Review title: Why Haven't We Heard About This? Product review: "Ship Ablaze" tells an astounding story of the calamity involving the steamship General Slocum. From beginning to end, it reads like a novel. The reader gets to know many of the people who were affected by this tragedy - the victims, the heroes, the cowards, and the scoundrels. In the end, we wonder why we haven't heard about this horrendous disaster. The book is fascinating reading!

Review title: Too much hype, too little delivery Product review: Too many people (myself included) jumped on the bandwagon as soon as they saw 'Don Box'. The book is more suited for a study in an academic environment as opposed to us in the real world who have delivery schedules and have to learn technology effectively.A full third of the book is just a regurgitation of other (out of date, even at print time) resources found on the web.This book is probably more eye candy on your bookshelf versus something developers can actually use to help them do their jobs.

Review title: Let's check it, first Product review: I agree that Acclaim has disappointed in the past with it's wrestling games (i.e. WWF Attitude and the ECW games, which just used the Attitude engine); however, seeing how this game is supposed to be for the PS2, I would imagine that they have revamped their engine for wrestling games. Especially since it's going to include some of the all-time greats, as well as the create-a-stencil feature. I'll check out this game when it comes out first, and just may be the deciding factor that makes me sell my PS One and get a PS2. It'll be great to pit Snuka vs Hart in a scaffold match, with the genius of Heenan and Albano on the mic commentating.
