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.

indeed and it still looks amazing on older hardware

Lost Planet2 in DX11 is one of the best looking PC game's right now although Just Cause2 in DX11 is another stunner.

Space Invaders, Tetris, etc......

Just Cause 2 - won't find a better looking game (and runs really well on a variety of hardware too!).

personally think Medieval 2 looks fantastic.

I agree, even with it all maxed, and from a game about '5 years old?', it still looks good

& F1 2010, looks great

F1 2010 looks OK on the whole, but it can be a bit bland at times. Does look excellent in the rain though.

Metro2033 has a case for being graphically the best but its brown and dark setting mean its far from beatiful especially as you want scenery. My vote for Crysis 1 (with mods) or 2. The first with mods cant be beaten. Just cause 2 is also a good shout, its a bit cartoony but the scale and lushness mean its lovely to look at.

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

What mods are you two referring too? I'm going to install Crysis 1 again today because I havent played it for years and all the screenshots people have been showing me look amazing, I think when it first came out my graphics card at the time struggled with it and I ran it on medium settings, three graphics cards later and am hoping I can run it maxed out

Is there some mods which make it look better like? Do tell...

I quite partial to real lifesis myself. Only going from videos I have seen as the original barely ran well on my pc as it was (although still one of the best looking games around in vanilla form).

Have a look at this old thread. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18003043&highlight=real+lifesis

Or have a look at this guys thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18003043&highlight=real+lifesis

Metro 2033 is awesome.

How about mirrors edge?

opethdisciple · 18 Apr 2011 at 00:39

Yes trigger I love you!!!

Was just about to mention Mirror's Edge, looks absolutely stunning maxed out on PC.

Someone else mentioned X3, well I have been playing Black Prophecy recently and it is amazing, even better than X3, and it's free which is just awesome

Just Cause 2 is good

, still don't know how they managed to fit it in 4gb...

Riven, Exile or Revelation. Never been beaten for visual and audio beauty IMO. Revelation was particularly immersive. Makes me want to reinstall!

Such a shame they don't really make P&C games with pre-rendered graphics like this any more. Myst died with Uru/Online.

Crysis 1&2, Assassins creed: 1,2,3,Mirros Edge, GTA4
