The main difference between GAME PROGRAMMING and BEGINNING GAME DEVELOPMENT is that the former deals with 2D scrolling arcade type games, using PyGame; and the latter gets into 3D games using PyGame and openGL (I think). I don't have the McGugan book, so I don't know for sure. You can take a look at a sample chapter at Will's site: http://www.willmcgugan.com/2007/10/04/free-chapter-of-beginning-game-development-with-python-and-pygame/ The publisher also has the source code from the book available.
