I would rank this one higher, because Prince of Persia was created on this engine as well, which is the most gorgeus looking and sounding game I've played so far.

And I'd put CryEngine on 1st because Crytek's HQ is only a short train ride away from me. ;p

Source is just a phenomenon in terms how it still can keep up in the right hands - honorary mention for sure.

Be My Head:
Infinity & SCUMM  engines = awesome.

(Yes I know it was about 'this generation')

Also, I don't really pay that much attention to what video game engine a game is using, if it's fun and looks cool then it's good.

Melodic:
No Source? I call BS on this list. Yes, other engines on the list look better, but that's not really important when it comes to building the basic foundation for a solid game. I would have ranked both Unreal 3 and Source much higher on the list because they're amazingly stable, and have the ability to handle almost any project thrown at them, with almost any graphical requirements.

Also Khar, I hope that was a joke.

Spluff:
Source is not this generation - it's old and dated.

est:
Oh, please note that my numbers don't mean anything.  For some reason I wasn't thinking straight when I made the list, I was just using the numbers to get straight which engine I was talking about in reference to their list.

If someone asked me to number them I would reply something along the lines of "for which game/what type of game?"  For example, I would love to see a RAGE engine version of an Elder Scrolls game, (or another open world fantasy RPG, I am not picky) so long as it looked more like Red Dead Redemption than GTA IV.  However, I would also be partial to it being made on the Naughty Dog engine, especially if they wanted to implement the same kind of dialog-heavy scenes as were in Oblivion.  If they backed the camera up a fucking tad so I'm not constantly staring right in the person's face they could really make use of the facial animations and gestures that we see in the Uncharted 2 trailer (although I thought that a few of the body anims there were not quite so impressive as the facial ones)

Oh hey, I just realised something.  The RAGE and Naughty Dog engine games shown are both similar to say, Half Life 2 in my mind due to them being realistic to a point, then sort of filling in the uncanny valley by softening the edges and cartoonifying things just a tad.  I definitely like that.  As much as the CryEngine wows me with realism I appreciate that kind of style a lot more, I think.  That said, I really loved the graphics in FarCry 2, which I am guessing is some variant of the CryEngine.
