Games are a beautiful mix of art and technology, and developers have been constantly toying with new ideas and techniques that push the envelope of what’s possible with commercially available gaming hardware at any given time. We have been treated to plenty of games that pushed their target systems to the absolute limit, and today we will be looking at 15 such games.

God of War 3 – PS3

The series has always been a pioneer of jaw dropping spectacle and pristine visuals, and the third game was no different. Released back in 2010 for the PS3, it wowed players with its sense of scale that didn’t come at the cost of any compromise to the micro fidelity. The character models and environments were still some of the best on the market, and segments like the boss fight with Cronos were a strong reminder of the sheer graphical prowess of Sony’s PS3. While it wouldn’t obviously hold a candle to current gen graphics, it still holds up reasonably well by modern standards – which is yet another testament to the technical wizardry that Sony Santa Monica did with this release.
