What game had the BEST graphics of 2008?

[DigitalSushi]

My computer isn't even that good for gaming (it's more specialized for GPGPU rendering and audio production). You'd be better off building your own

I have no idea what GPGPU rendering is but I totally want a PC that can do that now.

"my PC is optimized for GPGPU rendering"
I totally need to say that with convinction in a pub, before I die I swear to GOD i'm gonna do it.

Best Graphics: Technical
- Metal Gear Solid 4

Best Graphics: Artistic
- Valkyria Chronicles

Sounds like something straight from gamespot.

We all know that the best graphics were in Mega Man 9. Beautiful 8-bit

Truthfully, Crysis: Warhead looks amazing.

Resistance 2 is a 2008 title. Portal (the Orange Box actually) is from 2007.

While it maybe doesn't count as a full title - more of an expansion pack - Crysis WARHEAD wins hands down.

To even claim that any Xbox or PS3 game is superior in graphics in comparison to Crysis Warhead is nothing less of an insult.

Yet console fans still like to talk about their graphical superiority.

LBP. Textures to stroke my silky tongue over.

LBP was good, but MGS4 is as good graphically as that Final Fantasy movie.

Warhead works on its own so i believe it should count.
Consoles have never been the graphical forerunners think about it like this most games on the PS3 run at 1280x720P so my computer running at 1280x1024 has an extra 389120 pixels of resolution.
Hi-def my ass computer monitors have been doing that resolution (and greater) for over a decade 12x10 is considered a very low resolution by PC gamers now.

Crysis Warhead. Was there really any competition?

I was expecting big things from Far Cry 2, but sadly it was not to be.
