 TweakGuides.com - Doom 3 Tweak Guide
One of the most highly-anticipated games of the last few years, and the pressure was on for me to write this sucker and put it up for everyone to improve their Doom 3 performance.
It is quite clear why the game took so long to develop and release - the developers were putting every ounce of their energy into making sure this thing is as close to an interactive movie as you can get on a modern PC.
The guide covers all the in-game settings in detail, but it also goes into lengthy coverage of many of the all-important advanced console and config commands which will let you eke out as much performance as possible from an already-optimized engine.

Oni is a single-player blend of action and adventure that combines the elements of shooters and fighting games in a anime-style world.
Oni's third-person vantage point casts gamers in the role of Konoko, a heroine with a vast arsenal of fighting moves and powerful weapons at her disposal.

Action games involve the player in the exploration of fantasy worlds in the form of running, jumping, climbing or leaping with the goal of discovering the doorway or exit into the next stage or level.
Games that would normally be considered platform titles would fall under this category if the emphasis was placed on solving puzzles rather than directly controlling the character.
Games such as NBA Jam or Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball may bend the rules a bit, but they still retain the basic elements of the sport and should be classified as such.

 DNA/Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Infocom Adventure
But, as long as you limited yourself to what the game understood and the game designers wrote creatively enough to misunderstand you in a humorous and entertaining fashion, it all worked.
It therefore stands to reason that any game which combined a really good programmer with a really good writer was likely to do well.
Then graphics games came along and the computer using portion of the human race forgot all about 500,000 years of language evolution and went straight back to the electronic equivalent of banging rocks together - the point'n'click game.

 Party411 Party Game Guide - Outdoors
Poison: This is a game where there is one lucky person who is "it." He stands between two bases (in our backyard we made the "bases" a fence at one end of the yard and a brick wall at the other end of the yard), and is allowed to move anywhere between those 2 bases.
Scavenger Hunt: This is a game that is usually relatively inexpensive and time-consuming (good for both kids and parents).
Perhaps this game could begin at the house of the party host/hostess, and the final clue could lead to the party destination.

This guide is quite helpful if you are the type who wants to make sure you uncover ever last secret and corner that you may have missed, but I find the game is much more enjoyable if you play it on your own with no help from the guide.
The dual nature of the game allows one to follow paths of either good or evil to the story's end - or a meandering walkway somewhere in between - allows just enough room to complete the game without ever exploring vast portions of the world provided.
I got the guide because it was 50% off with the game purchase, and the mean chick behind the counter used scare tatics, threatening "hard to find hidden items".

 The Morning News - The 2004 Good Gift Games Guide, by Matthew Baldwin
Old-school war games have a reputation for being either too abstract (think Risk), or so dedicated to accuracy that they require a legion of cardboard counters and a fortnight to complete.
The game comes complete with infantry, tanks, and artillery miniatures, as well as a huge, double-sided board with countryside and beach landscapes to accommodate the various battles.
When the game ends about 10 minutes later, each chip a player owns is worth the value of the card on the top of that color’s discard pile.

For game development, however, our needs for the Hypershade are not nearly that demanding.
A material can be described as a representation of the general surface properties of an object: how shiny it is, how glossy it is, how luminescent it is, etc. Texture files can be applied to a material’s different attributes to control these factors to an exact degree.
Sometimes, all you have to do is apply your main color texture, and the game engine will apply any other maps (bump map, spec map, etc.) automatically by referencing the file name.

Most gaming sites aren’t much help, either, because if a game is hyped enough, it will get a good score, even if it doesn’t deserve it.
These are the games that deserve your money and, better still, will make your loved gamer squeal and bounce like kids jacked up on Red Bull and Reese’s.
However, it is ultimately up to you to be involved in what your children are playing, to see the game for yourself and make up your own mind.

Wireless controllers: Playing a console game with a wireless controller is like throwing stale Krispy Kremes at a former member of Boyz II Men: You can't understand the joy unless you've experienced it.
The WaveBird for the GameCube is the standard by which all wireless controllers are judged, with solid controls and a long battery life.
