If you take a look at the way Artificial Intelligence has developed in gaming over the past few years you actually see a trend towards it becoming more realistic, of course it's still quite a way off but they are making progress. Look at the jump from something like Goldeneye to FEAR. The 'AI' within Goldeneye was good for the time but it was just on a set path, run out, find cover, pop up from cover, shoot, pop back down. FEAR introduced the idea of having the enemy NPCs feel threatened, they'd sense when near a grenade or when the crosshair was on them and react differently. You also have AI working in teams to outflank a lone player character in games now and showing signs of more 'intelligence' Of course its not fully realistic to a human standard nor will it be for a long time but as said there is the desire there to make it more realistic.

Your puny studies cannot match the knowledge of a guy who writes fanfic based on fighting games!
