It's also a handsome enough volume that it makes for a great gift." --Noiseless Chatter "A must have for video game super fans, and anyone searching for a deeper look inside gaming as a whole." --Games Fiends " Game Art offers great ideas, especially if you're planning to join Game Development or even just looking to make innovative creations in your specific game." --Gaming Intel "A collection of fascinating interviews...insight into the modern processes and problems of making games." -- Five Out of Ten Magazine "Beautiful and is perfect for the coffee table or any library for the video game aficionado. . . . a good read, a great gift and a conversation piece among friends who enjoy video games." --Game Industry News

SynopsisGame Art is a collection of breathtaking concept art and behind-the-scenes interviews from videogame developers, including major players like Square Enix, Bioware, and Ubisoft as well as independent but influential studios like Tale of Tales and Compulsion Games. Immerse yourself in fantastic artwork and explore the creative thinking behind over 40 console, mobile, and PC games. A lone independent developer on a tiny budget can create an experience as powerful and compelling as a triple-A blockbuster built by a team of 1,000. But like all works of art, every game begins with a spark of inspiration and a passion to create. Let Game Art take you on a visual journey through these beautiful worlds, as told by the minds that brought them to life.
