Meh, I wouldn't really agree with RE4 being comparable to HL2. It's definately behind it, just not that far.
The problem, in my opinion, with the majority (read: not all) of PC games is that they look technically superior, but far less pleasing to the eye. For all the high-end advanced techniques employed by the latest games, there's nothing that can compare to decent art direction. Which the best looking games on every platform have in spades. Examples, MGS3 on PS2. RE4 on GC. HL2 on PC. I think all of these games are extremely beautiful.
