Books: Check 'em out 18 Oct, 2008, 20:47 / 4 comments

When I was your age, we didn't have all these video games that you play on your idiot boxes. Our TV was books - like that awesome LEC art book we reported about, the release of which is imminent.

How imminent? Well, as Sven_Q45 noted on the forums, Amazon.com has it up for pre-order, with a Nov. 26th release date. Seeing as two of the four placeholder cover images feature Guybrush Threepwood and Purple Tentacle, I think it's safe to say that the original titles will not be left out in the cold.

So forget the steep price and the possibility that LEC didn't do everything they could have. This 256 page beauty is a must-buy for any fan of LEC's older games. Go get it, now.

    Those book covers are appalling.

    The Purple Tentacle cover isn't too bad.

    The three-toned cover colors remind me of a country's flag, with Purple Tentacle taking over it as his first step towards taking over the world. :)

    Plus, Purple's made up of simple colors as he's made in a cartoon style, so it doesn't clash with the simple colors of the cover like the 3D characters do.

    God, they really are bad. What the hell were they thinking putting EMI Guybrush on one of them? Why not some of the series' awesome art by Steve Purcell?

    And, though the Purple Tentacle one is definitely the least ugly, the black outlines and vibrant green and purple don't go the best with the pure, somewhat muted color of the (also pretty mediocre) design.

    GREAT WORK
