And 3 of the games on that list was ps3 exclusives. Everything else was multi-platform except limbo. The PS3 is a powerful system. I wonder why he did not add GT5 to the list.

[VINNIEPAZ]

"I wonder why he did not add GT5 to the list."

And I wonder why you have to point out what system what game is on. WTF difference does it make? A great game is a great game regardless of the system. Only a fanboy would point out something so MEANINGLESS.

[xTruthx]

Mad ^^^^ ?, you shouldn't be talking about fanboys tho lol

[Pixelated_Army]

@VINNIEPAZ

bwahahaha.

What system these amazing games play on is not relevant information? Are you serious?

A.C 2, Limbo, ME2? And yet they omit Heavy Rain from the list??? FFFUUU!!

[ColdFire]

Odd, Assassins Creed II, and Mass Effect 2 are both also on PC, and for obvious reasons look far better on PC, yet it does not mention this at all. Lack of Crysis is rather telling too.

[vsr]

He didn't put GT5 because if he filled with PS3 exclusives, xbox fans will be angry and will lead to flamebait.

PS3 fans please calm. No xbox exlusives on the list.

[xstation79]

Yeah and the multiplatform games look better on the 360, whats your point?

[Motorola]

PS3 exclusives look amazing. thats the point

[MaxXAttaxX]

Multiplatform games look better on PC not 360.
Besides, there are some multiplatform games that look better on PS3 as well.

So "what's your point?"

[OhMyGandhi]

when I read the title, I can come up with 7 within seconds....my point being: why do articles like this come about? are they necessary?

[GamingForever]

they were very impressive!

[piroh]

i'm just glad there is GoW3 and Uncharted 2

[smurfz]

Assassin's Creed = AMAZING!

[Quagmire]

If there was any gaming world I would want to live in, it would be Assassin's Creed.

[Overmind420]

Just beautiful!

[awiseman]

Why the hell wasn't Crysis on there?

[HemDroid]

cause its crap

[iamgoatman]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[psb]

will change everything. That's all I can think.

[BLACKBOIJONES]

PS3 is the best.

[Downtown boogey]

5/1 agree/disagree ratio and it's an obvious trolling attempt.
Shame on YOU!

[cochise313]

This is a nice list; I think Uncharted should have been number one. I think they should have added Gears of war 2 and Heavy Rain though. What about MGS4?

[Nelson M]

Limbo my Backside

[MysticStrummer]

I'm not a huge fan of the series, but KZ2 should be on this list also if the topic is visuals. Also, the Dead Space games should be mentioned.

[cochise313]

What CONSOLE fps has looked better than KZ2?

[Tommykrem]

KZ3?

[Tommykrem]

Add Crysis, Metro and Heavy Rain and you'd have yourself a complete top 10 list! I suppose PC was left out since crysis isn't here, but then again it goes to show that PC doesn't really have THAT much in terms of graphically impressive games to brag about this generation (so far).

[hoops]

Thats odd because every multi-platform title listed in this thread looks far superior on the PC.

[Tommykrem]

Ok, congratulation on having better looking versions of multi-platform games on PC, which again in many cases is arguable. EVERY multi-platform game on that list (only TWO really... and where one of them were released six months late on PC) looks better on PC, five of them doesn't appear on PC at all. I just want PC gamers to stop playing the better graphics card (not the GPU, card as a figure of speech) that much is all. Sure PC is place the way to go for the absolute technical experience, but consoles aren't that far behind at all.

[iamgoatman]

"having better looking versions of multi-platform games on PC, which again in many cases is arguable"

No it isn't, even really lousy ports still look better on PC.

And neither console is even close in terms of raw graphics processing power compared to a modern PC, hell even a low end gaming PC runs circles around the consoles. I'm not saying whats been done on consoles considering their age isn't impressive, because it is, but PC's left them both far behind some time ago.

It may be true that we could have seen more games make better use of the technology on offer, but with the introduction of DX11 and the like, even some multiplats look better than any console exclusive.

[hoops]

To add to looking better...it runs better on a PC, besting the consoles almost guaranteed limit of 30fps or less and 720p or less resolution.
Then that multi-platform game is $5-$20 cheaper sometimes on top of that.
Just saying.....

[Tommykrem]

Seriously, I've seen games run on high end PCs and I've seen games run on some pretty good TV screens, and while which TV screen you choose makes a lot more difference than one might think (seriously, there is an uninmaginable difference between games like LBP, Dead Space, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Killzone running on a TV for 500$ and a TV for 5000$, which I unfortunately do not own, but really unimaginable) there really aren't that much of difference. Mass Effect 2 and Black Ops are games where I really notice the difference, but then again none of the versions for those games look close to Uncharted 2. And also, running a PC game on a big screen does make it look less attractive. That's why there's so few differences in a screenshot comparison between console PC when pictures are the same size.

[Barajas_201]

red dead doesnt look that great on ps3, killzone should off been number 1, well until uncharted 3 comes

[theonlylolking]

4 out of those I did not agree with. Crysis 1, MW2(PC) and metro 2033(PC) should have been on that list.

edit:Killzone 2 should also be on that list

[Relientk77]

Killzone 3, God of War 3, Assassin's Creed 2, Red Dead Redemption, and Uncharted 2 all good and beautiful games

[baodeus]

why don't they add Resident evil 5, Crysis 1 in there? If they add in Limbo, which is more like artistic, then hell there are a lot of great looking games out there.

[IHateYouFanboys]

1 of the most pointless rubbish sites in the recent years:

1. Gamingbolt.

im yet to see a decent article from them, not sure why articles from them keep getting approved on here?

[iNMyFiN4LH0uR]

I would take out Mass Effect 2, not quite the visual milestone (although it stands strong as one of the best games ever made, seriously). I would add Far Cry 2, GT5 and Crysis.

[ian72]

Some good games there, and games are getting better. Just watched some Resistance 3 multi-player and its looking fantastic.
