    games based on Valve's game Engine look graphically more polished and have more realistic effects (fog, light diffusing through fog, moving water ..etc). I have personally played quake2, ut2004, CounterStrike, CounterStrike-Source (or CS2). Haven't played doom3 or quake3.

    is it a matter of DirectX vs. OpenGL?

    no troll, just a gamer trying to get my head around the engine technology.
