Best Graphics Winner 2013
You can take one look at any cut scene featuring Willem Dafoe and Ellen Page, and see why this game is a no brainer for best graphics. The VO of the entire cast was great, but the motion capture techniques used to pick up the nuisances of the actors performances truly highlight the graphical achievements that Beyond has pulled off. As far as A+ character animation goes, this game is the new benchmark for sure.

Runner-Up
Ryse: Son of Rome
Ryse: Son of Rome is one of the first games to prove just how awesome things will look in the next-gen. Ryse packs so much to look at into a single screen, it’s hard to take it all in. The stunning visuals, smooth animations during combat and the gorgeous environments showcase the power and possibilities of what we can expect in the future. In stunning HD, this is like playing the Blu-ray edition of 300 with your Xbox One controller.
