The competition between gaming companies keeps them on the edge of Computer graphics development. The holy grail for them is of course to render live computer graphics that looks real.
The pictures below from Infinity Labs show a real scenario photo and it's computer generated equivalent from Cry Engine 2. Cry Engine 2 is the next generation grapics engine made by Ubisoft, the company behind FarCry and many other hits.
We numbered the photos and leave it to you to guess which one is the real one and which is the computer generated one. Answers at the bottom.

I wonder ... when game developers finally achieve photorealism in a three dimensional game ... are they just going to have a big party or something? It's been such an ardent goal for so long. Maybe once they achieve that, they'll start worrying about the storylines.
