Wipeout HD PSN

Wipeout is visually unique amongst racing games. Its gaming kudos enables it to draw on the top graphic designers from both the gaming and print industry. Wipeout HD on PS3 is simply stunning to look at. Although sticking to the tried and tested Blade Runner aesthetic, the sheer pace of the action coupled with an impressive replay and photo mode make this the best looking future racing game around.

Prince of Persia 360

What kept me hooked was the story. I felt like I was playing a myth, that I was part of its world and I found myself completely gripped by the experiences of the Prince and Elika. In fact I found the story becoming very familiar the more I played and it struck me how similar it was to an Aladdin retelling. Being such a fan of this type of myth I couldn't help but make comparisons as I went through the game.

Resident Evil 5 PS3

When Capcom released the original Resident Evil it captivated me. Each subsequent game in the franchise has had me looking for that magic of the first game. Yet with every release, the series has moved ever further from the original, so that by the time I played Resident Evil 5 I had to face the fact that this is not the same game I fell in love with.

Flower PS3

I never thought such a small game could make me feel so many emotions in such a small space of time. Flower is meditative and relaxing, but also uncomfortable and exhilarating in those last few sections. I felt surprisingly protective over the beautiful early world - particularly when it changes later with decay and darkness - the feeling of anger I experienced over what happens was close to shocking.

Street Fighter IV PS3

Right from the awesome intro sequences I was entranced by the rich and stylish artwork that wraps the game. While for some the muscle-frenzied appearance of the game's characters might take some getting used to, for me all the visuals hit the spot. Not only are the characters beautifully rendered and superbly animated, but the backdrops are fantastic too - my favourite being the simply beautiful Drive-in Diner stage.

Art is Work

Like any art, a huge amount of work goes into creating a game. And much more than depending on a spark of inspiration or genius, it is the effort of these teams that creates the remarkable experience that move us.

Game Tattoos I Love

Tattoos, like video games, sometimes struggle to be seen as art. The fact that people get tattoos all over the world is a testament to the power of the imagination. No matter why you get one, it is always an intriguing and important statement.

Art is Everywhere in Games

Art in any form is a wonderful thing. But there is one type of art that is more common than others. Modern art is basically the art that we see today, opposed to the art of ancient civilizations such as Greece, Rome, or Egypt. Though some of these styles of art are very common in some places nowadays they are not modern. Below you will find great examples of games that have modern art in them.

Misguided Cover Art

There is a great deal of games in the world on a variety of platforms that people enjoy playing. People play them for many different reasons, but, a great deal of people start playing them because of the awesome covers. There is a slight problem though, when people decide to get overly creative with the cover art on a game. The following will expose you to some video game covers that probably never should have been allowed to market - or at least changed a bit!

Art is Everywhere

There is a great deal of art that is found in video games that we play today. No matter what the type of art is, the thing that they all have in common is the fact that hundreds and thousands of people see them on a daily basis. The art can be in the style of music, drawings, or perhaps the fantastic video that people seem to be drawn to on some games. There are many different games out there that have good art; here are a dozen that will always be popular.
