DVD/CD

Please excuse my ignorance but can someone tell me the difference between DVDrom and CDrom?

Speaking to some bloke in a well known computer game shop, told me most PC games are now DVD based. I asked him, "what the hell does that mean", but he didn't know. I picked up a couple of PC game boxes and sure enough the letters DVD are in the place where CDrom used to be. I have no idea what this is all about. Does it make the game run faster or something? Do I need special hardware to run a DVD game or will it run in my CDrom/ DVD player already built into my computer?
