Is it a hardcover, do you know?

It's a softcover book. Super nice though.

Did anyone get The Art of Blizzard? At $46 it is a little on the more expensive side, so I would like another person's opinion before pulling the trigger.

I have it ordered and I'll be glad to give some quick impressions once I get it. I've debated on canceling it once due to the price but after seeing the video from the release party last week and telling myself it would be hard to find later if I waited and forgot I stuck with it.

Already got Sonic book, Getting Hyrule Historia soon.
Really want that Bayonetta and possibly 5th Cell.
*edit
Just realized they are both Paperback, do not want unless Hardcover

Wow ... a little late for this isn't it? I loved the art direction in the game ... too bad the gameplay and story didn't turn out better near the end. Strange this would be a new release, a Brutal Legend sequel would be cool but I'm 99% sure it won't ever get one.

If memory serves correct, it was originally supposed to be released by Insight Editions back in 09, but the deal fell through. I think it was fully designed, just waiting for a publisher. Nice to see Udon pick it up.

Sweet, got a 10.7lb package of goodness inbound. That's the Blizzard art book and Hyrule Historia. I'm guessing 80% of that is the Blizzard one which just has me even more excited. Tomorrow is going to crawl by at work

i already posted a link to a video flipthrough on pg 4 of this thread.
stop being lazy.

Lol, care to go into a little more detail??

I'm an idiot thought the Blizzard book will only show WOW art but forgot about diablo. Damn sounds tempting now but at $40 I think i'll pass on this one.

awesome thread

I own it. Definitely worth the $46. It's huge. It takes two hands to hold or you have to put it on your lap. It's mostly WoW/Warcraft art, and as a WoW hater, i enjoy it.

It seems to be like 75% WoW art, and the remainder is split between Diablo and starcraft

I think I'm gonna bite on the Blizzard book, but does anyone know why it's under review on Amazon?

My Clamshell Edition of the Dead Space artbook arrived yesterday. It is huge, heavy, and absolutely amazing. Highly recommended for any fellow DS fans. Only 1,000 of these editions were made and it appears you can still order it.

It's typically because they've received complaints of poor packaging during shipping (i.e. damaged books). It'll probably get sorted out in a day or two, though nothing will be done to improve said packaging.
