Review: Well, I'd award zero stars if I could. Honestly, I haven't read the book but I can't imagine what it's like after meeting the man and seeing his presentation earlier today at XGDX. I can guarantee the two positive reviews are definitely planted by promoters. BTW, just because a book sells out doesn't mean it sold that many copies... they could've only had a dozen on hand... I don't know anyone in the industry (yes, I work in the game industry) that was eagerly anticipating this title.One section I have read is the chapter where he reviews the game engines. In particular, I can comment on his review of RenderWare because I work for Criterion (makers of RenderWare). His review said plenty of nice things. Of course, we wrote them. All of the game engine reviews were nothing more than a cut-n-paste job from the websites of the engine. This is incredibly evident in the changes in voice between the reviews ("We" is used in one) and the 100% positive spin on all of the engines (only a few have been used in commercial games -- they can't all be that great). Not sure who edited this, but they definitely let one slip by...
