NowGamer recaps, in no particular order, the 25 prettiest games ever from an artistic perspective rather than a technical one. Which games deliver pure eye candy?
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
article really has confused itself yet they state ' All too often, gamers confuse the technical proficiency and visually impressive aspects of games' ,ok if it was based on technical prowess then no doubt its either GOW3 or uncharted 2 for top spot,but its NOT technical prowess they are 'preaching' about and telling us that 'we' gamers confuse,but 'prettiness' as an art direction so how would uncharted 2 be number one and gow3 at 18th? both are neither pretty in an art direction both are just absolutely stunning and technically phenomenal
gow3 and uncharted2 are the best looking games this generation but for 'prettiness' at number one should be flower or okami
Fail article is fail. No Crysis on the list? Dude, just...
Killzone 2
Crysis
All the games listed are from this gen. Why does the title say "ever"? I expected a list of games ranging from all generations that were the best looking for their time. And that have art direction that still looks good today. Games like Shadow of the beast or Jet set radio to mention two. Either the writer has a limited history as a gamer or he was too lazy to do proper research. Even if he's going by this gen the article is flawed. It doesn't say "console games" and Crysis isn't even on the list.
nice list, I would put both Killzone 2, MGS4, DeadSpace, and Gears of War in there
