Squidward Sword: You kinda have to have a great art style to look nice on the Wii.
Okamiden: Not nearly as great as PS2,s Okami, but still very nice looking for such a low resolution.
Limbo: A lot better than I thought. Excellent use of ambiance.

A ton more I'm missing, too buzzed on painkillers to remember half a shit.

Obviously Skyward Sword

I don't know why it isn't there already, it's graphics are like some of the most artistic and stylish seen in a video game yet.

Never heard of it.

Awards should go to games that people at least have heard of.

That being said, Squidward Sword should get it.

Don't forget Trine 2. It's relatively obscure, but just go look at dem fucking graphics. Shit's breathtaking.

I've seen this comment before...

Addition, while I wouldn't expect El Shaddai to win the award, it should at least be nominated. It's easily the most interesting looking game of the year to me, but this is incredibly subjective. To ignore this game completely from the Best aesthetics award is akin to ignoring Dark Souls from the RPG category.
