After a very long and impatient wait of saving and frustration, I ordered a plasma tv.

What games look the best?

I already own..

Ace Combat 6

Left 4 Dead

Mass Effect

Fallout 3

Fable 2

Gears of War 2

and Resident Evil 5.

Are there any other suggestions? Possibly older games that aren't as pricey? Any help is appreciated.

If you're going just for looks, rent Assassin's Creed and Far Cry 2. Bioshock looks really good too, but that is worth buying, in my opinion.

Honestly, I have a 42" LCD and everything I own looks fantastic. Well... except Earth Defense 2017, or whatever it is called... and Halo 3 isn'tthat impressive...

When I first got my HDTV I I popped in Mass Effect which I had just gotten as well. Well, imagine my surprise when Mass Effect looked dirty and blurry. I continued playin for like, 2 hours, complaining the whole time about the graininess. I finnally got curious and checked the video options and Lo and Behold!! ... The Film Grain option was toggle on!! I turned it off and WOW was the difference clear. Crisp and smooth.

Gears 2 dropped my jaw. As did COD: WAW (first level when the flares pop up and the Japanese ambush you for the first time :) Best looking game so far is a tie between Dead Space and RE 5.

All games look good in HD. If you're asking what games show the biggest difference from SD to HD I'm not sure. Last time I played a 360 game in SD was 2005. I did notice a huge improvement in the way Kameo looked back then. It has a demo on Live if you want to check it out. If you're looking for something more realistic COD4 looks really good too. Other than that as someone already mentioned Bioshock looks great but IMO you already have the best looking game on 360. Resident Evil 5.

Yeah they over did the film grain a bit, thing is for some reason some HDTV's it looks great others it looks terrible. Would have been better if it was just very slight or gave you an option to turn it down instead completely off because it looks sick when it's not looking like you're in the middle of a swarm of bugs. Killzone 2 (yeah for PS3 I know) I found did it just right: you could only notice the grain if you really looked for it on light sources,otherwise it was subliminal and you'd never notice it even if you played the whole game, but the great thing it did was cover up the aliasing-issue of 'shimmering' edges, and made it seem like it was from a real source. Hoping they do something like that for ME2.
