5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction and reference book, 24 Jan 2007
By Mr. B. C. Curley (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have owned the Torque Game engine licence for over a year now, and until I purchased this book I was unable to make any real headway. No matter how many forum post and web based documentation I read I still felt confused and very quickly my enthusiasm drained. This book however has not only clarified a large amount of issues I had with the game engine but given me a much needed boost in my enthusiasm. I am now currently throwing together my own simple games and exploring some of my own ideas for game play. This book is an excellent reference and is already littered with bookmarks through use. But it doesn't just stop there, the CD comes with a wealth of additional information and everything you need to start using torque with excellent quick reference pdfs.

Put simply if you need that 'click' moment when working with torque game engine or you want to get into making your own games get this book.

I promise you will not be disappointed, roll on volume II.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to the Torque Game Engine., 29 Aug 2006
By Mark Berry "AftermathStudios.com" (Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a well written and laid out book that steps into the Torque Game Engine in a logical and easily followed manner. This is essential reading for anyone new to the engine, as the Garage Games own documentation is lamentably awfull for newcomers.

Even if you are not new to the engine, this book will prove valuable, not only as a reference, but it will also teach you a few tricks by virtue of its bredth of coverage.

Well worth getting.
