Video Game Minimalism
October 2, 2009 26 Comments
Flickr user infinitecontinues, who doubles as an artist at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, felt inspired after viewing a series of movie posters for minimalists and thus found the motivation to create a similar series, this one focused on video games. In his own words, “This is an exploration of how a few key shapes from well-loved characters are instantly recognisable even when reduced to these simple forms.” Out of eleven total, how many of these characters born in the video game universe can you readily identify? And if you get one wrong, don’t fret. We won’t point and laugh at you while your hard-earned gamer cred vanishes right in front of your very eyes. Promise!
These are awesome, would prolly make good iPhone wallpapers aswell.

These are going STRAIGHT to my iPhone as wallpaper. Especially the Kratos one!
OMG HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT WAS KRATOS. I LOVE GOD OF WAR.
I fail.
Awesome stuff! I got ‘em all! :)

Dunno some of them but a few people seem to be having trouble with the last one, I believe that is Ezio Auditore di Firenze or at least something to do with Assasins Creed.
Hah, pretty neat. So simple, but cool.
That’s pretty sweet!
I definitely missed a few, but it’s a really cool idea.
fallout one is the best. Maybe resize them to make them ipod wallpaper compatible?
Fallout one? Are you talking about the black one with the red eyes? That’s from Killzone. It’s a Hellghast. If you click on the pictures, it tells you who they are.
No Sonic? For shame.
Um…pass?
