This is what I got out of the book:
Making games is not all that easy - Duh!
There was also a lot of information about game design.
The book walked you through making two games but the enclosed CD did not provide all the resources necessary to finish them.
Would I suggest to anyone else to purchase the book? Nah!
The only real helpful information I found in the book was the information on game design, but there is a lot of information regarding game design online.
