I wanted to create this topic for educational purposes rather than as a trump card. I hope a forum non-gamer takes a gander at these games and is blown away by the design. I don't feel like adding descriptions and think that with the screens and videos you can get an idea for what is there, since this is an audio-visual medium. Feel free to add and recommend more screenshots and videos (as well as additional games) as I couldn't find all the media I wanted. Echochrome (PlayStation 3/PSP)

Cosmic Smash is beautiful. I never could understand why they didn't bring it stateside.

Damn you Jon!, I was just typing up a starter for a videogames as art discussion (and my hesitance to call games as a medium 'art').

It probably would've been an eloquent counter-point to my "do-it-yourself" links and picturez.

I cant find a good video of it, but the ending credits of Twisted Metal Black were pretty good.



Resident Evil 5 looks like it will have a highly stylized look, not unlike 300.



Capcom just had to include a trademark ultra cheesy line at the end.

We shouldn't only focus on the visuals - video game music has been arranged/adapted and played by very well respected orchestras, and the storylines of many games would have been worthy of any book.
