There was a time when I wrote an article about how previous multiplatform engines like the Unreal Engine 3 (lots of Xbox360 exclusives also used the same engine) didn't do the Xbox360 justice. Also, in the same article I said that upcoming games and upcoming engines are going to change this situation and you are going to see so much better looking games on Xbox360 than what we used to see from before. Guess what? I was 100% right and to prove that, I will present to you five games that show that the Xbox360 isn't maxed out like many gamers claimed. Yes, I know that Gears of War 3 uses a highly modified Unreal Engine 3 and it looks stunning and Halo: Reach looks outstanding, but the most impressive looking games at E3 2010 in my opinion were multiplatform games. Keep in mind that these games are using new engines for the first time. So without further ado I present to you five games that show that the Xbox360 is still a monster machine:  
1. Castlevania: Lord of shadow:  
 
 
 
I'm a huge fan of the castlevania franchise and I was a bit worried about this game before E3, but after I saw some gameplay footage from the game, all of my worries vanished. Lord of Shadow is shaping up to be one of the best looking games of this generation. The transition between cut scenes and gameplay is so seamless, the lightning and the visuals overall looks stunning, the character models are absolutely some of the best I have ever seen (the best looking werewolves I have ever seen in my life), and the animation is top notch.  
2. Metal Gear Solid: Rising:  
 
 
 
While this trailer doesn't show a lot of gameplay segments, it absolutely shows that Kojima Production is one of the most talented developers in the industry. I don't know if they are using a highly modified version of the MGS4 engine or a wholly new engine, but what I'm certain of is Rising is going to be technologically superior game than MGS4.  
3. Crysis 2:  
 
 
 
The devs of Crysis 2 are saying that this game is going to be the best looking FPS in the market. While this is debatable, you can't argue with the fact that Crysis 2 is a technical showpiece. Crysis 2 has great looking textures, amazing physics engine and destructibility, spectacular visual effects, and it will support 3D on all platforms.  
4. Enslaved:  
 
 
 
Enslaved looks stunning. It's one of my most anticipated games of 2010. This game has a very good chance of reaching the same visual fidelity of the great looking PS3 exclusive Uncharted 2. The artistic design of this game is mesmerizing, the animation of the characters is top notch. Everything in this game looks fantastic.  
5. Rage:  
 
 
 
Rage is possibly is the best looking game of E3 2010. You have to see the game in motion to understand what I'm talking about. If you have seen the footage above, you are going to notice that Rage was running on Xbox360 not on PC at 60FPS. WOW.
