Forza 4 (the cars look real!), Gears 3, Battlefield 3, and Elder Scrolls Skyrim from what I have seen at E3

However, as far as games that are out now I am not sure what is the most graphically demanding game. I thought maybe Crysis since I heard it killed people's PCs, but then i heard that it was dumbed down for consoles and there are better looking games.

So far I am thinking:

  • LA Noire
  • Mass Effect 2 (Already Own).
  • Dead Space 2

That's what I am thinking. Thoughts? Do you agree, am I totally wrong? If anyone has a site that shows benchmarks or something for the 360 like they do with PCs I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

I haven't played those games, but I can say the Spit//Second looks really good.

Ehh I'm not really into racing games Forza 4 would be enough for me. I'll just wait for it to come out.

I guess for now I'll stick to ME2 and Dead Space 2 for my graphical display.

Crysis 2 and Dead Space have the most "realistic" graphics in my opinion, but the best looking game is probably the upcoming Gears of War 3... I just love the art style in that game

Duke Nukem Forever.

In all seriousness, CRYSIS 2 looked great and MASS EFFECT 2 looked awesome as well.

Crysis 2

But that's not saying much, nothing "wows" me on 360.

Ok so it looks like I will have to get Crysis 2 to show off my x360 theater setup. And I guess I'll get God of War 3 and Uncharted series for my ps3 hooked up to the same system.

I've seen better graphics than COD. COD has been running the same engine for years, though I like the game.

I was going to get Gears 3 regardless. Plus, I've always loved the Unreal engine look.

And I have ME2.

So until Forza 4 comes out it looks like i'll have the graphical beasts covered.

And yes I know PCs have had better graphics for years. However, I'd rather spend my money on a 3D tv theater setup than a gaming rig that would technically be outdated within a year. Plus, I don't know enough about PCs to build one, even switching out the graphics card would be too complicated for me. And fanboys don't hate, i own a mac.

I'd say Crysis, but Dead Space has some amazingly realistic graphics as well. I just got done with L.A. Noire and it's a beautiful game too.

Crysis 2 on 360 is the best looking console game according to most reviewers.

Battlefield 3 might look really good on October 25. It certainly does on the PC, but we will see how that translates over to consoles.

My friend brought over LA Noire, as great as it looks, to be honest I'm not a big fan of the gameplay. I like how it is unique and more like a movie than a game. But that's just the thing, I want to play a game. LA Noire moves too slow for me, but definetly a great piece of work.

Battlefield 3 might look really good on October 25. It certainly does on the PC, but we will see how that translates over to consoles.

I'm excited for BF3 but worried that the E3 demonstration was running on a PC running with 2GeForce GTX 485Ms or something. I'm not sure, but I don't think 2006 technology can compete with that.

I know. I like the game, but it's a prety fanyboyish thing to say considering it's still using the same engine from COD 3. I believe it's the same engine used in COD 3, if anyone has a link saying otherwise please inform me.

Crysis 2

But that's not saying much, nothing "wows" me on 360.

Meant to ask this earlier, UC?

If it's regardless of console, then I'd say Crysis 1 or The Witcher 2.

It's hard to say wich game has the best graphics cause they all have their own style, but in my opinion these are the games wich look the best.

Mass Effect 2, Crysis 2, Vanquish, LA Noire, Halo Reach.

Alan Wake impressed me far more than Crysis. It's probably pretty cheap now as well.

So far it seems like I have it covered then.

But can someone answer my previous qustion.

What does UC stand for? Someone said something along the lines of "UC eats all of these games for breakfast."

Trying to figure out what game UC is, and if its a PC only game which is why I don't understand it.

UC stands for Uncharted, an exclusive series to the PS3.

As for your topic, I would say Assassin's Creed I, Alan Wake, BlazBlue: CS, or Crysis 2.

Thank you. I own Uncharted 1, need to pick up the 2nd one eventually.
