5.0 out of 5 stars Videogames as art, 26 Sep 2001
By Rusty (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Re:Play: The Ultimate Games Graphics (Paperback)
It's good to see a book taking a serious look at videogame graphics without falling into the trap of immediately praising hi-res images with detailed effects. This is about the milestones of graphics and the beauty they can contain.

The editorial introducing each section is generally well written and the pages of images are laid out brilliantly.

Highlights include the full level displays of various games including (Super Mario World and Sonic 3), battlezone & astroids images, and finally, the double page spread of wire frame characters from Virtua Fighter in various fighting poses. Pure class.

For people who are into games this is a definate five star book. But the best thing with this book is that it can appeal to anyone who appreciates good design and graphics. If you don't like games it's probably still worth four stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for game -heads, 14 Mar 2000
This review is from: Re:Play: The Ultimate Games Graphics (Paperback)
Thoughtfully put together book on game designs, with a little bit of history thrown in. I bought it as a sourcebook for game interface design - and as such it serves its purpose.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for those who take their games seriously!, 14 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Re:Play: The Ultimate Games Graphics (Paperback)
This book is more than a collection of classy game images - it validates the computer entertainment industry as a whole. When you're confronted with the array of imagery in Liz Faber's book, you can't argue that games are NOT an art form. Any aspiring video game designer, programmer or aficionado should at least check this title out (and Amazon sell it cheaper than anyone else)...
