DRC REVIEW The Art of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

 I love this game, both this one and New Order. The concept art in this book is just about the same as some of the ones you find throughout the game but there is so much more. I love looking at all the concept art at all the time they took to create these places and the minute details of the clutter and the propaganda. Also in this book you can find detailed designs of the enemy robots, machinery and weaponry. My favorite section is the character bios where it gives you a bit more information on each of the major characters. BJ looks pretty good for being in his fifties. I liked all the retro posters. It's amazing how much time they put into this to make the setting and how immersive it can get. 

This a great book for collectors.

ART BOOK REVIEW The Art of Metal Gear Solid V

I Love MGS! Phantom Pain was an absolutely beautiful game, visually. This art book contains concept art, storyboards, and sketches for Phantom Pain, Ground Zeroes, and the unfinished DLC Kingdom of Flies. Each in a section of it's own consisting of location, character, interface and promotional art. The Phantom Pain section also includes weapons, machines, iconography, items and resources.

I loved all the concept art sometimes that art is more like a oil painting. It's interesting to see all the small details that went into the small things like the signs, the miscellaneous stuff you would find around mother base. The weapons chapter was pretty cool (being digital) I could zoom in on them and see all the detail in the wood stocks and the rust and scraps on the guns.  

Overall, This would be a great art book for MGS collectors, I know I want one.
