Eboy

Summary: look at all the dots!
Review: Pure eye candy. Really its amazing how good eboy is and also the sheer volume of work thats contained in the book. You really get your money's worth, and the pixel images are entertaining and beautiful. You have to ignore the gratuitous, boring photos of their kids and random nothing, under the justification of "backstage".

Here's something really weird: in one of the "backstage" photo montages, there's a picture of one of these guys reading a newspaper on Sept 11, with a headline about the trade center blowing up...he is reclining on a chair with a view of the beach, and his feet on the table like he doesnt care. He almost seems satisfied, its bizarre.

But you can't give it anything but a 5 for pure entertainment and visual excitement.

Summary: Open Minded Designers
Review: This book is very hard core.. an awesome collection of excellent raster pixel graphics, and the occasional vector drawing. It also prominently features imagery for gaming, and there is a subtle flavour of Sept. 11 featuring throughout the book - how game designers used to think in terms of destruction and *** GAME OVER *** Is the game over for gaming after Sept. 11? Great book from a design perspective and highly talented designers eboy are.

-- this book does contain imagery that may upset sensitive viewers. it also contains nudity -- as cute as it may appear it is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN.
