I've been playing Mass Effect 2 a lot recently and it has the best graphics I've seen to date (except for perhaps Crysis, but I like ME2's graphics better). Any other ideas? I really want to use my computer to it's fullest with the new 6870 I just put in it.

most of you people are having a discussion based on illicit detail.
you really need to decipher what you are talking about before you start having a vote.
what needs to be deciphered:
- do you like games with lots of tessellation and a load of bumps on the textures?
- do you prefer games with lots of graphic detail, regardless of how much tessellation and bumps the environment has?
bulletstorm has a load of tessellation and bumps on everything.
but the actual color accuracy of the pictures that wrap the wired 3D models are mediocre and dull.
the final result feels highly fake and cartoonish, all because of the shade of colors they decided to use.
the developers might have wanted to make the graphics look fake and cartoonish.
and it is your right to enjoy the massive amount of bumps rather than a step towards photo-realism.
a standard needs to be made.
because photo-realism provides 'graphic' content in an invisible method.
its when your brain starts to dive into the screen and you get an altered sense of environment.
cartoon 'graphic' content is not invisible.
all of the extra wires and bumps in the textures are seen, pointed at, and claimed as 'graphic'
those two different uses of the word 'graphic' are used extremely differently.
one might consider all of the extra wires a 'seasoning' like salt or pepper on food.
another might consider the brain being tricked into thinking its in a new environment as 'seasoning'

Crysis Warhead is still number 1 visually though Metro 2033 is a close 2nd
1. Crysis Warhead
2. Metro 2033
3. Crysis
4. BFBC 2
5. Call of Juarez Bound in Blood (seriously good texture work)
6. Batman Arkham Asylum
7. Just Cause 2
8. Far Cry 2
I think many games look absolutely gorgeous but these 8 are the ones that stand out to me. I am probly forgetting a game or 2 that might replace some on my list but I can not remember them at the moment.

Aside from Crysis, the two most intensive games I own are Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2. Looking through my Steam collection, I don't have anything else that compares from a graphics stand point. I still can't max out GTA4 but JC2 alone looks better.

Metro 2033 hands down... I would say it owns Crysis in the graphics department. Metro 2033 brings my machine to a halt if I max the settings whilst Crysis does not. That being said it's hard to compare Crysis to Metro 2033 just because one deals with a jungle setting while the other deals with a post apocolyptic dark world. However if we are judging by just how NPC's look then Metro 2033 wins no questions asked.
I suppose the true test would be building a custom jungle map in Metro 2033 and seeing how it looks. Just my 2 cents.

I've seen pretty good tech demos of the CryEngine 2...and if you pushed both to the limit, it probably comes down to who designs it.
But if you take a look at the tech demo below (CryEngine 3 for Cinema), you got to admit, CryEngine 3 has got some pretty nice features that CryEngine 2 didn't have...

I recently bought a new system that can run Crysis Warhead at 2560x1440 with everything maxed out. Everything.
I can't imagine anything better graphically. Mass Effect 2 at that rez looks nice but very bare bones in comparison. A fun thing to do if you get a new system is go back to Crysis/Crysis Warhead (I played them on lesser setting a couple years ago) and play them on easy mode just to take a tour of the graphics. Fun stuff.

People think that just because a game was actually developed properly, the graphics are crap, this is not true, shure crysis and metro 2033 choke all but a 3 way 580 sli and I7 extreme setup but that isnt because there graphics are great, thats because they are coded like ***, people assume they look better because they choke up there systems, get real people, the only reason they seem better is because you have more time to stare at indevidual frames every time they choke up.
none the less screw all those games im waiting for Battlefield 3, because its being made right, and being ported to the consoles, not the other way arround
B3=pc -graphics to the consoles
other games= consoles+graphics to pc
