Title: Like lots of games I've played... Review: ...absolute fluff. While Herz is trying to put a spin on the history of gaming, she just about ignores the actualy history behind much of it, instead depending on personal experiences. All this is fine and good, but not particularly meaningful to anyone but herself. Anyone looking for a good book on videogames need look no further than Phoenix: The Rise and Fall of Videogames by Leonard Herman, which is a much more in-depth, detailed looked into the complex world that is videogaming. Now, I realize that's probably not what Joystick Nation had in mind, but I find it hard to believe that anyone would actually enjoy reading this...particularly anyone who plays games in this day and age.

Title: Save your money Review: This toy looks great in the commercials, but it is difficult to change her hair color, there are tiny pieces that can be easily lost, and it is not worth the money. For $30 my daughter (4 years old) played with it once and never touched it again. Save your money and buy something worthwhile. Is this product review negative?

Title: Completly Worthless - Nothing to do with XHTML Review: This book is completely worthless regarding XHTML. The author is just plugging a buzzword here to sell a book (that's not even interesting) about HTML 4.0. Matter of fact, one of the first things you read in the readme file is:"1) Open up Netscape Navigator"Now as far as I know Netscape doesn't understand XML, much less Namespaces and is completely unable to do ANY XHTML.This was a very good joke till it last, but as it is, I'm returning the book. As far as the HTML tutorial use of this book, we are taught how to do "complex tables" which for the author is equivalent to defining the width of the table's columns. No way!This was very, very disappointing. Is this product review negative?
