I personally view "Good graphics" as graphics that achieve the aesthetic style the creator intended. I'd like to cite in particular the game Runman for my point.
The game is pretty much entirely done in an MS Paint style, but its simplicity, colorful levels, and childlike drawings are what makes it so appealing to look at. A game doesn't have to have artwork by Da Vinci to have good graphics, it just has to have a sort of constant style that stands out as the artistic direction of the game.
