Great for those new to the PoP series

This is my first Prince of Persia game so I can't compare it to Sands of Time, a game that -by an overview of most reviews here- seems to be considered one of the ultimate PoP games and one that Forgotten Sands beckons to quite often.  Needless to say, I was aware of the Prince of Persia series, I just never had any interest in it beyond being dragged along to the movie that came out last year (decent movie, not amazing, though).  Now, as I play through, I can honestly say it's by far one of the most entertaining games I've played.

First off, I'm a huge God of War fan and personally enjoy the third person fixed camera game.  Forgotten Sands is, of course, that kind of game, albeit with -most of the time- control of the camera.  There's classic PoP platforming, something that I'd always heard was amazing and can say that it is quite that - being able to traverse things in such a manner is definitely amazing.  The voice acting is topnotch, albeit not as "real" as Red Dead Redemption, but much more realistic than Kratos' angry shouting.  The story is pretty standard action/adventure stuff (two brothers release an army of undead and have to clean up the mess they started; cliche stuff really).  The game play is extremely rewarding.  The graphics?  Honestly, this looks like it sits somewhere between the PS2 and PS3, and that probably will be most people's greatest annoyance with Forgotten Sands.  This far into the PS3 (or Xbox 360, respectively) polished graphics are standard, and unfortunately except for the gorgeous CGI-created opening sequence Forgotten Sands looks outdated.  Graphics here are like those of DC Universe Online; decent, but not amazing by any means.  Still, the storyline and gameplay makes up for places where this game falls short, and there isn't much to dislike other than its inferior graphics engine.

In the end, Prince of Persia-Forgotten Sands is one of the most fun and entertaining action/adventures titles you could pick up for either console.  I'd go so far as to say if it wasn't for the lack of graphical details it'd be a perfect aa game.  Overall, being in Persia ain't so bad.

A true fan already has all these songs in their collection. Songs are from "Say What You Will ...", "While You Were Out" and I think some our from "Clam Dip And Other Delights".  Good collection for newer fans whom like to hear their oldies but you can still purchase the individual Albums/CDS for the list of great fun tunes.

Having been a fan of the prior band before The Swimmers (One Star Hotel; Check them out!) and having picked up the first Swimmers album, i knew i had to give this one a shot. I must admit, initially i was thrown off as this album does have some dancey sort of grooves to it. After spinning a week and letting the album soak in however it has shown itself to be an album full of very solid pop music. On this album, you can see the Swimmers broadening their stroke as it were.

I wasn't too sure how having a new Prince would affect the series, but the game stays true to its roots despite having a different character as the protagonist. Excellent game if you have enjoyed the previous PoP games.

The Doobie Brothers were one of the great pop rock bands of the 1970s. They could rock, they could create jazz rock, and they could be mellow (and at times, folky). They were incredibly diverse, and were a very underappreciated band from that decade (and the hits continued into the early 1980s for this band, unlike many of their peers).

'Best of the Doobies,' the original Doobie Brothers compilation remains the place to begin for the casual or new fan. It's a no-nonsense collection featuring only the radio hits. 'Jesus is Just Alright,' 'Long Train Running,' 'Listen to the Music,' 'Takin' it to the Streets,' and 'China Grove' all appear here in their classic versions. And while the disc was pressed in 1990, it still has great sound 20 years on.

However, the Doobies did continue to have hits after the '70s ('What a Fool Believes' hit #1 in 1979; 'Real Love' was a Top 10 hit in 1981), and so if you like what you hear on this disc, you'll want to keep going in collecting. They had Beach Boys-esque harmonies that were just so great, so I'll almost guarantee you you'll want to keep going. I recommend getting 'Greatest Hits' next after this one.

Overall, this is recommended. If you want a good starting point for the Doobies, look no further. This is a basic bare bones hits collection. It has the hits, and nothing but. If you are a longtime Doobies fan, this isn't for you. However, if you heard 'Listen to the Music' on the radio, liked what you heard and wanted a good CD of theirs, than this should fit the bill perfectly.

Recommended for the new or casual fan.

Being a huge fan of the band, I know this greatest hits collection could've even been better than it was, but this is a good start for newer fans. In my opinion, some glaring omissions were: "Never Say Goodbye", "Wild in the Streets", "Let it Rock", "Blood on Blood", "Born to Be My Baby", "Living in Sin", "In these Arms" and "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" if you were just going on popular tracks alone. But not too shabby boys!...

If you're fed up with using the same old pentatonic licks and want to break into the jazz form of the blues then this series is for you. All three of the volumes in the series display tremendous melodic invention using arpeggios and various scales. Where pentatonics are used, it makes a noticeable contrast to the other lines. All of the pieces are within the ability of an intermediate player, but you have to use the pinky - three fingers is definitely not enough here.

This series is designed to help you learn blues soloing in the jazz style, using tab and standard music notation. There are chord symbols, but no chord grids and no theory - this is all about about learning by doing. The CD provided with each book is well produced, and each solo is accompanied by an excellent band. The tracks also have sections with just the backing.

Some of the fingering is off - but with a little thought you can substitute your own fingering and make it work. There are also a very few notes which are incorrectly transcribed, but they are easy to figure out.

I like all three volumes in the series, but my favorite is book 2.

I got this for the dance instructions.

This product contains two discs, one a CD of music, another a Dvd of instructional dance videos.  I got it to learn a few dance moves.  I like the show, and I like some of the dance moves that the girls do.  After working through a couple of the lessons, I found that the dance moves are very easy.  If you have a tween, I would recommend this.  Rather than sitting on the couch with tortilla chip crumbs on their chins or getting corpal tunnel syndrome by age 10 from playing Super Nintendo or whatever they're playing now, your kid can learn some dance moves and get some very good cardio exercise.

As far as the music CD goes, this is your basic contemporary pop music.

If you happen to like pop and metal like me (strange combo but...) this is the band for you. Catchy pop songs with awesome musicians ripping in the background

So far I like GH World Tour. I have only made it to the 2nd level but I'm happy with the song options so far. Of course I am happy playing songs I am familiar with rather than obscure tunes. One drawback is the level format. I think I liked the layout of GH III better, this one is harder to figure out for a game novice like myself. Overall though glad I bought it.

I must say I usually suck badly at karaoke games, but I bought this for a female friend, and she loved it.  What usually frustrates me is I don't keep up with the latest pop songs, so I bumble my way through them and tend to lose, but everyone from my 30-something generation knows the words to these pop classics.  It even has 2 of my favorites from that decade, Thompson Twins & Simple Minds.  It was also great seeing their videos again, back when MTV used to actually play videos!  A great party game, and you know what goes great with party games...

This is a wonderful compilation of "essentials" for the Michael Jackson aficionado--one thing that is really fun about it is that the first disc starts with his earliest work and then proceeds linearly onward. Basically, you get to listen to him grow older and hear how his voice and style change.  It's very interesting.

To sum up: you get two wonderful discs with a wonderful compilation of the main hits of Michael Jackson--if you have a favorite song of his chances are it's on one of these discs. If you want a more complete collection you might try the Michael Jackson Ultimate Collection of course, but as I own both I must say that I nonetheless find this a very convenient collection for just grabbing to take along with me.

Great! And God bless dear Michael by the way.

I got this because I like the TV show and wanted to get into the comics. I was not disappointed in the slightest. While I have not read any Flash comics in the past I thought this volume was a good jumping on point for someone who wants to start reading the comics. The only issue with this volume is that it is set about 5 years after the flash got his powers. In my opinion volume one of a comic series should contain an origin story. Other than that it is a great read and does not require any prior knowledge other than the Flash has super speed and can run close to the speed of light.

I am picking up my trombone after not having played it for about 10 years (after having played for 5 through middle+high school) and these pop melodies were fun and definitely easy, as the title implies.

I would have liked them to be a liiiitle more difficult for the sake of sounding more like the songs (whether it was a few extra notes in there or some higher registers or some different keys --- all 3 of these cases exist within the book at different times).

However, they are easy (and fun) pop melodies and it'd be great for an intermediate player to take this and learn how to add their own extra notes to make the music sound truer to the original tunes while learning improvisational techniques based on what is given.  All in all surely worth the 5 bucks it costs.

If you are a MLP fan and haven't been reading the comics, you really should. This is a great way to get the first whole story arc in one convenient  book. The art, story, and tons of inside and pop culture jokes make this comic worth reading even if you may not be a fan of the animated series.

Even for a casual listener of pop music, I really appreciated the insight into how hits are made.  The book took me on an interesting journey through the world of pop music.  I recommend this book.

Someone who came from the pop side of music and slowly getting into heavier vocals, this is  the perfect band to get into for me. The way the harsh vocals are mixed is a little different than most of the bands I have sampled that are similar in that they decided to keep the volume level of the vocals at a level that it does not over dominate the other instrument sounds. Perfect cd to get pumped to at the gym. If your a fan of the harder stuff there might be one or two songs you might not like on this album with sabine dominating vocals on a few. But if your ok with pop like I am than youll like all of them, and  these days you can just pay for the songs you want so you don't have to like every song.
