From the publisher:

The Art of the Game series continues with another gaming epic in God of War III. Ballistic Publishing has partnered with Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC and Santa Monica Studio to produce The Art of God of War III. The 272-page book takes you behind the scenes on a visual history tour of the revenge-epic, and for the first time shows you more than 100 pieces of art that didn't appear in the game—The Lost Art of God of War III. From concept art, to character studies, environment art, character modeling, and production art, The Art of God of War III shows you how the Santa Monica Studio team supersized the final installment of the God of War trilogy.

The ‘Lost Art' of God of War III: The Art of God of War III showcases not only the amazing art that helped to create the game, but also the art that didn't appear in the final game. Over 100 pieces of ‘Lost Art' are featured in the book from character and environment concepts right through to modeled characters and environments. Each piece of lost art is labeled with a Ω symbol throughout the book.

The talent assembled for the creation of God of War III was nothing short of awe-inspiring. As you flip through each page of The Art of God of War III, you'll be mesmerized by beauty and then revolted by the wretchedness of characters and monsters designed to shock and awe you at every turn. You won't see art presented this well in any other book, or at this size—a massive 272-pages!
