Giant Robot held their second Game Over art show last week, marking the end of GDC 2009. The Game Over collection showcases videogame art from different artist, all using different mediums. The show this year also had a few indie games on display that were created by various indie developers and artists.
As for the art pieces, this year's collection was a lot better than last years. There was a better turnout and there were some really unique pieces at the show. Most notable were the three unreleased Virtual Boy games that were on display. There were also a few new Atari pillows and this Mario Samurai armor made of fabric.
All of the pieces are on sale but some lucky person already owns all three of the Virtual Boy games now. Pieces run from $50 to as high as $1400. Game Over is located in San Francisco and the show is open until April 15. Check out the Giant Robot site for more pictures of all the art pieces.
Fair warning: there's a really disturbing art piece in the gallery below. Can you guess which one it is?

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.
