Retro Remakes: Monkey Island in Crysis
Both Telltale and LucasArts have done their own part to revive the latter's seminal adventure Monkey Island for a now-gen audience, but VFX artist Hannes Appell has taken it upon himself to do the same, recreating LeChuck's Revenge's Tri-Island Area in Crysis's Cryengine.
The resulting madness has sunk Appell's site, but check back later for before and after shots of his work. [via .Tiff]

This looks about a thousand times better than Tales of or Escape from Monkey Island. Unlike Mr. Appell, the makers of those two games forgot that the main appeal of the previous Monkey Island games was the ATMOSPHERE!

This makes me wonder why so many games go for unattainable photorealism. Get great art direction and follow it to produce playable cartoons.
