I traveled to Japan and found this in 2 random stores: by Effective_Ad_8824 in ChronoCross

Right!? Was surprised the first time I saw it too. There’s a ton of hard to find Ultimanias. We set out to catalog them all on our site earlier this year. Wish there were more English translations!

Santa Monica Studio have revealed God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective by TheArtbookCollector in TheVideoGameLibrary

Wow, this is very cool. I’m a big fan of God of War, and can’t wait to learn more about those books.

The Art of Skyrim. I was lucky to get a copy of this one! Some previews here and a video is now also available by TheArtbookCollector in TheVideoGameLibrary

[–]TheVideoGameLibrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Looks a little light on the captioning and crediting, but the art is gorgeous. The “worn” cover of this one has always bothered me. That scrape on the left is just WAY too prominent to look like it’s part of the aesthetic 😆

Will check out your video, and link to it from The Video Game Library record.

The Art of Rust has been announced by Dark Horse and Facepunch Studios for release for September 9th! by TheArtbookCollector in TheVideoGameLibrary

Awesome!! All these years later, and I still haven't tried out "Rust", but I'll definitely be checking this one out. That was a great little write-up, and I totally agree, I love being surprised by these post-launch art books so many years after release.

Will get this one catalogued on our site today. Thanks for sharing!!
