..GTA IV

I am now convinced that a fully patched GTA IV is the 2nd best looking game on the pc behind crysis (ok third if you include warhead). I am only running the game on medium to high settings and it just looks amazing, the level of detail in the game continues to amaze even now 3 months after purchasing. Seeing it in motion with the view distance and draw detail turned right up on max resolution is a sight to behold, and now with the 3rd patch improving performance even more the game no longer needs a Cray to run it. I can only imagine how good it will look maxed out (*drools).

Now for the evidence...

I rest my case!

Sure it could do with some Anti Aliasing to get rid of those jaggy edges, but still, in motion, it beats fallout 3, far cry 2, assassins creed, gears of war, bioshock, dead space, prince of persia, stalker, cod 4 / waw and mass effect. And having seen cryostasis running on high settings i can confirm it beats that too.

So to conclude, with the technical issues patched into the past, gta iv is a game that pc owners should no longer feel hesitant to buy. And beneath the gorgeous exterior, theres a pretty good game underneath too!
