Best Looking PC Games

What are the best looking PC games right now graphic wise?

I have BC2, GTA IV, Crysis 1 & 2 and they all look great, but are there other games which really show just how good PC games look compared to consoles?

I want to play a few games with awesome graphics & scenery to make the most of my gaming computer.

Try playing Metro 2033.

Stalker Clear Sky.

Those should keep you busy for a while. (Clear sky is the prequel to Stalker : Shadow of Chernobyl, btw).

Crysis 2 and Metro, though the latter is a real beast to run.

Metro 2033 is good overall, but then it is mostly blacks/greys and gloomy darkness.

Some parts seem bad in places, but inside in the metro 'camps' and stuff its good.

Just Cause 2 looks fantastic too, especially with the cuda water. Ok it's a multiplatform game, but the PC version is so much better.

Certainly GTA IV, even without any 'mods', you can notice much more detail in just about everything.

X3 is absolutely beautiful, I could stare at it for hours.

Minecraft

I quite like Arkham Asylum and UT3. Neither are PC exclusive but look great when you ramp up the settings.

Devil May Cry 4 has a DX10 mode. Dirt 2 is a great racing game and looks the business. Trine is also a fantastic looking game, in fact a fantastic game full stop.

Apparently World in Conflict has one of the best nuclear missile animations.

+1 It's lovely looking game with a learning curve to match. Such a shame there not making any more X games (although it makes you wonder what the studio will do next with all the experience in space sims. Perhaps a brand new IP with a more arcade feel to it in the vein of X-Wing/Tie Fighter?).

The new Elder Scrolls game looks like it could be a video card killer.

Batman Arkham Asylum
Also a modded crysis, simply shows something that consoles will NEVER achieve:

personally think Medieval 2 looks fantastic. But then i can run it on max settings shame i cant do the same for Shogun 2. :/ So shogun almost looks worse but ive only played it for 10 minutes so far.

Are you guys serious mentioning GTA IV ?

Its far from the best looking PC game out there.

Visually i think games like Batman:AA, Metro, BC2, Crysis, Mass Effect 2 are on top.

Subject to opinion, though I can't say I would put it in the same class as Metro or Clear Sky either.

Granted.

That said the game doesnt even offer AA.

Also the fact that most people have to reduce effects to get it to run.
