10 Best Lighting and Particle Effects We Saw In 2011

Gears of War 3

Gears of War 3 has been called many things- best looking game on the Xbox 360, one of the best looking console games of all time, and some times even the console graphics king- and for good reason. It's an absolutely gorgeous game with some of the best designed environments you will ever see and breathtaking lighting effects. The game does show a few rough patches sometimes, with some bland textures there and patchy character models there, but that is not what this article is about, is it? The article is about lighting and particle effects, and Gears of War 3 triumphs in that area.
