Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag still looks (mostly) beautiful.
Dark Souls. Dark Souls? Dark Souls! Dead End Thrills is still at it, pulling down some dramatic new shots of Dark Souls, looking great on PC. Head over there for more.
If you haven't been keeping up with screenshot superstar Dead End Thrills, head on over and see what's new. He's got some great stuff from Skyrim (like the one up top), as well as some excellent shots that capture the striking look of DMC.

This fresh screenshot the devs at Obsidian released for their upcoming RPG Project Eternity is just too damn awesome. Looks like Planescape: Torment mixed with the first dungeon from Baldur's Gate 2. And that's not a bad thing at all!
