 Great for any Halo fan December 29, 2009
Jordan Fobare (Armada, MI USA)
Being a big fan of Halo myself, I got this as a Christmas present and was very amazed from the level of detail the book goes into. Although it being slightly outdated, only talking about Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, This book was definately a great gift.
nice! September 22, 2009

Nice arts from old games May 11, 2009
M. Tvrdý (Ostrava, CZE EU)
Very nice Artbook about classic games. Concept Arts are beautiful. A lot of information about game and it's development.
 Must Have For Halo Fans! November 17, 2008
I recently bought Halo for pc, and I picked up this book along with it. It's filled with weapon designs, enemies, and vehicles. Plus there's a section where it talks about how bungie was developing the idea for the game. If you are fan of Halo, then you would probably like this.
 Some Nice Concept, Too Many In Game Renders November 10, 2008
Elijah Tate
I bought this book so that I could see the process that the concept artists went through to come to their final designs, and while there are some nice examples there are a lot of in game renders that I wish were not present. I already have played the game Bungie, I don't need to be reminded of what it looks like!
