@ Garnett: The reason for our disagreement is solely based on our respective interpretations of the word "graphics".
You think graphics are only limited to shadows, lighting, softshadows and textures.
However, there's nothing that ties the word "graphics" down to only those 4 aspects. The definition of "graphics" are very unspecified and broad. Graphics has always been the "visual presentation of what occurs on a medium". Since we are talking about videogames, the visuals are presented on a screen, thus making the image (whether it's in motion or not) on the screen, the definition of graphics.
