There are lots of things to celebrate in Far Cry 3, Ubisoft's best game since Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but the thing I keep coming back to is Rook Island itself. There's often a lot of unremarkable space in open-world shooters, but this vast, mountainous patch of fictional grass and rock in the middle of the Pacific has been created by people who believe that every inch is important, and who have refused to compromise or sculpt any part of it with less than an artist's attention to detail.

One of the more surprising traits of the current generation of console hardware is that the machines themselves have become definite places. Whether it's Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network, they exist in tangible ways even if there's no game sat in the tray or chattering away on the hard drive. The Xbox 360 is forever shedding its skin in this regard, adding and then cutting social features, moving from those swooshing blades through to Metro - not that it's called Metro anymore - in the space of three Gears of War games. PS3, on the other hand, has stuck with the XMB from the start, opting for cold, sleek, slightly impenetrable style, even if Sony's recently decided to give the shop a bit of a seeing to.

The idea of being a king is endlessly fascinating. What would you do? Who would you kill? And, most importantly, who can you trust?

"What infinite heart's ease," moans Shakespeare's Henry V, "Must kings neglect, that private men enjoy?"

Sony and Microsoft may have turned their backs on older hardware, but Nintendo's approach with Wii U is refreshingly different. While the new console is capable of running current-gen HD titles, its technical underpinnings are designed in order to fully accommodate hardware backwards compatibility with the vintage 2006 Wii. Any and all Wii titles and peripherals run with the new hardware. Sadly though it's not all good news - because in our testing we found a number of display-related issues that may might persuade die-hard purists to keep hold of their existing consoles.
