This year's Best Graphics category proves that beautiful games can exist in any genre, from military shooters like Modern Warfare 2 to dialogue-heavy adventure games like Heavy Rain. The list of finalists also gives us a good glimpse at just how talented the Ubisoft Montreal team is, with Splinter Cell: Conviction and Assassin's Creed 2 both boasting incredible visuals.
But one game rises above the pack, and that's Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Just as Guerrilla Games showed earlier this year with Killzone 2, Naughty Dog has proven that Sony's internal studios seem to have a knack for getting the most out of the PlayStation 3's unique hardware.
Whether it was the Sony press conference stage demo transitioning from a stunning rooftop view of Nepal to a firefight within a crumbling building, or the official E3 trailer that focused on the excellent character models and facial animations, Uncharted 2 is a sight to behold from any distance. Even more impressive is how Naughty Dog has avoided sticking to one visual comfort zone; instead, the game boasts environments that go from bright and chaotic urban streets to snowy, muted mountain terrain. It's that terrific balance between spectacle and attention to detail that snagged Uncharted 2 our Best Graphics award.
