Q: Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: plenty of reference, hardly any strategy Review: While it's generally agreed that Prima's guides are often letdowns, the Civilization-type games have usually been a noteworthy exception to the trend. Until now.There are 28 pages (out of 320) of straight strategy. There's a useful section in the back on customizing 'modpacks'. The bulk of the rest of the book is a description of the base enhancements, techs, secret projects, and so on--all of which is available in the game with a mouseclick. (They do at least offer some suggestions on the relative values of the items.) They deemed it worth their time to include an index.What's missing is: an in-depth look at play as each faction; some hints on designing your own units (and how to get the most out of the fairly clunky unit design interface, about the only clunky part of the game's UI); and a meaningful sense of the diplomatic aspect of the game (which can be important).Mileage will vary, but compared to what Civ fans are used to this guide doesn't measure up. Answer:
A: Negative


Q: Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Boring but atmospheric. Wasted potential. Review: When I saw previews for this film, I thought it may have been based on Algernon Blackwood's short story The Willows. I was excited, but quickly became bored. The film is little more than the same "kill the cast" flicks of which you have seen entirely too many.The setting is lovely (the Broads are a joy), and the thought of being lost in a sea of reeds is bound to bring out fear, but I wound up fast-forwarding in the hopes that something would catch my eye and tell me what was going on.SPOILER ALERT. The "reveal" doesn't really reveal much. The killer is told to kill by the ghosts, but that makes no sense. No explanation that I saw said why he killed the kids in the first place. So it is a chicken and the egg kind of thing. Makes no sense, has no significant plot, and the very end, where everything seems to go back in time and the woman's eyes turn black, makes no sense either. I was really disappointed. Answer:
A: Negative


Q: Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: A Beautiful Taste of Historic Florida Review: I have spent many, many of my childhood summers in Florida. Florida's Historic Restaurants is a wonderful taste of the south. In addition, each restaurant has a description of it's history that is captivating. The description provides far more information than an average restaurant review in a newspaper or advertisement. No book of historic Florida restaurants would have any validity without the inclusion of The Columbia, Florida's oldest restaraunt. The Snapper Alicante is delicious. And everyone should try the Nicholson Farmhouse Restaraunt recipe for boiled peanuts for a taste of the old south that should not be missed. Many of the recipes are based around fish and vegetables that are particularly plentiful in Florida such as snapper, grouper and okra. I enjoyed the book because it really reflects Florida cooking and with supermarkets stocked so well I can cook the recipes no matter where I live. Answer:
A: Positive


Q: Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: For the Naked Notebook Review: I bought this way back in September of 05, and would definitely recommend this for anyone buying a 15inch laptop. For the 5 years of constant abuse it has held up fantastically. Sure they're a small hole or two around the seems and the leather zipper tag, is almost gone, but the core sleeve itself does a fantastic job of securing the laptop. Being that i purchased this along with a bag for a laptop, i decided i wanted extra safety factor for the laptop since i was using it for school. I still use it today to secure my laptop even though both are reaching its 5th birthday. Answer:
