7th gen with great visual aesthetic

7th generation had a lot of questionable choices in how graphic were aproached, for example poor use of bloom, oily texturing of UE3 etc.
So understandably it came to be viewed as had aged poorly. I want to try to highlight games that showcase elements of this era aesthetical trends in a good light.
I'll try to keep list to the 3d games, cuz questionable choices mostly affected how 3d graphics were rendered. And ill probably exclude Wii games, considering gap in the hardware between it and Xbox360/PS3 games on the platform had entirely different trends in how 3d graphics were aproached
