Zelda: Wind Waker.
The most-posted picture from this game gets another post.
Firstly, this game is very underplayed. The graphics were a turn-off for most of the people who chose not to play this game, which is a huge disappointment. This is a definite stand-out game in the Zelda franchise, and I love every minute of it. It does a great job of continuing the universe of Ocarina of Time, something that a lot of Zelda fans drool over.
And you even got to chase pigs around and catch them!
I really liked the art style, though. The cartoon art gave the characters a great range of emotion, which was pretty awesome compared to the basically-still faces of OoT and Majora's Mask. It also gave the game its own identity; it wasn't trying to be OoT. This new world was not Hyrule. No Hyrule Field. No Death Mountain. The overworld was a massive ocean. All of that made the King of Red Lions's (the talking ship) secret even more of a surprise.
Wind Waker still, I think, sets the standard for cel-shading. Part of the reason I'm a fan of the art style is that it's a cure for what I once read as "BROWNANBLOOM," like you see in Gears of War and Call of Duty. I'm not saying it works for every game, but I really liked it in Wind Waker.
Also Killer 7.
Any excuse to post another picture from this game.
