Penguin Classic Videogames

Olly Moss is a genius. How good are these?

"Half-life is a game about crowbars and teleporting!"

Spot the Klobb.

A suitably crude 3D Link, with Triforce on his temple

Exclamation marks (and to a lesser extent cigarettes) are important in MGS...

"Topography VS radio VS scary monster static."

These made me think:

a) Perhaps I should play the original Silent Hill.
b) If these came in poster format I'd have no shame putting one on my wall.
c) Are publishers missing a trick by not putting more effort into their "platinum"/bestseller re-releases? Why not have this kind of striking, iconic imagery on games that have already sold well and have a reputation?

In a similar vein, his remakes of classic film posters are also well worth a look.
