Houd je NGC-controller stevig vast, en scheur op een motor door de duistere straten van een grimmig ogende industriële toekomst.XG3 is het derde deel in de supersnelle raceserie van Acclaim. Knal je tegenstanders aan de kant met 12 onverschrokken coureurs op 10 bochtige banen. Het wapentuig dat je hierbij mag gebruiken is krachtig genoeg om een complete oorlog mee te winnen.De belangrijkste spelvariant voor 1 speler voert je door een serie leagues van elk drie banen. De leagues ontlenen hun namen aan de buitenste elementen uit het periodiek systeem: Lithium, Rubidium, Caesium en Francium. In elke league moet je als 7e of hoger eindigen (bij een deelnemersveld van 12 coureurs) om door te kunnen gaan naar de volgende race.Vier snelheidsminnende vrienden kunnen elkaar bestrijden in de spelvarianten Team Grand Prix, Head-to Head of Co-operative. De supersnelle processor van de NGC maakte het voor de baanontwerpers van Acclaim mogelijk om zich helemaal uit te leven met ?loop-the-loops?, kurkentrekkers, hoge heuvels en diepe dalen. Als een mes door de boter, zo soepel snijdt je motor over de wervelende circuits. Onderweg schieten havens, bergen, gletsjers en kloven zo snel voorbij dat je ze nauwelijks opmerkt. De reusachtige reclameborden en sneeuwstormen kun je echter moeilijk missen! Ondanks de nachtmerrieachtige omgevingen (compleet met een onheilspellende soundtrack van Ministry of Sound), speelt XG3 als een droom van een arcade-racer. Remmen is een zeldzaamheid, en omdat je niet van de baan of je motor kunt vallen, is het je enige zorg om botsingen met de vangrails te voorkomen. Vergeet niet je turbo's te bewaren voor de hellingen van soms wel 90 graden! In dit spel draait het niet om realisme maar om de ervaring. Daarom is de besturing direct en precies (A-knop om gas te geven, Y-knop om te schieten, X-knop voor turbo), van essentieel belang tijdens het racen op topsnelheid, zoals in XG3. Je computergestuurde tegenstanders zullen in XG3 minstens zo fanatiek op de eerste positie jagen als jij, meestal zie je ze als een aantal kleine streepjes in de verte. Houd je ogen open voor een motor met een lichtspoor in dezelfde kleur als dat van jouw motor, van dat is je Team Partner! Hij helpt je waar hij kan uit benarde situaties. Met voltreffers breng je de snelheid van je tegenstanders terug, de enige weg naar de overwinning. Je kunt je schilden opladen in de neonverlichte baanvakken aan de randen van de track. Voor nieuwe wapens, motoren en andere verbeteringen, ga je shoppen in de XG Mall.XG3 levert snelheid en speelbaarheid. Een indrukwekkende demonstratie van de kracht van de NINTENDO GAMECUBE.

Plato's dialogue about the physical world
Format: Paperback
The two biggest topics in the Timaeus are astronomy and the elements of bodies, which are constructed using triangles and the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and cube. I would like to see a translation of the Timaeus that uses it as a way to introduce all the astronomy that appears in the dialogue. Introducing the astronomy does not mean just talking in words about spheres or the zodiac or the ecliptic, but actually explaining how these were used by astronomers. Cornford has much to say, but to someone who has not learned any Greek astronomy his commentary will be opaque and hard to use. I didn't know the astronomy well enough to readily understand Cornford's explanations. I plan to learn more classical Greek astronomy, perhaps using Evans' , and then read Waterfield's translation of the Timaeus . Before reading this you should have read the Republic and know some classical Greek natural philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. Although Cornford's commentary makes the dialogue staccato, I am glad for it because I wouldn't otherwise have understood much of what Plato says. The Timaeus and the Parmenides are the two dialogues of Plato that one needs commentary to understand; the Parmenides demands the commentary because so much of what is happening depends on the original language, and the Timaeus demands the commentary because of all the things the reader is supposed to be familiar with. The following is a list of topics I kept while reading the dialogue: theory of Forms 27d-28a, 51a-52a; harmonics 35b-36b; time 37c-38e, 39b-e; vision 45b-46c, 67c-68d; space 52b; surfaces 53c; weight 62d-63e; sound 67a-67c; physiology 70c-79e, 80d-86a; antiperistasis 79e-80c.

Helpful, but Waterfield is better for an intro
Format: Paperback
This is basically a scholarly paragraph-by-paragraph commentary on the Timaeus. It's really good for what it is, but I don't recommend it as your first introduction to the Timaeus -- rather, I recommend Waterfield: http://www.amazon.com/Timaeus-Critias-Oxford-Worlds-Classics-ebook/dp/B006NTMD16 A problem with using Cornford as an introduction is that he comments on everything, and it's hard to figure out what the main themes are. I tried reading Cornford as an intro and gave it up, but once I'd read Waterfield I found Cornford extremely helpful both in elucidating passages further than Waterfield does, and in interpreting passages Waterfield doesn't cover. So if you're looking to learn about the Timaeus, I'd suggest Waterfield first and Cornford second (or Cornford alongside Waterfield).

Cornford's running commentary is arguably the best suited to fulfill this desire
Readers of any of Plato's works are bound to feel they might profit from various commentaries. His Timaeus, in particular, may be said to elicit such a hope because of number and intricacy of its details. Cornford's running commentary is arguably the best suited to fulfill this desire: it helps make clear the integrity of the dialogue as a whole and illumines the specific points along the way. Although this work is certainly dated, originally published in 1937, it is certainly one of the best full commentaries on the Timaeus.

Plato's view of the creation of the world
Format: Paperback
A cosmology is a narrative concerning the creation of the universe. Many ancient philosophers have written or elaborated this kind of work. The Platonic dialogue Timeus is an account of the work of the creator god (called the demiurge - or artisan) sculpting the chaotic material world in accordance with the immaterial model of the Ideas. But the text was written in a very hermetic and symbolic language, making its interpretation difficult or even impossible without the knowledge of the references and symbols used by Plato. This book is a complete translation of the text followed by a comprehensive commentary explaining in detail every passage. Francis MacDonald Cornford is one of the most important ancient philosophy scholars, and this work reveals his deep knowledge of Platonic and Greek thought. It is a must have for anyone interested in greek and Platonic philosophy.
