I'm curious what your favorite games are, visually, @sillysaurus3?

I've been considering an answer to your question for the past couple of days. As cheesy as it sounds, I suppose my favorite isn't necessarily a game, but a video:

This was what I grew up with, and what helped inspire me to pursue graphics programming. I used to watch it on loop dozens of times, being amazed at how graphics got better with each game.

That was back in the day when you had to download codecs for DivX, and find these videos on Kazaa... Ah, memories. :)

A couple of mine are Far Cry 2 and [Elite: Dangerous][1] Horizons. I also love the sound in both of these which is to me a seemingly inseparable element to great screen work.

Good choices. Absolutely agreed re: sound. Sound and animation are both vital (but often overlooked) elements of a good story, with all the focus on graphics nowadays.
