Book Reviews of Beginning OpenGL Game Programming (Game Development Series)

Book Review: Good Introduction to OpenGL - but what about Games?
Summary: 3 Stars

This book is a good introductory book, but it should have probably been called "Beginning OpenGL". The Gaming part is mentioned only briefly, and for any detail you'll have to go to what's on the CD. The CD literally makes this a decent book to buy; without the CD the OpenGL Red Book is probably money better spent. The other fault of this book is that the images are sub-par; it looks like the authors themselves did the images instead of a professional graphics house.
