Zelda for me:)

As my name recalls...

Some of the work they put into the items, and enemy's is art if I've ever seen it.

I love the minish cap too, as you can see...

Diablo, by far, has the best attention to detail of many games. From the skull above the wp at Travincal to the skeletons trying to crawl out of the River of Flame. There are so many small, yet, significant attributes to the artwork within the game, it becomes a pleasure just to walk around and see what else can be discovered.

All to often, when playing the game, one is so compelled to just finish the quest or find the cool items that the artwork is frequently overlooked. The character animation is basic, but the detailed artwork makes up for it. The layout team at Blizzard got this one right.

I have too many to list. I've been gaming since I was 2 years old, and have always found that a big charms from games is how they are presented in their artwork.

One that comes to mind is a game I just beat: Assassin's Creed.

A Painting of, what i believe, is Acre in the game. hard ot believe that's a damn painting, and not a photo. (http://www.doupe.cz/Files/Obrazky/art2/e/e3-2006/1105/AssasinsCreed/01.jpg)

Details of Altair's Hidden Blade. Wonderful anatomy knowledge. (http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/64010/assassin3_qjpreviewth.jpg)

There's a few others you can google, but lead to broken links. That might be Ubisoft's fault.

On the more cartoony side, I love the old-school look of video games to most of the new stuff these days. Halo will never hold my interest as long as a good Genesis RPG.

Some of my favorite games, and a sample of their work:

Xenogears (Kunihiko Tanaka):

Elyhaym Van Houten (http://www.rpgamer.com/games/xeno/xg/art/ellie.jpg)

Citan Uzuki (http://www.rpgamer.com/games/xeno/xg/art/****an.jpg)

Legend of Zelda:

Link and Epona, Ocarina-era. (http://www.toysnjoys.com/wallscrolls/p140.jpg)

Young Link and Gananodorf, Ocarina-era. (http://***gamer.net/images/art14.jpg)

Twilight Princess, in-game shot. Really nicely rendered. (http://www.wiiwii.tv/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/zelda.jpg)

Twilight Princess promotional work. (http://www.tranism.com/weblog/images/zelda_tp_manualpage.jpg)

I am waning from lack of sleep. I'll think of more later.

When you say that I think concept art because that's my fav kind. And for the record being a concept artist is what I plan on being someday. So, I'd have to say that I'm completely obsessed with the elder scrolls oblivion concept art.

go to http://www.elderscrolls.com/art/obliv_conceptart.htm to see what I mean

i figured I'd paste some pics about the concept art I like

When CounterStrike Source first come out, the graphics were amazing. Still is i think if you got the rig to run it.
