| | Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone |
 | | Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is unquestionably a member of the fantasy genre. | | | And, what's more, this craze is not derived from a movie, video game, or television series, but from one of the oldest forms of mass-market entertainment: a book. | | | Harry Potter's most apparent antecedents are J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit (which is written in a much lighter style than The Lord of the Rings), C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia, and Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain. |

| | Tea Leaves: Puzzles |
| | I play a lot of games (video games and otherwise), and I enjoy a good puzzle when I come across one in that context, but personally I'm much more interested in the narrative of a game than in the mechanics of any specific puzzle therein, as this series of articles demonstrates. | | | There's the "tribute to Gollum Riddle Game" (complete with riddles taken straight out of The Hobbit), where the player faces the overwhelmingly daunting task of being asked a riddle that is easy to begin with and then has to choose the right answer from a list. | | | The puzzles were so transparently artifices that they actually destroyed my immersion in the narrative of the game, and I had to spend a few minutes after each one re-acclimating to the game world to recover what the puzzle took away. |

| | The Hobbit Review - GameCube |
| | Choosing the book, The Hobbit, as a setting for an action/adventure video game is a natural, given the intense interest in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, popularized right now by a highly successful series of movies. | | | It is appropriate, then, that the game, The Hobbit, reflects the simplicity and overall cheerfulness of the novel, rather than the dark overtones of The Lord of the Rings. | | | The novel of The Hobbit is the precursor of the trilogy, and is a more light-hearted approach to Middle-Earth, with a much more simplistic story than The Lord of the Rings. |

| | The Hobbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | One of the first was The Hobbit, a computer game developed in 1982 by Beam Software and published by Melbourne House for most computers available at the time, from the more popular computers such as the ZX Spectrum, and the Commodore 64, through to such esoteric computers as the Dragon 32 and Oric computers. | | | It is a hack and slash game produced as a prequel to The Lord of the Rings video games, but also as a softer version of those two games: less brutal, fewer enemies but with an important platform aspect, the game was designed for smaller children. | | | A similar version of this game was also published for the Game Boy Advance. |

| | CRASH 10 - Deus Ex Machina |
| | Deus Ex Machina is unique, as much of a milestone in computer history as The Hobbit with its graphics, because this game has a synchronised sound track! | | | In fact it's hard to decide whether this is an extension of the computer video game by music, or an extension of the 'concept album' by the addition of games playing. | | | Deus Ex Machina is not for people who want a straightforward shoot em up because it simply isn't that sort of game. |
