 The Art of Halo December 31, 2007
This has great artwork from the Halo Game Series. Very crisp and detailed - all on glossy print paper.
A "must have" for a true Halo fan! August 3, 2007

The Art of Halo: Creating a Virtual World; text by Eric S. Trautmann, is a compilation of ideas, art and final products that came out of creators of the best game ever, Halo CE / Halo 2. I, definitely, enjoyed reading it. There is a large number of pictures, drawings and "in game" screen captures. The art, as would true Halo fan know, is outstanding. There were new and interesting facts about making of Halo in this book that made the experience of the game ever more fulfilling. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys video games and graphic arts. There is a lot to cherish in this book. Any true Halo fan must have it. For me, this is a book that lives on a coffee table, always there and never loosing the appeal! Something to go back to time after time! Great value for money!!!
 Better to google for the images June 10, 2007

My advice is for the buyer to look over the actual book before purchasing.
I had expected the book to be filled with awesome illustrations previously exclusive to Bungie employees, but most I had already found through Google. I was disappointed that they fill a good portion with space-filler character templates. The quality of some pictures printed don't match up to the quality of the same images uploaded onto the net by the company.
The writers could of placed some effort in detailing how Bungie created the virtual world, considering how its part of the title... Its not as well written as other reviewers would lead you to believe. I'm not hating, the art work is GREAT. It's just not worth the money as it's currently priced (That's why I gave a rating of three).
I bought this as a gift for a Halo addict, who loved it. A must have for devoted fans, but never buy it for yourself.
The Making of Halo January 5, 2007
This is a great book, that shows and talks about that world of Halo, every guy I know has either played or heard about Halo, it was a must have for a gift, especially since the Halo 3 previews started coming out.
