How good are the site graphics? This grades the quality of the CGI graphics and animation of the games feature on the site..

The quality of the photos and graphics on this site is extremely high.  The whole site has a quality feel about it and has been put together in a very clever manner.

It manages to do what so many others fail to achieve; it gets the balance right between having a minimalistic approach (think clear, uncluttered) yet presents a lot of information in an interesting and colorful way.  Overall the site is fun, functional and easy on the eye.
