No I agree. They look worse than Quake III. Games should be cartoony. Lots of better effects are in those type of games, since you have no expectation of that it should look real. You never hear people saying that Mario doesn't look Mario enough. Wheras, those monsters looked like computer monsters with lots of effects. Graphics haven't improved vastly since the half-life engine. That was a big jump. Halo is a good looking game also, and that plays on a regular tv.
