Best high-def demos in video games

Which video games are the best for demonstrating your high-def setup? High Def Digest answers that question with its list of the top five PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video games whose high-def audio and video look great, as selected by contributor Wayne Santos. It’s an interesting list, albeit with a few quibbles. The Xbox 360 gets priority, but the PS3 should have, because its built-in Blu-ray capability makes it more likely to be part of a home-theater setup. Also, there are only two current games for each console — Heavenly Sword and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune for the PS3, Gears of War and Bioshock for the Xbox 360 — with three spots dedicated to games not yet released. The list should have been all current games, with a note about interesting upcoming titles. And Resistance: Fall of Man, the PS3 launch title that out-Haloed Halo, is a glaring omission.
Speaking of the PS3, the latest firmware update that adds true high-def audio, which I mentioned last week, is now live. Just click on System Update under settings, and you’ll be good to go after the pain-free installation process.
