Wow! What a packed HD week it has been, we can't believe how much stuff has happened. Oh, how are we going to fit it all in?

Actually, sod the hyperbole, we are completely lying. High-definition news has been so scarce that all we managed to scrape together can be found in the following 57-word paragraph*.

At least this means you can skip to the fun stuff** quicker. So think of this as a break from the phenomenally educational '7 Days…' you normally expect, a bit like when you were at school and one of your teachers were ill and you had a supply teacher in to take over.

Just let me write the following quick notes on the blackboard of HD, then it is class dismissed and the games can begin.

Blackboard*A new study suggests that hi-def nuts are looking to movie downloads not Blu-ray… Sony adds Wi-Fi to its Blu-ray player range… Disney tries to make the 4:3 aspect ratio look fun on Blu-ray and fails…. New D Box tech is set to make motion sickness an everyday ocurrence in cinemas… Hitachi pleads guilty to LCD price-fixing.

Retro games in HD

retroWith Street Fighter II Turbo Remix HD edition now available to download for both Xbox and PlayStation, TechRadar started to think just what other classic games would look like with an HD sheen.

We're not talking about Pacman here but Nintendo and Sega classics like Mario and Sonic (unlike the rubbish version out at the moment).

A quick search on t'internet and we wondered no more. A fantastic artist by the name of Mikaël Aguirre has created some hi-def works of art seemingly just for kicks. The guy isn't a games designer, just an artist filled with Nineties and Eighties videogame nostalgia. One word: awesome!

Great movies, bad Blu-rays

Total recall- Total Recall

"Baby, you make me wish I had three hands." Ah, the brilliance of Total Recall. Perfect fare for the Governator: bad one-liners, extreme violence and a plot that makes very little sense.

While none of the above ruin the film in the slightest, the Blu-ray release of Paul Verhoeven's Mars odyssey is as grainy a Blu-ray as you will ever see, with no extras to sweeten the bitter pill.

"Baby, you make me wish I had no eyes" more like.

- The Terminator

Another Arnie classic brought to Blu-ray with as much care and dedication as a Paul Scholes tackle.

Again colours are muddy and the lack of decent extras is a travesty, especially as there's mountains of content available from the many versions from the DVD.

No wonder Christian Bale went ballistic on the set of Terminator Salvation – he must have seen the state of this Blu-ray.

- 28 Days Later

It might have been a brave decision for Danny Boyle to shoot this speedy zombie flick on standard-def miniDV, but this means that it makes for a rather rubbish picture on Blu-ray.

Full of the grit and grain you would expect from miniDV, 28 Days Later is a movie that does for hi-def what Jason Orange does for Take That – absolutely nothing!
