Games Textures - Im Wondering

How can I extract textures/art files from PC games?

When I say art files, I mean the textures / images that are on different primitives (3D objects) in the game. I would like to have as simple TGA files or something, hmmm, maybe even a jpeg or bitmap. Anyone?

By using a an RGBA texture for the alpha I could do a maximum of 4 at the same time.

Experience enables players to race at increasingly higher levels, while credits can be used to buy cars. The difference between the two is level of detail and the realistic cockpit view. GT5 players can also customise tracks with a new course maker or ride on pre-built courses, like the test track from popular BBC show Top Gear.
