my Sims review for the Wii 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 17 people found this review helpful.

The Sims is a really fun game, and I play it when I have the chance to. It is a game where you create your own person from their voice to their clothes, and then create your own town by picking who lives in it and remodeling other peoples homes (and building your own). Before you do this though, you have to do a pretty long tutorial before you can play on your own. Also, the Prima Official Game Guide to the Sims is very helpful. It tells you who all the people in the game are, it shows you all the blueprints and tells you how to get them, and it also tells you about all the essences and where to find them. All in all, this is a really good game and I recommend it to anyone who likes building things or doing whatever you want in a game.

Yep, totally broken 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book is crazy overpowered. The Warlock class slowly makes itself invincible level by level. They've got too many hp's, too many save bonuses, too much armor, and they can imbue items w/o the item creation feats???????? WHAT???

Warlocks make clerics look like sissies, and they're not nearly as broken as the prestige classes. This book is great for Players whose DM's have an annoying habit of killing or screwing over their players, but it's a headache for the DM since you have to plan every dungeon and battle around super overpowered casters with no weaknesses.

Dual wand weild--a bard wand user can cast cure critical wounds and fireball every round...

Indispensible Guide. 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This guide was a HUGE help for me while playing the game. It provides a walkthrough with tips on how to defeat tough opponents, a guide to all items, and information on how to gain/lose influence with your party members, and what conversation choices will affect your Force alignment. I found this review to be a great help, although it's definitely not a necessity.

Useful to children 2 out of 5 stars.

While this strategy guide can come in handy when you can't do the math for the computer puzzles, it fails to give an accurate description of where and what do to and see. The character guides and information is weak and often useless. If you played through the game once, the guide offers no additional use in changing your gameplay.

In this case, the apple fell very far from the tree 5 out of 5 stars.

Brady Games makes horrible strategy guides. They omit things, and make everything confusing. This is the only exception.

The Okami Strategy Guide is succinct, but provides all the information for everything in the game. The guide is almost as beautiful as the game.

It's just a great guide for a great game.

Back and forth with this one 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

So I've been back and forth over this book a few times, especially once I first got it. After running through it a few times, I've come to the conclusion that it is pretty useful for bits and pieces of using Divine casters in a game.

Like most recent Wizards releases, there's lots of extra material I as a player and DM never use and don't intend on. Too many Prestige Classes. Lots of them take hits on caster level for a special ability, or some other small bonus. It can be hard enough to run a caster at its full casting level without having taking an extra hit.

Most of the magic items or artifacts presented aren't necessarily worth putting into a game without a specific use. Some of the regular magic items I wouldn't want to put in as part of a hoard or random treasure. They seem to be either overpowering or underwhelming, no happy medium.

Feats were hit or miss, either you can use them in a multitude of places and on many types of characters or they were built for one class only. However some of the one class only feats, such as the Wild feats are helpful if you run a Druid to some of the middle and higher levels. Augment Healing was a nice one, a little help with healing every time doesn't hurt, until you get Heal and works good after run out of Heals too.

When it came to classes, I've only be able to get into the Favored Soul. It's a pretty straight forward Divine casting sorcerer. It's got a d8 hit die, weapon focus as a bonus feat and 3 energy resistances through its level progression. Spell casting is a little slow compared to the Cleric, but you can do pretty well with bonus spells per day and a good Charisma score. Plus, you don't prepare spells, you spontaneous cast, which comes in handy when you need to act fast as both the healer and small tank. Wings in the late levels seem more as add on flavor text than as an actual perk of the class.

It's not a bad book overall, I'd suggest snagging a copy if Divine casters are your thing, or borrowing one to make you next cleric, druid or other divine caster.

Editorial Review:

The most detailed resource ever released on accessing divine power and divine favor in the D&D world.

Complete Divine provides Dungeons & Dragons® players with an in-depth look at how to gain the favor of the gods and use that power to a character's advantage. There is a rundown of new gods in the D&D pantheon, in addition to new feats, spells, prestige classes, and magic items. In addition, this title adds new and revised base classes to a player's character choices, and clerics in particular are provided with many new and updated spell domains and spells.
This title also contains a wealth of material for non-cleric characters, so the tips and data provided will assist all class types, including those classes not typically associated with garnering divine power.

This is a great book.......... 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I've used a number of these and this one seems to get down to the practical things that you need to know in dealing with recording with Pro Tools. It's been a while since I've recorded so this was sort of like starting over. This book takes you step by step in set up and gives good pictures and illustrations of what you're doing. It comes with some files you can load but it recommends that you create some of your own. I found that to be very helpful. It took me from hooking up any instruments, drum boxes, or whatever to recording something to work with. It made it more "real world" instead of just following a file you've been given.

It's truly a book from a musician to a musician. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get down to recording!!!

"Because everything is explained so concisely, you spend less time wading through pages and more time recording music." --Sound on Sound magazine

"An excellent book for any engineer or home recordist just getting into Pro Tools." --Tape Op magazine
