There’s the raw number-crunching horsepower of today’s processors that can make anything look photorealistic, but it takes a special eye for design to make it aesthetic and appealing. This category honours the game that had the best art design, Castlevania: Lord of Shadows is an explosion of colour, with its vivid vistas, jungles and ruins. The characters are designed with painstaking attention to detail. You sometimes wish that the game offered free camera movement just so you could stand in one place and gaze in wonder over the landscape. Kojima Productions brings their own special touch of the artistic to this reboot of the classic action platformer.
