Games do look awesome nowadays. Games like Max Payne 2, Prince of Persia the Sands of Time, Need for Speed Underground, etc. look sometimes better than by best renders. New DirectX 8-9 games use features like bump mapping, advanced pixel shaders, vertex shaders, motion blur, soft shadows, volumetric lights and so on... and the poly count is going up fast. Sometimes I stop to think, "Man, this would take ages to render in Poser", forgetting that my graphics card renders it at 30 - 90 fps.
