    No question - Okami. Loved the art style.

    I adored this game for its uniqueness and artwork. You almost never hear about it, though. I loved playing it. I lost whole days to it back then. I'd highly recommend it if you have a PS2. I was so mad when I found out PS2 games wouldn't work on PS3. :cry:

    I'm torn on Skyrim. You can mod it to get those hi-res textures. But honestly, for a 5G game, it's not bad at all. Oblivion was such a computer hog at the time. I kind of like that they chose a different route for Skyrim.

    And I don't know if this is the most beautiful game, but I loved the unique Art Deco style of Bioshock.

    Shadow of the Colossus had a nifty art style to it too.

    Ugh. Double post. Sorry.
  • For it's time, I'm gonna give 'Okami' a shout.

    Battlefield 3 also.

    Also don't laugh at me.. but I loved the graphics to 'Flower'.

    Honestly, the one game that always stands out for me for its simplicity and beauty is "Shadows of the Colossus" for the PS2. Open landscape, but gorgeous -- especially considering that this was the PS2, not the PS3. It had a beautiful musical score and storyline, too.

    And that I LOVED that the game itself was just one boss fight after another. :bigsmile:

    Lineage 2. The game had beautiful artwork and graphics. It's a super grind though, and from what I've noticed not a lot of english players. Rift and Aion were contenders as well, but L2 wins for me hands down.

    Valkyrie Profile made my jaw drop. :)

    I thought this was fantastic looking too. They even made an anime about it! Or maybe it was the anime, then the game. Either way. Great art in that game.

    The game that really made me comment on graphics.. was Batman: Arkham Asylum.. The way batman's cloak would become slowly tattered throughout the story.. It was just awesome..

    Fable. There's just something beautiful about being able to beat up Beardy Baldy for an unlimited amount of time. :laugh:

    Shadow of the colossus, what a beautiful game :'(
  • Skyrim must be mentioned, but I will always be in love with the Shivering Isles in Elder Scrolls iv: Oblivion and Bioshock. It isn't just about graphics for me, it's about the feeeeel.

    Also,
    ico
    okai
    shadow of the colossus
    mass effect 1 &2
    lost odyssey.....seriously the most beautiful turn-based rpg everrrr
  • Mass Effect 1 & 2 <3
  • *okami

    I thought Flower was lovely, not just graphically, but just the whole concept. I loved that game. I wish there were more like it.

    Completely agree on Alice: Madness Returns. It's completely amazing, if a little slow to load :)
    Also, I kind of disagree on Skyrim. It's probably just me since I'm only watching it be played and not playing it (yet) but it seems really....dark, shadowy, hard to see....everyone looks the same.

    And nthing FFXIII, the story was confusing but damn it was beautiful.
  • Guild Wars. It's so beautiful. I wish I enjoyed it more because it makes the graphics in WoW look like a child's scribbles.
