Finally, a game guide that you really must buy!

Advantages: Tons of information, Easy to read and find what you need, Factually accurate.
Disadvantages: Some information is repeated, A section on the blocks used in house building would of been nice.

With MySims being such an open ended game, the Prima guide is not a walkthrough, and is instead an encyclopaedia of the games essences, the different Sims themselves, tasks you ca do for them, the rewards and a list of all the blueprints (I understand this may confuse someone not familiar with MySims but I will assume if you are reading this, you are familiar with the games content) Degree of Information There is a lot of content in the guide, ...
...Money The Prima MySims guide is certainly more value for money than most other guides, this is solely because it makes the game more interesting and lets you spend more time playing the game itself rather than navigating the games menus, you can just look in the guide to see it in a clear and concise way. It does add to the game, something that many guides do not and it is essentially an encyclopaedia of everything in MySims. However, the guide ...

Great for all ages

Advantages: great for all the family
Disadvantages: can be frustrating!

I've had a Bedlam Cube for several years! It's something that doesn't go out of fashion and can be attempted by any age (5 to 100+). When you purchase Bedlam Cube you are buying a plastic/perspex cube with a lid, inside which is an assortment of coloured plastic shapes (as you can see in the above picture provided by ciao). Now when you buy it, make a careful note of where the shapes are. You take the lid off and take the pieces out and the challenge ...
...the lid on - easy?! Not as easy as it sounds. As I said I've had the puzzle for years and haven't managed to do it. When we bought it my dad even took over opening it so that he could attempt to draw a plan of how the shapes were - still no joy even when following his plan! This comes out every family occasion as it's great to entertain and see people getting so close and then getting annoyed! Great toy/puzzle for any age ...

Review of Bedlam Cube Puzzle

Princess Fiona's husband has got himself a new job

Advantages: great family fun, easy to play and improves eye-hand co-ordination
Disadvantages: can become annoying if you keep missing and everyone else doesn't

You all know Shrek… the big green lovable ogre immortalised by Dreamworks/Universal picture/Paramount pictures, (not the one who plays for Manchester United …), well now he is starring in a rather weird, but very comical game called Shrek Bug Bounce. As my kids love the Shrek saga, remember the movies with the big green ogre who turns out to be more of a charmer than a monster, they decided that they wanted this game when they saw it on ...
...game entailed. The box looked like it could be a fun game, with a strange image of the beloved Shrek staring at me, his big green face smiling like a madman, although looking a little different. When we got it home I poured the pieces onto a table, checking everything was there… ** CONTENTS… * One rotating ‘green Shrek’ figure head * Four ‘log’ arms * 40 small ‘bugs’ (ten of each colour, green, yellow, light green and orange) NOTE: This ...

Review of Vivid Imaginations Shrek Bug Bounce

Master Materia, And Much More

Advantages: Helpful for those struggling to finish the game first time
Disadvantages: Strategies not that deep, incomplete information, presentation could be better

Final Fantasy VII isn’t a tough title to finish, but the reason I bought this strategy guide back then was because I wanted to play the game to its fullest. This promises all the secrets straight from Squaresoft, but let’s look at what this book fails to fulfil well: COMPLETE BESTIARY – As there are inaccuracies, it is incomplete. BOSS STRATEGIES – They’re there, but they’re not that deep, and the same can be said about some sections in the Walkthroughs. ...
...was indeed the final Final Fantasy for Bradygames; Piggyback was brought in for the following Final Fantasy, and they have published the strategy guides for this series ever since. The Official Final Fantasy VII has an RRP of £13.50, but can be found on Amazon for under a tenner. ...

helps if ya get stuck

Advantages: seperated into chapters, clear graphics
Disadvantages: sometimes difficult to read in places

...a few years ago when the original sims game came out and it was relatively helpful it simply explains all the features such as looking after your sim and building tools, buying objects, how to get higher in the career. As it was the first sims game there wasnt that much to do as there is in the next generation sim games such as sims 2 and 3. I dont even think the guide would be that easy to get hold of nowadays and most computers would even be too ...
...go for the later games. Very easy to read through and the book is split up into sections so that what you are looking for is very easy to find such as Careers, Relationships, Family, Skills etc. Clear images of the computer screen to help you around the tool bars ...
