Realistic graphics doesn't really sell to me: Its easy to mocap and scan faces day in and day out. You get great quality graphics sure: but as the article expresses: the work never stands out.
I respect being creative and making interesting art and design styles far more. (Bring back Timesplitters :'[ ) Activate my imagination, rather than the part that checks to see if everything is porportional. Kinda like a mechanically done drawing vs. freehand...
Which is why I am so in love with the mass effect series, amongst other reasons. It's part of the culture for why gaming sucks, but it's not at the same time.
