This is kind of off topic but... I'm looking at these screenshots and realizing how brilliant Blizzard was for choosing a stylized look for WoW. When you are going for realism, it is a fact that you will never achieve your goal, because graphics are not quite there yet. When you go for a stylized look... you are accomplishing exactly what you are intending to. The graphics might look a little 'simple' after a while... but they don't really look bad. They must have consciously made this decision because they knew the game would be around for a while. WoW is a pretty old game... the graphics look a bit dated... but you can't really say they look bad. There is definitely room for more detail, but the overall look still holds up today. I guess the same goes for TF2.
Just a thought. Move along now... nothing to see here... move along...
