Xbox 360 What are the most visually appealing Xbox 360 games?

[Dockings]

What are some of the best visually, artwork, etc. Games that mesh well with the storyline for Xbox 360?

I already know and love the Borderlands series, Bio-shock series, and Mirror's Edge.

Please enlighten me with some more

Personally I loved Crysis 2. It's amazing in every aspect.
You'll be overwhelmed with the details and graphics overall!
Another stunning game is Forza Horizon - man that game is beautiful! It's wonderful to just roam through the map and visiting those places!
You should try these out.

Just got Red Dead Redemption recently and I'm blown away by the graphics. The lighting is amazing. I love how they did not go overboard with bloom and saturation like so many other games. Only thing that annoys me a bit is characters don't look wet enough in heavy rain.

Speaking of lighting, you just reminded me about Alan Wake.
Boy was that game beautiful! I'm not exaggerating while I say there hasn't quite been a game with such beautiful, amazingly detailed graphics.
The shadow/light contrast is perfect, the animations are stunning, everything has life in that game!
I've seen game videos that look worse than Alan Wake's gameplay footage.

There are a lot of games that are considered technical wonders on the Xbox 360. Here are the games that I have played which really pleased my eyes:
- Halo 4
- Tomb Raider
- Gears of War 3
- Crysis 2
- Assassin's Creed
- Elder Scrolls

I really like the skyrim graphics even though they aren't the best, I just really like how they are, and also when it first came out the first Assassins creed, I remember that was the first time I saw graphics and was like WOW I've just been blown away. They were amazing,

Without going in to how they stack up now, there were games that I played that pushed the boundary of what I thought was possible on the machine further. The first game I played extensively on the 360 was Gears of War, and I thought it was a great feat. Here are the games that momentarily had me in awe when I first played them:

Bioshock
Resident Evil 5
Mirror's Edge
Final Fantasy XIII
Crysis 2
Rage (in hindsight, it kinda looks a little washy)
Skyrim (not so much the pretty visuals themselves, but the scale of the world factored in)

And games that have cool art styles:

Prince of Persia
Borderlands
Limbo
Mega Man 9 and 10 (sure, it's simplistic, but these truly feel like the old Mega Man games)
Mirror's Edge

Halo 4 is also an appealing-looking game, and the CGI is awesome. It might just be the epitome of what a 360 exclusive game should be like in the visual department.

I got to say that when I bought Halo 4 and began to play I was inmediatly amazed by the graphics, details and how the CGI looked, I have never seen a better looking game and I think it could only be beaten with a PC game and even then.

Although Borderlands is not visually amazing per say the style of the game and how it lookde in general was actually new and refreshing to me when I first played it and Borderlands 2 was awesome aswell.

Battlefield 3 takes the cake IMO. Visually appealing, but repetitive and frustrating at times. Sometimes I will play the campaign just to enjoy the graphics but when I play online it isn't very fun. There is always a meta game and it changes every day it seems. But hey, that's just my two cents.
