In August I got an early chance to play the latest installment of Skylanders on a PlayStation 4. I thought it was just the prettiest thing ever. After reviewing the game on the PS3, I thought I might have just been seeing things. Nope. So much better.
Flower is often cited as an example of how beautiful games can be. Part something about flower petals instead of guns, but it's also to do with how beautifully the environment moved and responded to you. So, as a PS4 launch title, it's a good example of how visuals have improved since Sony's last generation of…
The graphics card marketplace can be quite confusing to the new PC gamer. There are no standardized labels, cards with the same number designation vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, and the internet is filled with people that swear their favorite piece of poly-processing hardware is the best. I've been buying…
Nintendo likes to prioritize their screenshots by what they consider to be the best images to use when discussing their games.
Today's Rockstar released the first images of Max Payne 3 running on PC, and while no exact comparison shots are available, taking a look at similar screens for the console version reveals substantial differences.
The Zelda Vs. Orc image from our calm, rational discussion on the merits of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim triumphantly returns for commenter SageofMusic's explanation of what makes the Zelda title a better game.
Nintendo has a habit of being especially uptight about the press' use of imagery from E3.

So maybe I was a little hard on the loading times for streaming Netflix movies on the Wii yesterday. It could be worse; it could be the same service on a PS3.
Nintendo's DSi XL, due out this Sunday, features a much bigger screen than its predecessor, but does that mean better or worse graphics?

Sonia Im, Square Enix's North American spokeswoman has said the company is investigating a batch of suspicious screenshots purporting to compare Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3 and Xbox 360, yet are apparently the same image with different control overlays.
How does the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 compare to the console versions? I spent some time with the game on the Xbox 360 and Steam to find out.
On Tuesday we posted my review of Dragon Age: Origins for the PlayStation 3. Now I've moved on to the PC version of the game, and the difference is night and day.
You've heard about the difference between the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Bayonetta; now see them for yourself in GameTrailers' side-by-side comparison video.
Eddie Van Halen's performance of "Eruption" is more impressive. That's not the question being asked. But this comparison shows the similarity of the finger work in the tapping sections, which speaks well of the design of Guitar Hero: Van Halen.
