Story:Chessmaster: The Art of Learning expands the scope of chess to include broader principles of learning. Josh Waitzkin's much-anticipated book The Art of Learning (Free Press) is designed to pave the road to successful long-term growth on and off the chessboard. The eight-time National Chess Champion and two-time martial arts World Champion puts users in his shoes in some of the most riveting and formative moments of his chess career, including the legendary climactic game from the book and film Searching for Bobby Fischer. Waitzkin then turns to the classics, introducing beginners to brilliant games from some of the most important players in the history of chess. In his most revealing commentary ever, Waitzkin not only teaches the beginning chess player the fundamentals of the game, but also humanizes the road to mastery. Never has chess been so exciting.Show more

Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation
Elf Bowling: Hawaiian VacationThey're baaack! Yes, the elves have returned. This time, they have decided that the North Pole is a drag in the summer so they have stowed away aboard a yacht into the tropical Pacific. God help the Pacific. Players of Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation will note similarities between it and Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult. In both games, you are bowling elves and can direct the direction of the ball after it is thrown. In both games, you have bonuses to help you, like increasing the size of the ball, giving the ball super speed and shrinking the size of the gutters plus dirty tricks to use against your opponent, like increasing the gutter size, oil slicks and barriers on the lane and a cloud that makes the ball unchangeable after it is thrown. Hawaiian Vacation adds a story mode in which you can read the story then play a character in a best two out of three games. The story then continues and you play another, generally more skilled, character. You continue along the story until you are beaten in two out of three games or you reach the end of the story.

Advance Wars
Advance WarsJust because this battle fits in the palm of your hand doesn't mean the stakes are small. On the contrary, this all-or-nothing fight will have you accessing guns, grenades, launchers, and weaponry of all sorts. Players assume command of an army that's out to reclaim a world that's been broken up by warring factions. The battle map is essentially a grid, and moving units is like moving chess pieces on a board -- each of the units can move a specific amount of spaces within this grid, and can only attack at a certain distance from specific enemies. Advance Wars features more than 115 maps, a map editor, head-to-head play via link cable, and an easy-to-understand tutorial mode for beginners.
