Game & Strategy Guides

I pre-ordered this weeks before it was released, and it was well worth the wait! The authors know their stuff and communicate it well. Numerous screenshots accompany the excellent chapters on many topics. An excellent companion to Flight...

This guide book is well written at certain points, but terribly hole-filled at others. It's a great walk-through of the straight through and giving you an idea of what to do. However, if you're like me and like to completely dominate the final...

This is what I hate. After I bought the book, I found a really great website that gave me most of the information from the book.I thought "Why didn't I just go on the internet and get a few cheats!",since I only needed it for one part of the game....

Out of all of the great ideas that are in this book, I am going to concentrate on the ones that relate to "what can be done with high-resolution display devices," such as 1200 dpi printers. An increasing amount of contemporary design is done for...

I finished tufte last night... what a disaster, or perhaps sunk with high expectations.

I'm a huge fan of dr. tufte's very influential writing on information visualization - as far as I know he's done the best work in the field. But...

I was going to write a full review but the review above titled 'a disappointment" by Dan Farmer echoed my thoughts exactly. The clincher was when I saw the graphic "guide for visitors to Ise shrine" which was used so effectively in Envisioning...

This guide takes you through the game step-by-step so you don't miss any of the action. It points out all the trinity locations and the dalmation puppies. It also comes with maps of all the worlds so you don't get lost. One of the best features...

This game is too short to require a walkthrough, and besides, if you get stuck you can simply get online help instead of wasting money on this.

Dont get me wrong - This is a good guide. It explains in detail how to complete the game fully. It shows you all the torn page locations, all the summon locations, all the trinities etc.

The flaw in my opinion is the layout - the way the book...

I had high hopes for this book, but it was just disappointing. The only thing I got out of this was that you could fish chests, and I'm new. I'd try and find a different book, and make a test account for the first 5 levels. I learned more that way...

They tried to get as much into this book as possible, but reducing to font to microscopic was not the way to go. And they are still missing some of the maps. No city maps at all. Deadwind Pass is missing. And the maps are still the same as in the...

The description that Amazon is providing lacks detail, so let me please share with you how this book works.

First, there are 5 robot projects that require one (1) NXT robotics kit - preferably the retail kit, but the educational kit...

I wanted a book that would help me to build better machines with my set and this was not it. I sent my book back the next day. If you just want someone to tell you how to make NXT items this is not it. Book was disapointing.

I bought this for my husband...it took him a day or two to get into it, but now he is addicted.

You'd be better off using the internet to figure the game out. The guide feels super cluttered, it's almost hard to read and it doesn't tell you everything at the right time. I think it feels cluttered because there's too many pictures in it....

Final Fantasy XII is an incredible experience. There are tons of secrets and easter eggs to find. I'd love to tell you that this guide will you help you completely master Final Fantasy XII, but that's only half true. While it'll get you through...

In theory, this guide is fantastic. It contains the full detail and intricacy you'd expect for such an immersive and immense game... but unfortunately detail is not everything.

Apparently the editors that approved this product saw no...

The Game Maker's Apprentice has to be one of my most eagerly awaited Computer Book purchases for quite sometime. The fabulous presentation and great use of terminology, really makes it a joy to read. Each chapter guides you through gently, in...

I downloaded Game Maker 7.0 and read its manual prior to purchasing this book.

My hope was that it would fill in the "holes" not explained by the program manual.

First, the good.

The book gives an...
