This series of videos explores just the landscapes of well know videogames blockbusters, removing them from their original game purpose.

I wonder how cool it would be if videogames allowed us to explore this scenarios without having to game. Just like some old console games have a "jukebox" menu to listen to the soundtrack.

Makes me remember a post by Michaël Samyn in the notgames blog.
