cry engine for its graphics and the interativness of the enviroment(u could burn down entire forests in crysis 2, well atleast it is advertised like that)
cryengine2: it's the most realistic, which is more difficult to do in terms of programming, compared to coming up with your own variation of gravity and physics
As engines go, from a technical point of view, the Cryengine 2 has to be the best, it's by far the most advanced engine I've come across (I haven't used the CoD4 engine) but for general accessibility and ease of development the Source engine will be king for a long time to come, in my opinion.
That's not taking the games based on said engines into account, though.
EDIT: Yay, first personal milestone, I'm at 100 posts now, go me!
cmon mate bioshock has visually stunning stills.... but the characters are from toon town ...
& the blood looks like someone had a food fight & all that was on offer was jam!

Art design and engine capabilities are two COMPLETELY different things
Bioshock's characters looked like that for a reason.... Do Mass Effect's characters look cartoony? nope, do Gears of War's characters look cartoony? not a all...
Personally I like the engine used for Metal Gear Solid 3. It doesn't hold a candle to modern engines but I'm not someone that cares much for bleeding edge graphics. I prefer graphics that can max out what an older piece of hardware is capable of.
I'm going to have to say the Source engine. It may not be the most advanced when it comes to bleeding edge graphics, but the way it was designed is sheer brilliance. It was built from the ground up with modularity in mind. This makes it easy to add new components to the engine such as HDR, motion blur, lighting/shadow enhancements, and particles. And it helps keep development costs down because the engine isn't being redone.
When then next set of engines come out and someone makes another poll like this. Source will still be an option because it will have been updated to rival the new engines. That is why it is the best.
Source its just the easiest for beginers and such
