Descent 2 (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game really set a standard for head-to-head and group slugfests online, along with Quake. The graphics were top-notch and were greatly enhanced if you scored a co-processing graphics card (remember those?), and gameplay was something else.
Skipping the nostalgia for a moment, I'll outline the basic premise. You shoot stuff, and rescue hostages. That's about it, and it lacks subtelty in description because gameplay is equally blunt. The weapons are the main character here: bombs that will wipe you out, invisibility defenses that let you sneak up on enemies, mines that will follow targets around corners when triggered, and a gun that can only be described as a fully-automatic rail gun.
The levels are, without qualification, individual works of art. The designers (and the many free add-on levels you can download) are simply incredible, and depending on your particular strengths, you can always find a level to compete (although the level of competition can be extremely high).
If you play this game straight-through as one-player, you may tire of the big boss endings, and it does get ridiculously difficuly two-thirds of the way in. Still, if you manage it the game is a visual stunner and six degrees of freedom is something to behold.
If you have the nerve to fight a human opponent, you should still find plenty of takers for your challenge. Be warned, cheaters exist (albeit less in the broadband-for-all era) and if you suspect your game is rigged, you can always find another one.

Aliens vs. Predator 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is so fun and scary I jumped like 20 times in the marine levels. The game keeps your heart racing because an alien can jump at you out of no were and can appear behind you. And its cool how you only have a little light to help you see in the dark. Some people say the graphics aren't that good but when I played the game if thought they were great. The sounds in the game are really nice they remind you of the movies. The Back round music is really cool to. The Predator levels are really fun with all the different weapons but it's also the hardest because you die so fast. The Alien levels are real fun because you get to go threw the alien cycle of life. All in all if you like the any of the alien or predator movies or AVP the movie then you will love this game.

Best Seller Series: Starcraft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Starcraft is the ultimate real-time strategy game. In a world of games that lose their appeal within a year of release, Starcraft keeps bringing players back. Blizzard Entertainment is known for its excellent RTS-type games such as the Warcraft series, but the company's high water mark is Starcraft. The set-up is that a long lost space colony of humans finds itself in mortal conflict with two alien races, the Zerg (nasty reptiles) and Protoss (ancient psionic warriors). The game allows you to play all three races in turn, and revolves around the collection of resources to buy more units, buildings and technological improvements as you try to fulfill mission objectives.
As we've come to expect from Blizzard, the gameplay itself is superb - intuitive interface, interesting units that complement each other in interesting ways, and graphics that are adequate even if they are showing their age. In my opinion, the balance between the three races is as close to perfection of any game I've played. Each race is utterly distinct and requires completely different strategies to play, but none has an obvious advantage over the others. But where the game really goes over the top is in the storyline. Blizzard is NOT known for great plots. For example, the Warcraft III storyline has some unbelievable plot twists that have to be overlooked to keep playing. In contrast, Starcraft has an absorbing plotline that flows seamlessly throughout the single player campaign and actually made me gasp in astonishment a few times, which has never happened since in an RTS.
I assume that any fan of real-time strategy computer games already has this one. If you have any interest at all in RTS, get this game. If you passionately hate RTS, Starcraft is the best bet to change your mind.

The Children of The Law of One & The Lost Teachings of Atlantis Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)if you are curious as to the cause, nature and origin of the critical state of disharmony on our planet, The Children of The Law of One & The Lost Teachings of Atlantis by (the now late) Jon Peniel is the most comprehensive, informative and authentically true book i've found on The Matter.
with humor and aplomb the CLO & LAT explained everything to me about "life" as we know and experience it in/on the extant (3D five sense reality) incarnated plane of existence we live/operate in/on. the CLO & LAT also caused me see, literally and figuratively, The Light -- especially understanding, appreciating and coming to terms with the fact that we are indeed spiritual beings having a human experience (as opposed to human beings having a spiritual experience or even human beings having a human experience).
if you are wanting to know the origins of our being here, how things "devolved", why things are the way they are in our world/plane of existence today, how they got this way -- the details and history of how the whole "mess" started, who/what is responsible, what's gonna happen next/how the "mess" is going to be "cleaned" up, what needs to be done, how to better yourself and live life so as to be an exemplar for others, etc. -- essentially all of life's mysteries and questions explained -- then this is The Book for you.
an excellent companion book imho, Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil: Why Church Fathers Suppressed the Book of Enoch and Its Startling Revelations, is Most Congruent and dovetails very well with the CLO & LAT teachings on what Went Wrong and what's gonna happen to Right Things.

This is the account of an American teenager who discovered a monastery in Tibet that was the inspriation for the legend of "Shangri La". It might be categorized as a 'new age' or philosophy book, like The Celestine Prophecy, since it focuses on his spiritual training and their teachings in a novel-like format. Hard to believe, but interestingly, the sub-tropical region amongst the Himalayas that he describes finding, was later documented by explorers from National Geographic, the 'covered up' (there is still evidence of this). Also interesting is that the author was apparently mentioned in the Edgar Cayce readings (the famous American psychic whose books have sold millions of copies), as someone who would one day bring an important message to the world.--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
