Artistic Styles

Cel-Shaded

This style is used to give an effect of a game being sort of like a comic book which in turn makes the entire game look more unrealistic but at the same time keeps to a very realistic storyline. A good example of a cel sheded game is The Walking Dead, this game is very similar to the popular TV show and includeds many things that the TV show has in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58I_ZghcxPk

Photorealistic

This style is used in many games to give the feeling of being right there in the action and to make the person playing Experience a sense of reality. This Style is Best used in Battlefield 3 as it gives you the feeling of beaing in the middle of a warzone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzpISsS6bKg

None Photorealistic

This style is used to give a non realistic effect which is commonly used to give the effect of a cartoon game for example The ledgend of zelda. This gives out an effect of being unrealistic so the player will be able to do things tyhat you probably wouldnt be able to do in a realistic game such as Heavy Rain. 

Abstract

This style is a very different style which is trying to be different from the rest of the styles of games
