Three word book reviews

Phil Gamble — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:10:07 +0000

Well actually slightly more than that. 9 words, I lied.

When choosing the books
Beginning 3D Game Programming: Yeahy! Sounds cool.
Agile Software Development: The next best.

After a quick flick through
Beginning 3D Game Programming: ehh? Really? Hmm…
Agile Software Development: Management waffle. Heavy.

After a longer read
Beginning 3D Game Programming: Not for beginners.
Agile Software Development: The Cooperative Game: Hidden encyclopedic gem.

You will be able read my full, considerably longer than 3 (or even nine) word reviews, in the October edition of MarkUp which will be coming out in the next couple of days.

Haven’t brought “The Game Maker’s Apprentice: Game Development for Beginners”, Mark Overmars and Jacob Habgood’s book? No, neither have I. If you are interested take a look on Google books.

Obviously the whole book isn’t on there but it will give you a good idea of what the book is like.

Free Game Development Books

Philip Gamble — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 15:53:08 +0000

Today I received two free game development books by courier, “Beginning 3D Game Programming” and “Agile Software Development“.

The books were sent to me as part of my involvement with the MarkUp magazine, where a future issue will contain reviews I have written on them. (I guess I have to read the books first )

As Eyas said “it is one of the pluses of being a good writer at Markup”, so if you are interested in contributing to a future issue…. you never know what might come your way – currently there is also an offer of a free domain if you write for issue 8.
