 So this CRAP* poll is ever-so-slightly less random and pointless this
time. I mean, not /much/ less; it's just enough less CRAP that I'm not
going to be giving you the usual silly options. Yup, this time you
can't just pick from A, B or C; you gotta WRITE out your response. You
might even have to think about it first!
  (Obviously, I expect many fewer responses this time** ;-)
  Anyway, here's the question for this month's poll. It's about tech in
video games. Specifically:
 Does the technology in games impress you anymore?
 And by 'tech', I mean anything from graphics, physics, world-size, AI;
stuff like that. The underlying software and hardware that powers our
games. When you load up a new game, is any of that still making you
go, 'Wow! I didn't know PCs could do that" or "Hey, that's really
neat"? If so, which games? If not, can you remember the last time that
happened?
I've been asking myself the same thing quite a bit lately.  However, I do have an example that impressed me.  Recently Ubisoft remastered and re-released Heroes of Might and Magic III.  It's one of my favorite games and only recently did developers begin taking remastering seriously.  That's not what impressed me.  I switched over from that to Heroes of Might and Magic V and took a good look at the game.  The graphics are beautiful.  The music is high quality too.  No longer taking Heroes V for granted.  Set the camera to classic view and pincushion the enemy as Marksmen...
What I think is missing from games today is the cartoon feel.  All those high resolution monsters with fuzzy and often erroneous graphics. They're rough like a hooker without makeup.  Not my cup of tea.  They seem cultish and anathemic.
