Default Best graphics an AG

I'm looking for something new with first rate graphics. Most AG games just look dated, not that I mind. I'm not a graphics fiend or anything and don't mind playing old games or older looking games, but are there any newer AG games have updated graphics? Maybe something impressive.

Dreamfall has some pretty damn spiffy lookin' graphics, although probably not state of the art to the extreme. You might also be interested in Heavy Rain, which is coming soon to PS3...

I would say that Perry Rhodan: Myth of the Illochim has very good graphics.

I second Dreamfall. And if you get a saved game from someone, I'd say give "The Lost Crown" another try.

The Lost Crown has some pretty ancient graphics. I did like how they used actual photos to create a lot of the backgrounds, but it all still looked dated.

Outcry (aka Sublustrum) has quite impressive graphics, both artistically and in their technical execution.

Also, Casebook has a breakthrough graphics creation technology worth checking out.

Now I have not played this game, but from what I have seen, it´s rather well-looking and I believe it wasn´t mentioned yet - Penumbra.

If action adventures count as "adventures", you have to try Tomb Raider Underworld. The graphics are just amazing, game play is excellent, puzzles are epic and HUUUUUUUGE but not very difficult, and once you get into a temple courtyard running the game on 20'' widescreen like I do, the only thing you can do is gasp and jawdrap

Oh yea... the screenshots you can find on the internet look good, but once you see everything in motion they look just plain boring

Both Penumbra games were first rate. The graphics were good compaired to most AG. I definatly want to get the collection when it comes out.

I played Underworld, and liked it a lot. Though I wouldn't call it an AG game. At least not in the sense I am talking about. But I am a big fan of teh tomb raider games.
