What a terrible example of a website. Someone still stuck in 1995. And I also agree. Topless women make babies cry, and as a result, should be outlawed.
Only thing that uses some kind of lightmap in Cry Engine is the terrain. You can calculate a "sky accessibility texture" for it, which is basically an AO map.
Very cool! I'd say go with CryEngine for a scene with this much lighting. IMO, Cry's renderer is leaps and bounds ahead of UE3 in outdoor lighting conditions.
