Next to Pandemic this is one of the best Co-op games to play!

The third installment in the Gears of War series was excellent and worth the price, especially if you want good co-op game play.  I'd recommend it for people who want to get their spouse or girlfriend to join in a game, except that she'd have to be willing to put up with a lot of gore.  If she can, then the storyline is excellent!

This is a great book if you want to learn Cocos2d. They really do cover everything very well.

Totally recommended!

I do a co-op class using this text and this accompanying book. I have the CD-rom version of this book, but a member of the co-op provided me with her print version of the Companion Guide. I find it an invaluable resource. It has great crafts and activities, divided by age range for each lesson covered in the book. Some of the crafts use items that I personally didn't have, and some of the crafts are too time-intensive for my tastes, but other crafts are excellent. I try to do a craft with the co-op children every week, and there are sometimes so many crafts to choose from that I have to really concentrate to decide which would be best for my class.

Wonderful resource!

I already owned this, but wanted a second copy so I could play it with my kid brother on our separate screens.

It's strength lies in multiplayer coop.

Single player it's just another game, but multiplayer coop with 3 friends it just awesome.

I recently bought Psychonauts for my aging Xbox.  The game was used but in like new condition, for less than $20 I took a chance on it.

Boy, am I glad I did.  This game is extensive, there's a little bit of everything in here.  The "real world" is limited to the camp with its perfect lazy summer day background music.  However, the minds of people you meet extend into Spanish bull-fighting, discos, a World War II-like battlefield, a Risk board game against Napoleon Bonaparte, a peaceful appearing neighborhood where spy cameras poke out of lawn ornaments, and, my favorite, a scenario where you play a Godzilla-type character.  There are so many funny sayings.... overall, you can tell that a LOT of thought went into this game.

I've been playing for nearly 30 hours, and I'm finally nearing the end.  I've enjoyed every bit of it.  I'm not one of those people that can play spooky Doom 3 type games.... I'm far too high-strung for zombies to be creeping up on me.  So, Psychonauts is a great choice if you don't care for those bloody games, either, and it's a great choice if you're looking for an affordable game for your original Xbox.

We hold monthly game day parties playing Pandemic, Elder Sign, Dead of Winter, Forbidden Island, and a bunch of other coop/competitive games. This was a perfect addition to the competitive ones. The set up is a little bit long and teaching/ understanding will take a bit, but the gameplay after that goes really fast. The actual wonder boards are somewhat optional to use (needed for the free resource you're given) and even have an easier side and a harder side.
You must play strategically because you're given about 7 cards to begin, but one you use a card, everyone exchanges hands clockwise and you can't go back.
The general premise is that you want your city (that hosts a Wonder of the World) to be the best in commerce, defense, and academics because that is how you get the most points at the end.
You first accumulate resources to build things, then build structures to attract tourists or academics to provide an educated populace, then you get the the last stage where you want to use the Guild cards (purple ones) that give you a crazy amount of points based upon your and other players' set ups.
There are only three rounds. And while my explanation is a very broad description, I hope it gives a relatively accurate impression. It's a GREAT game.

It should be noted that this game can use 2 players, but the 2 player version is the more "extreme" and is best played with 3+ people until you have a real grasp on it.

There isn't much wrong with this game. Some people don't like the way the player is controlled, I'm not one of them. Give this game a few hours to learn how to do everything and you will be hooked. The two player co-op mode, Horde (5 players against wave of enemies), and single player mode are among where I spent most of my time. I play the story mode several time with several different friends and never once got bored. Horde mode is a nice to play on Friday night with a few of your friends. If you play shooters and own a Xbox 360 this is a must own.

I'm a fan of Final Fantasy and the storylines. This new gameplay is great! Seamless fight sequences! You can avoid fighting as needed or jump in head first! Got the season pass, there are still add ons the require purchase but looking forward to the new add ons as they come!  This world is breathtaking!

I hadn't seen much math or geometry since high school, but this book does a great job at easing you into the underlying concepts of some pretty heavy stuff.  I tried to wade through the CG "bibles" ("Real Time Rendering", "Principles of Computer Graphics in C") and quickly realized that if you're not either a CG major in college or an experienced CG pro, those books are like being in heavy seas without a life vest.  (It really makes you appreciate what's involved in making those Pixar movies!)

Anyway, what I like about this book is that it explains everything first in fairly simple mathematical terms, deriving equations and proofs as it goes, and then illustrates to you visually exactly what is happening.

The majority of the material is conceptual.  This is not a coding book from which you can pull easy answers.  The code samples are in C++ and are confined to a few special chapters, and are really included as a programmatic interpretation of those concepts.

If you're already a CG pro, don't bother.  You probably know all the info herein from the top of your head, as well as having one of those other "bibles" on your desk!  But for a RAD programmer who needs a quick handle on some of the underlying concepts, this is the book!

Thanks Fletcher & Ian!

The game is good on it's own, but it's a MUST HAVE for the controller! While this game is not as easy as some fishing games (digital fish finder, and not an underwater view.) the robust tutorial mode will have you out on the lake and catching lunkers in no time. It will help you pick lures and land lunker sized bass in other games as well(Great for picking up the Bass fishing basicsbasics!) In addition, it provides great real-world bass fishing tips, tricks, and training (when to use certain lures, ways to cast, ways to do lure action). There are a variety of lakes to choose from, and a couple of different kinds of fish to catch. The tournaments are very challenging, and completeing them all gives you a special reward.
The fishing controller is what makes this a sweet deal. It's compatible with almost every fishing game out there, and adds to the realism of the game. Sometimes with some games the casting is a little sketchy (I thought I put more oomph in it than that???), but all in all it's a nice piece of hardware that makes a good game better.

I just started to play yesterday and this game is really fun. I get into "fighting" with my friend because of his way to fly, but in spite of that, I spent a really great time using this game. I will look forward to develop some skills to manipulate it very well on individual mode. In the mean time using the cooperative mode, this game is really cool.

I thought the game fabulous! There are two regards. The first and big one is when you are fighting and you get near a corner or a wall of a place and you have to move a lot, then sometimes a piece of the scenery gets in front and you can see what is going on! It is very frustrating when you are hit and does not know where the hit come from. The second one is at less importance. It comes when the character find himself between closer walls, the camera simply changes automatically by one side to the other. So if you are moving to one side when the camera changes you go to the opposite one.
But again, the game is very worth!!Enjoy it!

This game is simply amazing. The amount of content in it... you could be playing for over 400 hours, and still not have unlocked everything. The sheer amount of trophies and intel you can unlock will take over a 100 hours alone. I just finished the campaign, and it was amazing. It makes me proud to own a PS3. The graphics are amazing. When i walked into the San Francisco portion of the game, i had to put down my controller and just look at the screen. It shows how far video games have come. I just started the co-op campaign, and it is a BLAST. i invited a friend over and we blasted through another  whole campaign. what games do you know of that have 2 different campaigns on the same disc?? I havn't started playing competitively online, but it doesn't matter because regardless, even if this game didn't have competitive online, it'd still be a 5 star game. I'm excited to start blasting people away online, but until then, the campaign and co-op campaign will be enough for me. they're both definitely worth replaying. if you own a ps3, BUY THIS GAME. it's 10x better than the first one. If you don't own a ps3, this is one heckuva reason to buy one. Resistance 2 RULES!

This game is definitely worth trying out. If you liked the first Portal, you would definitely like this one as well, but make sure you will have other people to play the game with so you can take full advantage of its multiplayer as well.

The campaign might seem a bit short if you play it non-stop, and the multiplayer is useless unless you have someone to play with (online or in-person). The graphics and concepts in this are phenomenal. I really liked the new "weapon" additions they added. I won't give anything away but let's just say you end up having to use more than just your two portals and the little cube boxes to make it through the levels.

The multiplayer is very entertaining as well if you and a partner are clever enough you can probably make it through fairly quickly. However, I will note I've only made in through 3/5's of the multiplayer campaign which is divided up on to 5 separate courses, each course containing multiple puzzles (usually 10+)

Pros:
-Great additions to the original game.
-Unique, entertaining, sometimes funny storyline.
-Fantastic new concept with multiplayer.
-Graphics and scenery is awesome (along with dialogue)

Cons:
-Solo campaign might seem a bit short if you play constantly
-Puzzle complexity in solo player never got too intense unfortunately
-Multiplayer is useless if you don't have friends to play with because I don't believe there is a feature to randomly join with someone else

Overall I would give it a B+/A- mainly because of the aforementioned points along with the fact that it is a unique one of a kind game that offers a fun time along with analytical thinking to solve the puzzles.

Game is a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Wish there was a co-op mode though, only real con.

I just love the way this game encourages you to work together with your fellow teammates and help them win the game with you. A few minor flaws keep it from beeing perfect (e.g. it should be easier to find friends online). But on the whole, this is game is super
