The Scene in Gears of War, in the first level, when the camera breaks away from your character, and it pans around to the big Greek-like structure (with the columns) don't know why, but it was really cool...
Bioshock - In the first level just after you have crashed the plane and landed in the water, the water effects are amazing. As you struggle to approuch the surface, as the plane whizzes past you, you can see the fire effect on top of the water. After reaching the surface I actually sat an admired the graphics for amount. The fire on the water actually looked like real fire, as did the water itself.
GTA IV - If you get in a helicopter and fly really high over a busy road you can see small lights resembleing the cars instead of detailed images, like in most games... This looks very realalistic and really gives you te impression of a huge open enviroment.
Also if at night time you go to one of the majour birdges, looking at the lights on the bridge, aswell as the bridge reflecting on the water is also quite nice. Several times I mistook this for TV instead of a game on the Xbox 360.

What is it with bad guys and their magnetic attraction to explosive barrels? But I love 'em for it.Jamash said:
The final blow against a difficult boss and then they writhe in a groaning cutscened heap going "argghhh-ooorgghhhhh".
... i'm going to go with the "death of aries" in FFVII... that scene still haunts me, after all these years...
Super Gravity Gun in the end of HL2,when you pick people up with it they have seizures!. I sometimes play that level over just to shoot Combine with lightning. SEIZURES!
Actually, i just think HL2 is beautiful in general. It really is a great looking game..

in battlefield 2142 when you're up against about 20 guys and a tank and a friendly walker comes and helps you...just beautifal...(and getting someones dogtags)
Every other moment in Hal Life 2
the ending to Turok evolution...why? Because it ended
A good portion of Daxter is very aestheticaly pleasing especially for a psp game

I did! I think the reason it's not showing up so often is because it's environments are more aimed at realism than stylized beauty (like the forest sections of HL2: E2. Seriously great looking game thoughMoon-Goose said:

Personally it was any moment in oblivion. But particularily the
awesome dragon demon battle at the end of the main quest.
But also the final moments with the boss in metal gear solid 3. I literally cried.
And in the graveyard with Old Snake in MGS4.
And when you submit to the torture and come across meryl's bloodstains on the concrete.
For me it would be these:
-The-tanker-leaving-port cutscene in Fallout 2
-Another World in general
-The sight of a helicopter and fellow marines evacuating in HL:OpFor, which then turns to horror as the G-Man slams the door in your face
-The final cutscene in Diablo:LOD is quite pretty

lots of parts in alone in the dark are particularly beautiful. I personally liked the part where you had to drive away from the destruction of the road whilst avoiding cars is simply amazing me and my friend were like WOW this is so cool.
