At Tuesday's X04 Canada event, GameSpot caught up with affable industry veteran Peter Moore, VP of sales and marketing for Xbox International at Microsoft.

In between the demos and ice cold sodas, we spent some quality time with one of the Xbox team's most visible boosters.

GameSpot: Peter, let’s put you on the spot out of the gate. What is the best-looking game here at X04?

Peter Moore: C’mon! How can I answer that? [laughs]. OK, I think Forza Motorsport looks spectacular.

GS: Why?

PM: Some of the things the developers are doing with the tracks, the level of detail, mapping down to almost a square foot. We’re really at the stage with the Xbox where developers are getting the most out of the hardware, as you can see here. Obviously, Halo 2 looks spectacular too, but I don’t think it’s the way it looks that people are blown away by. Rather it’s the way it plays. People are also hyped about the way Conker looks because the last time they saw him was on the Nintendo 64. But the best-looking game here is Forza, with Halo 2 not far behind.
