Preach it, Comm.

I totally agree with those in favor of ICO and it's semi-sequal Wanda and the Colosus. Those people sure know what the hell they're doing. Not only are the games graphically impressive. They know how to make things work in order to get that atmospheric impressiveness.

God of War - Bloody, epic, A.w.e.s.o.m.e.

Beyond Good and Evil - I *heart* Jade. Still very atmospheric. Kinda mature sci-fi cartoon thing. Loved the characters. Loved the plot. Loved the graphics.

(Old school) Xenogears - Still the only game that makes me feel like I'm engrossed in a deep and engaging Anime. No other game has so completely and utterly captured such an atmospheric and... anime-esque feel for me. The music, the characters, the plot, and of course the graphics. 2D anime sprites in a 3D world. Awesome.
