    I have recently upgraded from a fat 32" SD TV to a 46" LED HD TV and am looking at what PS3 games people would recommend renting for the weekend that will showcase my new purchase to my friends. 
     
    I bought Black Ops when I picked the TV up and even though it is not a franchise known for its graphics the difference from my old TV is blowing me away, so the question to you fine folk is.... 
     
    What PS3 games do people think look the prettiest?

    Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet  for me. 
     
    Killzone in particularly has some of the best smoke effects I have ever seen.

    Uncharted 2 is a must. God of War 3 is crazy in HD too. Those two i think are the best looking games on console right now.

    It's a pretty simple game, but I think Split/Second looks amazing

    Uncharted 2 for sure.  Also, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time looks pretty great.

    I would say that PS3 wipeout game with the fury expansion pack would look amazing.  Also should you care for it, Heavy Rain is also pretty good at setting a dramatic atmosphere with it's looks and in particular, the musical score.  Then of course, GT5 when it feels like coming out.

    God of War 3 is easily one of the best looking games out there, so I'd say that.

    I'm surprised of the lack of snarky PC responses here.
     
    The first time I saw Uncharted 2 on my buddy's 52" TV or "The Compensator" as we like to call it, I was pretty blown away with how gorgeous it was.
     
    Now if only it actually ran in 1080p ;)

     None of the games look good in HD since jaggies and blurry textures can be easily seen.

    Screen lies about how good it looks, when in all honesty it's just a big lie: it's not in 1920x1080, it's in 560p.

    Geometry wars 2 is still probably the best looking HD game of all time. You should play that.

    Uncharted 2, God of War 3, Killzone 2.
    I also think Flower looks really nice on a big screen - it's super relaxing. You can download it on PSN.

    Super Street Fight IV actually looks really nice and crisp when playing on a 1080p screen.
     
    If you like colours in your HD, SSFIV is the way to go.

    Add Wipeout HD to the list and its expansion pack, Fury.  
     
    Only game on this list (besides GT5) that runs at a native 1080p. It may be downloadable but I still think it's one of the best looking games on the system, both technically and artistically (especially if you like Fury's Tron inspired modes).

    Be sure and point your PS3 browser to this website full of test images and explanations on how to use them to get the best picture out of your screen. No matter what you play you'll want to see the full range of colors and shades available.

    2. Uncharted 2 
    3. Killzone 2 (Personal favorite PS3 title, still looks great) 
    4. Ratchet and Clank:ACIT (Highly underrated title, looks fantastic and is in my opinion the Mario of Playstation)

    God of War III, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Gran Turismo 5, and Killzone 2 look amazing when being played on a HDTV.  I just wished that they were all in 1080p HD so that my 37'' VIZIO LCD-HDTV could use it's full potential.

    I know you asked for video game suggestions but if you really want to impress your friends with your new LED tv, buy or rent Planet Earth on Blu Ray. That shit will blow your friends away more than ANY hd video game out now.

    Need for Speed Hot Pursuit has some moments where it looks downright amazing, especially with some of the weather effects.

    basically any game that looked good in SD will look amazing in HD. 
    Batman AA, Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, and god of war III are amazing looking games that will blow you away in HD.
