Bungie has uploaded a bumload of new assets for Halo: Reach, including screenshots, concept art, character bios, and the likes. Some of the images are ones we've already seen thanks to a leak, but now they're official, which means they're somehow better. There's also some cool new concept art.

Head on over to the Halo: Reach project page for all the juicy bits and such.

NinjaBee sent out the third installment of concept art for its unannounced XBLA game that will feature playable Avatars, this time featuring a frog and a robot. Check both images out after the break, and if you missed last week's installment, click here.

"This is an example of my level thumbnail process I used for Merc's Inc," wrote Ianiro. "The look of the game was 'very realistic.' I was asked to come up with Level Ideas. These take me about two to three hours to complete. They are just trying to get across what that level would look and feel like."

We received some concept art for NinjaBee's new game that will include playable Xbox Live Avatars. The full announcement of the game will be "at the end of the month." In the meantime, take a look at the "surfer" and the "witch" after the break.

Game Informer accidentally leaked a piece of Halo: Reach background art with a placeholder article dated for January 9th. It was quickly removed from the website, but the artwork is still available for viewing (see above -- click for full size). It's pretty likely that Reach will be featured on the next cover of the magazine.

We got hold of some new concept art for God of War III, and it sure looks perty. Check 'em all out after the jump, and don't forget to click on them for the full sizes!

Some sweet new concept art for God of War III was revealed today, as well as a new wallpaper. Check out the rest after the break.

Today we got a new piece of Mass Effect 2 artwork from BioWare. The developer wrote on its Twitter, "Renowned artist, Craig Mullins has put together this very cool piece for Mass Effect 2."

Cool indeed. The piece depicts our beloved Commander Shepard and his good friends Thane and Miranda fending of one of the game's new enemies, the Vorcha. Clicky, clicky for the full 1920x1200 wallpaper.

Project V-13 Concept Art

Interplay, developer of games such as Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics, has released to the public its latest in a long string of concept art for their ongoing project, Project V-13, the unannounced Fallout MMO. The newest addition to the bunch is called "Frozen Shipyard" and depicts an icy scene of maritime carnage, reminiscent of the ending of Titanic.  As usual, Interplay gives no background information or explanation as to why any of this happened, and still leaves viewers of the art thinking "What happened here?" Concept artist Serg Souleiman included this along with the picture in the Interplay forums.

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to clarify the purpose of these exploratory concept art pieces that I been posting.
They were really early pre-production images that we were exploring with Jason Anderson at the beginning of the project.

The purpose of images is to "explore" ideas, settings, color, mood, environments and to see how far we can push them visually. Some may be way out of the realm of possibilities, others have elements that will be used and/or expanded on.

These images also help the designers like Chris Taylor to fuel design ideas and stories.

These images are not the actually in game art, or anything in that nature. They were randomly selected to show the fans and see what the reaction would be.
I feel it’s a good way of keeping in touch with the fans. It's great to read your “constructive reasoning" and input on these images.

There are many more images that we have that you will one day get to see.

On a final note;
Think of the concepts as notes, or drafts before one was to write a book. Not all of these note or ideas end up in the final book but they do serve a purpose.

Thank you all for all the feedback..

After seeing the cover of the next Game Informer today, some more art for Dead Space 2 was found online from the magazine. The image, seen above, doesn't show too much other than a vast, rocky planet being mined with a Marker next to a big canyon. What, you forgot? Isaac was an engineer working on a mining ship before all hell broke loose.
