CGI – is it real?

I play alot of Halo 3 (when I can), this amongst other games are not only good to play – they are good to look at.

Games are becoming monumentally big to make, soon rivalling the film industry for budget and resources. Here are a few screenshots from games that I play which without close inspection look relatively real! Imagine the work that would of gone into this and how it can compare to Pixar’s Toy Story of many years ago!

These images are rendered in realtime within the game, whereas CGI in films can take hours to render individual frames.
