Easy to use instructions for hours of fun. Original blueprints and designs included. Tie-ins to other complimentary LEGO products OK, so this isn't your typical computer game, and it certainly isn't the sort of software you'd expect to have its own "strategy guide. " But be that as it may, Lego Creator is a pretty slick title that offers kids (and adults, we have to admit) the chance to play with a virtual Lego set right on the computer monitor. Think of it: you can build anything your little heart desires with over 300 computerized Lego bricks and dozens of vehicles and buildings. BradyGames' guide to Lego Creator offers 24 projects that you can build with the software, along with a gallery of creations sent in by some die-hard Lego fans the world over. The book also offers some tips for using your computer-generated designs as blueprints for building projects out of your real-life Lego bricks. Essentially, this little book can help you and your kids get the most out of a pretty cool piece of software (and it will even show how to build a Lego whale). -Michael Ryan.

Review Official Guide to Fallout (Official Strategy Guides) / BRADY GAMES:This guide provides walkthroughs for individual quests, information on enemies, mutants and friendly characters, and strategies for tactical warfare for players of the "Fallout" computer game. One of the great role-playing games of the decade, Interplay's Fallout is a single-character game with Diablo-style graphics and classic RPG (role-playing game) gameplay. With the 1998 E3 conference debut of Fallout 2, this game is right back in the spotlight. If you're just picking up the game for the first time-or even if you're giving it another go-this exceptionally well-written book will come in handy. The book offers varying degrees of guidance, so that it doesn't automatically give away any secrets you'd rather learn on your own. You can read a complete, quick-and-dirty walk-through of the entire game, skim the less-specific hints for each location and quest, or dive into a more literary description of the game: a well-written diary that walks you through every step of the way. As you might expect, the book offers a complete listing of the game's objects, locations, and characters. The screen shots help to illustrate key points while the great illustrations help to set that mixed 1950s/postapocalyptic mood. To cap things off, humorous and helpful tips from "Ol' Slim," the old-time adventurer, are scattered throughout the book. -Michael Ryan.
