The ever controversially challenging Bob Jones brings us No Punches Pulled – OUT NOW!

Each week Bob Jones reaches from the pages of the NZ Herald to deliver an upper cut to the foibles, foolishness and outright fatuousness of contemporary life. In this unexpurgated collection of the best of his columns he lines up the pious, the pitiful and the politically correct – and never pulls his punches. This is Sir Bob at his most honest and hilarious.

Praise the sun with the amazing Dark Souls: Design Works art book!

Games Books

Add a comment By Michael

The beautiful Dark Souls: Design Works has finally made the leap from the Japanese original to a faithfully translated English version. Fans of From Software's cri­tically revered Souls games know only too well the sheer depth and originality of design on display in Dark Souls. There are some HUGE Dark Souls fiends here at Mighty Ape, and they consider this book mandatory for any true Dark Souls fans!

Design Works offers an awesome inside look at the creative process for realizing perhaps the most punishing and rewarding world in modern games. There is also an extensive interview with Hidetaka Miyazaki and many of the game’s artists, which provides some fantastic insight to the design process.

The book features early concept art of many locations, weapons, enemies and characters, including fan favourites such as Solaire, Crossbreed Pricilla, Ornstein and Smough and many more! The incredible artwork on display here should be the perfect thing to carry you over until Dark Souls II sneaks up to backstab us in March!

Be sure to check back with us soon to see what one of our lucky apes has to report about his recent trip to Tokyo's Dark Souls Cafe!
