I have this Capcom Illustrations book, it's in Japanese but it's worth getting for the artowrk:

I have a lot listed here.

None that you've mentioned specifically, although I do have a Shenmue Project Berkely book thingy. No sketches though, which is what it sounds like you're looking for.

There is an issue of Game Side that does a spread on the whole Akumajo series. Not a lot of sketches, but they have a lot of the game covers in full page (well, it's a small book, but still nice) color, w/ no text on them.

 

I have the Xenogears artbook. It's got some awesome original drawings in it, and a few technical drawings to boot. Lots of cool story information too.

 

Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar
http://www.amazon.com/Half-Life-2-R...r_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239710381&sr=8-16

I have a dozen or so artbooks, and this one is BY FAR the best.

 

Cool sounds like a lot of people have some cool books i have 2 capcom books and i saw there is a cool book called undon crew's art of capcom worth just for the cover alone thanks for the info guys.

 

There is a good Famicom book I like from the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography exhibit, I recommend that if that counts as "art".

 

Fook me, that's a lot of money. I have a copy of this sitting in the cupboard.

 

nope but it sounds good whats in it games and hardware

 

I hear ya, I paid $20 for my copy. Prices aside however, its still the best artbook I have seen.

 

I guess someone out there agrees with you hence the price.

 

It has game cartidges and boxes, interviews and a few in game screens. It's in both Engrish and Japanese.

 

What is the book called and where do we find it?

 

as for ghouls'n ghosts, try to buy that PSone book version of capcom generation 2 [makai to kishi]. you will not just get a nice artbook for all three makaimuras but also the game disc with all 3 makaimuras on it.

 

Thanks for the help sounds cool
