Stalactites hang from the ceiling while stalagmites grow from the floor. Every few months I have to look this up again, because I can never get the distinction fixed in my head - and because games just love stalactites. (Even now, it wouldn't surprise me if I've gotten it wrong.)

Blanchimont is not a corner to be taken lightly; a small kink as it appears on the map of the circuit Spa-Francorchamps, it all gets a little more serious when attacked at fast approaching 200mph. Which made Max Verstappen's overtake around the outside of Felipe Nasr at the high-speed corner at last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix all the more impressive.

It's a difficult question and one that developer The Coalition - along with partner Splash Damage - seeks to answer with the release of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Xbox One.

Re-envisioning such a game on new hardware is no small task - so just how successful is this latest effort?
