"Totally breath-taking." - io9 "This is a book that deserves huge recognition. Not only is the subject matter one of the most important gaming franchises to ever hit our machines, it also has life, colour and soul bouncing from every page combined with words from people that have lived and breathed Halo. It's a book that could grace any shelf or coffee table and become a talking point. In fact it's worth buying a coffee table just for this book." - This Is Xbox "Halo: The Art of Building Worlds is simply magnificent in production and content. Even this reviewer, who is not a fan of the series, cannot help but be blown away by the sheer beauty of this book." - Square Go "A compelling visual tour of this extraordinary universe." - School Library Journal "Simply put, this book is a must have for every Halo fan." - The Daily Blam "...a breathtaking window into the creation of one of gaming's most imaginative universes.
