and the winner goes to


im not even gonna bother posting more pics because they don't do the game any justice. this game has the best textures, draw distance, enemies on screen and huge enviornments. im sick of people trying to downplay this games graphics, the lighting is simply the best in the business which is why bungie made a small sacrifice by rendering in 640p to get maximum HDR, this shows particularly in the last level if u stare at the ground then look at the sky its quite amazing. not to mention any slowdowns. and when was the last time u shot a rocket at a very far off cliff or building to see it actually hit the building and not dissapear, its because thats actually geometry out there.

Halo 3 is a bit of a mixed bag imo, sometimes it just dosn't look so good. But most of the time its great.

Bioshock is probably one of the better looking 360 titles.. Mass Effect soon.

I wouldn't say its the best looking game on 360 but i do think its a great looking game, and like you said it is awesome how when you go from dark places to light places (like walking out of a tunnel) the light is blinding just like in real life because your eyes need to adjust to the light, another thing that shows of the awesome lighting is when the scarab blows up, in theatre you can pause it right when it blows and its amazing, the explosion lights up most of the level!

Mass Effect will be because of the sheer variety in the visuals and the size and scope. Currently I would say Gears of War is still the best looking game, Halo 3 has it's moments but there is also parts of the game that don't look very good.

I just love picking out the finer details in games, and everytime I look somewhere Halo 3 has one of them.

One of the latest effects I'm at awe with is the smoke effects in "Floodgate". Goddamn do they look sexy and volumetric.

Oh, and that cutscene just after the level is nothing short of amazing. That's some hot cinematography right there.

I know there's one really badly textured Marine that stands out from the rest, but a lot them are pretty darn amazing for nameless soldiers. For some reason a lot of my screenshots messed up the lighting (one shot I took had Arbiter completely covered in shadow on my TV, but decided to add some lighting just for the screenshot. Totally unwanted), but this guy didn't turn out half bad in the process:

I dont think Halo3 looks all that great personally. Even Naruto looks better. However gameplay makes up for it in spades.

Halo 3? Really? I'd go with Bioshock, Gears or even Viva Pinata over that.

Gears, Halo 3, Bioshock, Eternal Sonata, Viva Pinata... They all look so good!

I think Mass Effect will take the crown shortly though.
