I'm kinda torn on whats more important to me. Yes, of course I would like both to be great but more often then not I find myself noticing that games are really good in one or the other. I would consider myself a graphics whore, games like killzone 2, mgs 4, and GTA are super stunning and make you feel like your in the next generation. but other games like Splosion man, saints row, world of warcraft, and even bioshock have amazing art. The art I feel can send more of a message and impart more of the developer's intentions. I would say that developers need to focus on art first and try their best to make the graphics fit.   I feel that Trine is one of those games that is visually stunning and you can't help but say "wow" but ultimately, the art is very stereotypical (except for the knight) and is a great game because of the mechanics and visuals not the art style. I bring up Trine to make an argument not to discuss it. I personally love it.

Trine is visually stunning and very clever. I never felt that i found something I couldn't beat. Im about 75% through. Its very easy to pick up and play. my only small quip is that the wizard and his labido don't seem to be mentioned at all after the beggining and there would be so many opportunities to use some more humor. This game is such a welcome change from most games being made today.
