Rolando 2's world is without blemish. Every cloud, tree and roly-poly blob of a character is piped in perfect Pantone, as if someone took away all of Jackson Pollock's flick brushes and instead made him squeeze paint like icing in steady dollops onto the page.

Almost two years on I still have a special, warm place in my heart for Assassin's Creed. The open world it created may well be savagely short on gameplay variety, but the graphical realisation of the environments, and the interactive possibilities offered, proved to be absolutely irresistible. Going back to the game, its flaws become even more apparent: over and above the lack of mission content, the dialogue is over-long, poorly delivered and frankly boring, and the first 10 minutes are almost unimaginably, off-puttingly dull.

And so we return to the Crysis Grail Quest. For those who don't know, the aim is simple: to get the most technologically taxing video game ever made running at 1080p at a sustained 60 frames per second... on the highest settings possible. The rules of the game: one CPU, one graphics card, v-sync enabled, every setting at max, DX9 or DX10 both fair game though the emphasis is on the former. The point? To celebrate a technical milestone where gaming hardware has finally caught up with the most graphically ambitious game money can buy.
