ET......Atari VCS

PS3: Uncharted 2/KZ2/ GoW3/ Heavy Rain

360: Gears of War 2, RDR maybe... idk

Wii: lol are you serious?

Still nothing compared to PC though.

If it has to be a console then PS3 no doubt.

Imo.

PS3 Art - God of War 3

PS3 Tech - Uncharted 2/Killzone 2

360 art - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

360 Tech - Gears of War 2

Wii art - SMG 1 and 2, Muramasa, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Epic Mickey (Later this year,) Tatsunoko vs Capcom, NMH2,

Wii tech - Red Steel 2, Metriod: Other M/Prime 3, SMG 1 and 2, Goldeneye 007, Sin and Punishment: SS, Monster Hunter 3.

PC tech/art - Crysis, Crysis Warhead, The Witcher, Dragon Age Origins, Oblivion, Starcraft 2, Mafia 2, Bad Company 2, ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead...theres too many games to list here.

Red Dead Redemption perhaps? (PS3 or 360)

Agree with the overall sentiment here. Nothing will take advantage of your 50" HDTV like a PC will, because, you know, the Pc is the only thing that will put up a full 1080p image on there that looks amazing.

The consoles can only upscale a 720p (or even less) resolution image, with lower graphics detail, lower rez textures, slower framerates, etc.

PS3: GT5... If the damn game ever comes out.... Yeah i'm griping but when it does come out it should look amazing in full 1080p with such great lighting and realistic graphics. Uncharted 2 should look nice too and Killzone 2 but only played the demo so won't say too much but seems people like it. Xbox: I like Gears graphics but not sure it would show off a TV... Reach looks great though it's well polished(most of it anyway).

Edit: Also buy some blu-rays and your well ahead of xbox in that department. A top blu-ray movie is usually only a few quid(or dollars) more than a dvd... Especially on a boxset when a pack of DVD's might cost £35 and only blu-ray it's £40... So the prices have definitely fallen but make sure they are 1080p to really show your TV off.

PS3.

tne buy the Inception Bluray.

People are saying Gears 2 for 360.... Do you guys really believe the 360 is 3 years behind the PS3? I mean surely the have a better looking game than UC1/MGS4 by now..

Well, remember that PS3 has Bluray, so youll be able to watch HD movies as well.

if you want to show off your new 50" HDTV you hook up a gaming PC. Not a console with hardware from the stone ages.

From what i know on tvs, is they are different from monitors, a PC game can look worse depending on the tv you buy. ethier way a bluray is the best way to show off a tv

I am having a debate with my friend, and we can't agree on which game has the best graphics for each console. So, Best graphics for PS3= what game? Best graphics for 360 = What game? Best graphics for Wii = What game? My relatives will spend time at my house this Christmas. I want to buy a new console to impress them with graphics on my new 50" HD TV. What console is best if you want to impress you relatives with graphics? Xbox 360 or PS3?booniga

• Best graphics for PS3= Uncharted 2, Killzone 3, GT5
• Best graphics for 360 = Gears of War 2 or 3, Mass Effect 2, Halo Reach, Red Dead Redemption
• Best graphics for Wii = Super Mario World 2, Kirby Epic Yarn

PS3

Then buy the Inception Blu-Ray.

I still need to get that on Blu-Ray. Thanks for the reminder. That movie was awesome.

360 or PS3. Doesn't matter which, really. They're pretty much the same.

Best graphics for PS3 - Uncharted 1 or 2

Best for the 360 - Halo Reach

If you don't have a lot of free time and just wanna buy a video game console just to impress your relatives, I would just go for a blu-ray player instead.

Wii-SMG 2

PS3-Uncharted 2

360-Gears of War 2

mw2 on ps3 and 360. wii ummm a random wiiware game?

Idk, 50''? Why not buy a $700 computer from Newegg and run Crysis on 1650x1050 resolution or something? Computers, even without MLAA but at a higher resolution, have the capability to make more of your 1080p television. It may cost a bit more, but it definitely shows. Even on my 42'' 1080p tele, if I go up to about three feet away, I can see some jaggies in KZ2 and UC2 (don't know about GoW3 which does use MLAA cuz I haven't played it yet). However, if you build a nice machine with more compatible parts, such as ATI/AMD and Nvidia/Intel, you can get it for pretty cheap, especially over buying a pre-built one, and that PC will look so nice with your television :)Weird_Jerk

doesn't matter what game you play on the wii. on a 50" screen that 480i resolution is always going to look ropey

Why are people naming games for a 480p console when he just bought a 1080p TV?
