The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual Masterpiece

There are many things that set Halo apart from other games and that's the quality of the graphics (let alone the soundtrack and the gameplay). Now Eric Trautman has put together a book that collates some of the fantastic artwork and behind-the-scenes discussions that accompanied the development of the game.

Amazon Description:
A lavish, full-colour collection of the artwork prepared in the course of creating the award-winning and massively successful Xbox video game, Halo. Included are behind-the-scenes secrets, stories and anecdotes recounting the making of the game, concept sketches, characters and environments. The text focuses on the techniques used in the illustrations and the stories of the team that made the game. This is a must for any fan of the Halo world.
