Alan Wake is probably one of my top 3 games this generation and easily one of the best in terms of story, atmosphere and original setting. I STRONGLY suggest you check out the short promo movie made for Alan Wake called Brightfalls. If you have played and enjoyed Alan Wake it's absolutely stunning, one of the best short movies i've ever seen.

Check it out on Youtube, you won't regret it.

Edit: Just noticed that the quote is a real old one and it more likely that it will be a spinoff than a full fledged sequel.

Metroid Prime won me over in a single graphical moment. Landing on Tallon IV for the first time, looking up to the sky and seeing the raindrops falling down on Samus visor sent chills down my spine. That's also when Metroid Prime won me over after doubting it for so long.

Mirror's Edge is probably the only game that has made my jaw drop in terms of how otherwordly good it looks. Compare shots of Mirror's Edge to almost anything else released this generation and the colour difference is night and day.

And of course I will never forget the distinct graphical style of Donkey Kong Country 2 the beehive, theme park and lava levels simply blew my mind as a kid. And they STILL look amazing.

Other games are Yoshi Island, Half-Life 2, Perfect Dark, Red Alert 2, Starcraft, Banjo & Kazooie, Wind Waker, Super Metroid
