The Power of Myth

5 stars (Thoroughly enjoyed) - Wonderful audio presentation of the Bill Moyer interview with Joseph Campbell. We originally checked it out from the library for a road trip, but just had to have our own copy. Listened to it twice on a recent cross-country road trip. 3 stars (Amazing Mythological Comparisons) - This is written in an "interview" form. I probably would get more out of the DVD format. It has very interesting comparisons of our life to mythology. Although very interesting, some ideas seem a little far-fetched. 4 stars (Intriguing, important but sometimes contradictory) - In our current secular culture where everything is de-mythologized, this is an important work. Campbell shows how the existential angst and meaninglessnes of modern toil is inextricably linked with our devaluation of mythology in the 21st century. From a philosophical point of view I especially admired the colourful way in which Campbell accounted for the dualism of the human predicament eg. In the Garden of Eden fall from unity into the knowledge of "good and evil". Buddhist conceptions of duality were also well integrated. However, in parts I found Campbell's message somewhat contradictory. Especially concerning the gnostic view that the material world is "bad", and the eternal world of the spirit, our real home. In some instances he seems to support this gnostic view, in others he wants us to embrace the tactile reality we find ourselves in, submerging ourselves in its goodness. Perhaps I just misunderstood. I would welcome enlightenment from fellow readers. Perhaps the greatest "take-away" for me was the value of investing myth into your everday world. As the Postmodern philosopher Rorty said: there is no true view of the world (even the scientific one), only a view which is the most useful. Personally I often find the meaninglessness of the materialist view pretty useless (for me, anyway), and a view rich with myth and mystical connotation might be infinitely more livable....

Age of Mythology Gold Edition

4 stars (Hours of fun with just a touch of educational value) - OK... so the comment of educational value might be a little much if you aren't interested in mythology and choose not to look at any of the context sensitive help, however if you do you'll be surprised at the amount of effort that went into the background that was documented for this game. The game itself is a blast having grown from the same mold as Age of Empires and it's predecessors. The inability to zoom in closer to the action or rotate the camera does make it difficult to control at times. The campaigns that are included are fun, but have little replay value. This is more than made up for with the ability to play online and/or create new scenarios (can sometimes be a time consuming experience if you want to create something large) or generate them randomly (to get back playing quickly) 5 stars (Extreme Gaming: Massively Multiplayer, stunningly strategic, stupendous storyline, gourgeos graphics!!!) - Have you played Starcraft, Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Rise of Rome, or Star Wars Battlefield? If you have, you should know what this is like... Create your civilization, decide what units to concentrate on, pick which god to worship, prioritize your defenses and your offensives, thats exactly what this is like. Differences for AoE, AoK, etc, are that they have converted the game into 3-D, creating stunning effects of biuldings, units, rivers, and forests. Also it has a twist with the gods, so you may worship the gods of your choice, and become different advantags. There are three main cultures, each with different gods and sub-gods. They are Greek, Egyptian, and Norse. Each has unique advantages and dissadvantages, offering many hours of play. After you are tired of the single-player and campaigns (that is, if you ever do) there is more!!! You can now easily log on to a server with hundreds of other players ready for a fight. And if you win, your rank raises. This lets you easily find t...

Age of Mythology

3 stars (Fell short of an "Age" game.) - I love PC strategy games. I have to say that " Age of Mythology " was a let-down from the progression of the "Age of Empires" titles. I think " Age of Mythology " was probably being used by Ensemble Studios as stop-gap money earner, and also a building block for the next game in their AOE series. The Good: In Age of Mythology , Ensemble made the jump to a 3-D graphics engine, which is now expected from all RTS games by the gaming community. It also has that same "feel" of an "Age" game, and the same style and ease of use through the User-Interface. The cultural specialization of the games civilizations is also very well done. The Bad: One word - "scale". While the rest of the RTS genre was going "Epic" - massive battles, huge fortifications, very large maps, complicated economies, yada, yada... Ensemble went small scale with " Age of Mythology ". Don't expect to see more than around 120 units in any single army in this game. Also... the whole "Mytholgy" aspect may be a bit of a turn-off to those who are accustomed to the more "historical/real-world" background of the "Empires" series. The ugly: Graphics - Even when " Age of Mythology " was released, the detail was lack-luster, and obtuse, even with all the graphic bells 'n' whistles turned on. Note to Ensemble - if your going to go small scale when building a game, you need to make the graphics spectacular. My advice - if you are a big fan of the "Age of Empires" series, skip "Age of Mytholgy" altogether... hold out for "AOE III". 3 stars (Expansion is very disapointing) - Well the first one was very nice, making difrent types of units to counter or lead atackes waching the great graphics or using gods powers to shmash your enemiews to bits or to restor or units or even your economy, but the canpaingne way way way to short. unlike the other age of ****** games that ive played over the year this campaigne focuses on the same story over and over again i mean come on (...

Age of Mythology Mac

5 stars (The Titans Add On) - It was a very fun game. It would definitly be on my Christmas list. It might have done better though with more civilizations, but not so many that you haven't played them all. 4 stars (EXCITING! but...) - I think in my personal opinion AOM is a fun, interactive game. with nine major gods to chose from I was imadetly was adictid to the game being 10 years old I loved the the game adrealin compared to the games that I play on gamecube. The one thing I don't like aboute this game is the the begining. often times whan my vilages are colecting resoces I often find my self bord and soon I turn off the game. overal Age Of Mytholagy is a fun. action-paced game. BUY IT NOW!!!! 4 stars (If you like the main game, you will also like this) - In a lot of ways, this is just more of the same, which is a good thing. If you like the main game, then you will also like this expansion. I did note that this expansion is quite a bit harder than the main game. I ended up playing it at a lower difficulty, because I realized I just wasn't having fun. This expansion adds a few gameplay twists. Many scenarios require you to either hold a position or protected certain things for a specified amount of time. Personally, I like scenarios where I am on the offense rather than the defense a lot better. There also are a number of scenarios where you are somewhat limited in what you can do. Often, you can not create settlements for instance, which means that a lot of things you could normally do (like creating new workers) you can not do here. You simply have to do with what you are given. Overall, I liked playing this expansion, although I liked the main game better. ...
