It's not usually the most exciting of activities, but Catzilla could make anyone enthusiastic about benchmarking.

PC benchmarking can sometimes be a dry and dusty task, waiting for results while graphics and programs populate your screen.

But Michal "Bonzaj" Staniszewski — director of the PlayStation Network game Datura — has come up with something a little more enjoyable: Catzilla.

It's basically a short animation about an rampaging giant cat that will also test your PC's graphic capabilities. It's still in Beta, but you can grab a copy — and some great wallpapers from it — over at AllBenchmark.

Or you can just watch the video below. Warning: contains dubstep.

EDIT: If you like the soundtrack, you can grab it from Subsquare Music by clicking here.
