Which graphical effect will be crowned the worst in games? It's down to the final two, and no one—no one—could've guessed the two effects that made it into the final round. It's a huge surprise.

This vote could go either way (lol). Get your votes in to decide once and for all which effect should be banished from games forever.

We'll find out the winner (loser) later this week. Then we can finally put this debate to rest forever.

Examples

Motion blur
