Before we dive head first into the next gen.I thought we would take some time to reflect on those games that still impress you whenever you load them up.In the past week or so i've seen quite a few that have still managed to raise my eyebrow's.I'll kick this off.
Panzer Dragoon Orta: Man oh man,does this still look fantastic.The color's are vibrant and everything seems oh so clear.But it's the art in this game that still manages to floor me.Smilebit at their very best IMO.Take the first stage for example,rain crashing down,streaks of lightning,particle effects up the wazoo,endless enemies coming at you and being able to see the tiny people running around on the ground as you swoop over them.Awesome!
Dead Or Alive 3: Ok while not as visually impressive as DOAU,it still has that team ninja quality and because of this it still retains it's outstanding visuals even after 4 years.It looks better than the majority of recent xbox titles.Great work TN.

Halo: WOW! It's shocking how good this still looks.Extremely solid looking and those lighting effects are still very,very impressive.Mostly evident at the beginning of the silent cartographer.Also i just prefer the physics engine in this compared to the sequel.I really can't decide if this looks better than Halo 2 or not.There's something about halo

Shenmue 1&2: They allways will be fantastic looking IMO.Sure some of the texture is starting to show it's age,but the overall scope still remain's.To this day,they look brilliant.

Soul Calibur: What can you say? Way,way ahead of it's time and still looking good after all these years.Namco delivered big time with this.

Well i'm gonna start digging around my collection to see what other diamonds are around.What games still impress you lot?
