Best Graphics (Technical) on GameCube
 
 
Game graphics continue to improve drastically every year. As the most immediately noticeable element in any game, graphics remain and will always be extremely important to your gaming experience. Besides the artists who design the actual look of each game, programmers are charged with the highly competitive responsibility of creating increasingly impressive 3D graphics engines to bring their games to life. Here is the winner of Best Graphics (Technical) on GameCube:

Metroid Prime

 
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Retro Studios

Usually we can look at a game and know whether it's more technically impressive or more artistically impressive. But this year's winner for Best Graphics (Technical) on GameCube did the near-impossible task of merging the game's artistic elements with its technology to bring you a gorgeous gameworld that's so subtly designed that it at times makes you forget that it's part of a video game. You're never taken out of the experience of the game's huge, seamless world due to how Metroid Prime masterfully hides its loading times. Other graphical effects are used to impressive results but are still subtle enough that they're almost difficult to notice. It's true that Metroid Prime is an artful game, but beyond that, it's really an amazing technical feat.

Other Nominees:

 
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 0
Star Fox Adventures
