If you want bright coloured go play Viva pinata!
Or maybe Overlord, Shadowrun and many others.
Ithink the problem is here that the games you want to play just dont match the colour scheme.
Imagine Bioshock in bright colours no bloodstains and everyone was REALLY nice it wouldn't be a fun game because of saving it your destroying it.
Which would probably be pretty fun...

Team Fortress 2 is highly unrealistic. I mean, sure, there's the Source physics system, blood and falling damage, limbs flying after exploding and so forth... But come on.
I mean, it's one of the best things about TF2, but you have to agree that graphics are NOT realistic.
Quite contrary.

Gears is supposed to be dark and gritty. Saints Row 2 isn't supposed to be dark and gritty and doesn't look like that. I don't mind that there are dark and brown games, as long as they're supposed to be dark and gritty. GTA isn't supposed to be dark and gritty so GTA4 shouldn't be gritty looking.
If we angled realism to the degree some people whine for half of fallout 3 would have been taking pit stops for unruly diarrhea from all the foreign irradiated crap you scarf down.
Personally i like the cartoony colorful action and environments that jive together. I like games that understand they are games (things you play for FUN). Resistance 1 was much the same style and felt allot like half life, but they nearly abandoned it for a bucket full of grit and Call of duty in the second. I enjoyed Resistance 2, allot because it was somehow able to meet me in the middle. Realistic within reason but still aware of itself.

That's the point. When the game actually is real, it won't be trying anymore.apmpnmdslkbk said:
Look, can I say something about all the brown-colored commentary?
Some places are just freakin' brown and dingy. This certainly occurs a'plenty in any spot where...
...there is dirt.
...there is stone.
...there is sand.
...there are things blowing up.
...there are things made of wood.
...there is some guy painting things brown.
It's not worth complaining over unless you're a game writer who wants to set things in a mauve medieval castle. (This might be an interesting sight, but you get the idea.)

I don't see where all this "brown" is in gaming, it really is overblown (with notable exceptions of course(Gears 1). Take Call of Duty 4 for example:
Yes there is brown but there is also many other colours.
It sounds like OP needs to play Noby Noby Boy.
I thought Mirrors Edge had a really washed out look.
I find that a lot of my games have very different art styles and color pallets. The only realistic art style that bothers me is the attempted ultra-realistic Bethesda look. Unfortunately, even with the current gen tech, the most realistic they can get is the look of a Disneyworld automatron.
Seriously, the first time I played Oblivion, I thought it was made in Epcot.
