But with sci-fi/fantasy/unreal themes, the escapism is so much stronger, it's so much more detached from the mundane reality that games provide a fun counterpoint too, there's so many more themes to explore.
And on the subject of doing any old weirdo shit in an unreal game and getting away with it simply because it doesn't have to be realistic, there was a great quote from an interview with Clive Barker (about Undying), when he highlighted the importance of making fantasy worlds convincing and logical, no matter how weird they are. The idea being that such worlds have their own rules of coherency, their own internal logic, so that whatever happens makes sense and fits naturally *within that setting*, even if that setting is utterly different to reality.
Sorry that this post is poorly written, the ideas aren't coming out how I hoped...

The enviroment is stale and lifeless lighting is awful. I know right now the technology isnt in place for games to do dynamic real time lighting, but there is a difference between making the best of what you've got and not bothering. Weapon models are beautiful, very detailed. Enemies are not bad, nicley skinned but all identical : /

Not to be picky, but I hope they change that weapon on the ground so it looks like its laying down on the ground.
