4. MotorStorm (PS3)
Sony's off-road racer was one of the most impressive trailers from E3 in 2005, but it's long absence had many wondering where the heck it raced off to. But MotorStorm is back with a vengeance and it easily makes our list of best-looking games at TGS.
In the trailer last year, critics speculated that the trailer wasn't actually in game footage, but last the Sony event last night proved the video was actually for real. MotorStorm is an ATV-style off-road race with some truly incredible particle effects, mapping, and physics that looks to be one of the most promising PS3 titles, not only in terms of graphics, but gameplay as well.
5. Lair (PS3)
We had heard about Sony's Lair for the PS3, but TGS was the first time we got to experience it first hand. And what an experience it was.
Lair utilizes the motion-tilting function of the PS3 controller to fly an insanely cool looking dragon, over some breathtaking ocean water, through the air while simultaneously spewing out fireballs at pesky enemies. It plays even better than it sounds.
6. DOAX2 (Xbox 360)
Itagaki's Team Ninja is back with the second installment of the DOAX series, and this time it's not just about volleyball. Sure, the volleyball looks impressive, too, but the real beauty of the game are the ladies of Dead or Alive and the gorgeous water effects in the beach jet skiing mode.
Tecmo has proven the Dead or Alive franchise to be one of the most technically impressive on the Xbox 360, and DOAX2 will continue in the same fashion, pushing the 360 to new limits.
