With the new edition of High Definition consoles now in stores and selling rapidly like wild fire, the world of video gaming in of itself, is quickly changing. Not long ago you loomed around lazily playing games with a quality so cringing, you literally wanted to rip your eyes out right then and there. But with the new release of all these astounding consoles such as The Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3, the world of gaming has been brightened up and much, much more energizing.
But now, we will be providing you with a look at five games for the 2 High Definition consoles, The Xbox 360, and The Sony Playstation 3. A little insider's look in a way, a demo of sorts. Even as amazing as the graphics are for these 5 games, The High Definition quality of the consoles bring the games almost to life, in a way. These High Definition features brings a wow to your room, or living room, or wherever. There are 2 games per console and 3 scheduled for release in the near future, enjoy.
The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 have brought HD gaming into the mainstream. After years of High-Def in the living room being a hazy concept that really only affected A/V aficionados, the more technologically inclined, and the affluent, these videogame machines have made HD Gaming as simple and affordable as plug n play. But as with any consumer device, the hardware, for all its potential, is just that untapped potential. What really brings out the true worth of the machine is the software that goes into it, and how it utilizes the power built into its system architecture.
Thats where this article comes in. Most people who have a High-Def set-up in their homes arent afraid to show off what their systems can do. The same applies to HD consoles that may be integrated into these set-ups. When it comes to having the friends over, or just trying to demonstrate the virtues of HD to the uninitiated, its usually pretty easy to give a taste of the best HD movies have to offer. A recent special-effects laden summer blockbuster is an easy sampler of what High-Def can do, but here were going to look at games. Movies on Blu-Ray are almost uniformly a 1080p transfer with variances in individual quality due to the transfer of the source material to disc. Games, however, can run the gamut from near HD such as Halo 3s upscaled 640p to the full 1080p of Virtua Tennis, and just because a game runs at a particular resolution does not guarantee an equivalent jump in image fidelity due to issues like frame-rates and other graphical glitches/inefficiencies based on the way the game was coded.
I will be providing you with a look at five games for the two HD consoles -- all exclusives -- that can act as demo material for your respective console. The actual quality of the game itself isnt as relevant here as the fidelity of the graphics, though mention will be made of the titles overall value. The main focus is on the wow factor that greets your friends and guests when you fire up one of these games and show them how much gaming has progressed from the days of the Super Nintendo or the original Playstation. For each console, well be looking at two games that are currently available and three that are in the scheduled for future release.

That said, 3 of the 4 games (Heavenly Sword which I thought was average is excluded) are pretty impressive gameplay-wise.
@Zeon - Hey, once they get into the swing of things, graphics-wise, they'll be more focused on Gameplay. Graphics have always impacted gameplay somewhat. There is competition to have the best looking game. Naturaly, playability is a major issue. So long as th game doesn't suck, gameplay wise, the game will sell. Inversely, if a game had good gameplay, but piss-poor graphics, it probably wouldn't sell as well.
Once 'awesome HD graphics' become the norm, then you'll see more competition based on who has the best gameplay.
edit: wtf. I posted this in response to Zeon I.
