Best games for their visual arts?

[Beth A. Dillon]

I'm seeking opinions in search of the best loved and most influential games for their art styles of all time (not to ignore recent titles though!). Just curious to see what you think as I try to drum up a top ten list. I may need to make it exclusive to certain years since my mind goes all over the place... Not to influence you or anything, but so far my picks are (in no particular order):

Okami
Fallout 3 (From what I’ve seen, mmm.)
Bioshock
God of War
Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee
American McGee's Alice
Half-Life 2
World of Warcraft (for making cartoons)
Halo (landscapes)
Patapon

Grah! I can go on and on, that just scratches the surface...
