'Dragon Age: Inquisition' 20 Minute Live Demo Gameplay
One of the next-gen console games I'm fairly looking forward to is 'Dragon Age: Inquisition'. Here's a 20 minute live demo that was held at PAX Prime a few weeks ago. The gameplay is pre-alpha, but it gives an example of what to expect next year when the game is released on the next-gen consoles. Can't wait!

Opening Cinematic For 'Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII'
This cinematic by the Visual Works studio of Square-Enix, shows the opening introduction sequence to the latest entry in the Final Fantasy series, 'Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII'.
The world of Nova Chrysalia has only 13 days until total annihilation, with the citizens of four distinct regions each experiencing the end of the world in unique ways. In Yusnaan, the setting for this sequence, the inhabitants have a hedonist frame of mind: if the world is going to be destroyed soon then why not go out in style?
Against this background strides Lightning, a legendary warrior on a god-given mission to save the souls of mankind...'Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII' is due for release early next year.

Book Review: 'Star Wars Art: Concept' Artbook
This is the fourth in the series of 'Star Wars Art' books ('Visions', 'Comics' and 'Illustration' being the others) and as with the others, this tome is also worth getting.
With 175 glossy pages packed with beautiful concept art from the likes of Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, Doug Chiang, Ryan Church, Iain McCaig and more, this covers everything from original movies, the prequels, television and video games, including the now cancelled TV show 'Detours' and video game 'Star Wars 1313'.
Starting with introductions from Joe Johnston, Ryan Church and Doug Chiang, what you get is page after page of full colour plates of paintings, plus sketches, and digital art, showcasing the creature designs, to the vehicles and beautiful vistas from the iconic saga. To be honest, it's probably nothing you haven't seen before, but it's good to see it all collected into one nice hardback volume.
If you enjoy flicking through the pages of movie art books and love the Star Wars saga, then I would recommend this book.

Cool Art: 'Forest Healer' by Mia Araujo
'Forest Healer' by Mia Araujo.
"I wanted to create a piece that would depict the forest as a place to heal from all the exhaustion, stress, and invisible wounds that each of us carry in our daily lives. I was inspired by Alphonse Mucha’s use of fabric and the intent gazes of his women, and by the healing power of the deer-god in Princess Mononoke. I had been listening to an audiobook version of Timothy Egan’s book about the worst wildfire in US history, ‘The Big Burn.’ So I imagined that all of the animals, forest spirits, and mythical characters that lived there would need a place of sanctuary after the horrors of a wildfire.." - Mia AraujoThis is a 15″ x 22″ signed and numbered giclee printed on Archival Pigment Print on 300gsm Fine Art Paper. The standard edition is in a limited edition of 25, and costs $50 and a hand embellished version, also limited 25 copies, costs $100. You can also add $125 if you'd like it framed.
