I don’t personally play computer games but I enjoy the art and graphics if made well. And one stylistically brilliant one is Counterspy.  With all super realistic style computer games it is refreshing to see such a great solitaire like Counterspy. Someone mentioned that one of the responsible in this game being created worked at Pixar. And that might be it then.

It feels like a great comic and a real movie. It’s beautifully coloured and drawn. If you don’t play the game then you at least like myself can enjoy the art.

I always enjoy seeing who created the art and the game. It is like when I go to an art gallery, museum, magazine or reading a comic – I like to know who made the whole thing.

Fortunately after a little search on the net I found the San Fransisco based company making it: Dynamighty. There you can view more great images from the game and read a little story about the team behind the game: http://www.dynamighty.com/#about

Dynamighty have a Tumblr Blog page with more great images from the game, view it here http://dynamighty.tumblr.com/

On their website they have published a youtube clip of the game, so you can see small clips in motion.

I don’t know what computer gamers in general like about the game, but on today’s morning TV Show SVT Morgon, Sweden’s and Scandinavia’s largest channel. Like the Scandinavian BBC, the computer reviewer who feature on the show regularly reviewing games and talk about the gaming industry in general, Sweden being quite important in itself on that department, he talked positively about the game. And that´s how I came across the game itself. Still havent played the game. I simply don’t play computer games. But I sure love the art and design of the game. So from that point of view I can only recommend the game and hope you who play gets a great experience. If it was a movie I would definitely see it. If it was a comic, I would definitely buy one issue of the book for pure enjoyment and inspiration for my own art as an illustrator and cover artist.
