October 18, 2021Here in this verified purchase, as in every title bearing his name, this lacklustre "author" plumbs new depths with his hackneyed trademark trash.
It begs the question as to how much further he can lower his standards.
When each publication sets you back on your heels with the constant cut and paste style reviewing with snippets lifted sometimes verbatim from many of his other titles, you think things cannot get any worse.
But then he releases another lamentable creation and surprises everyone by sinking deeper into the mire of grammatical horrors, childish spelling and wildly inaccurate facts that seem to be his preferred style.
With no obvious aspirations to aim for the higher quality, he seems to be more inclined to lean toward quantity first as he floods the virtual shelves of the internet with this sub-par nonsense.
Padding each "review" out with the bare minimum of "facts" gleaned from Wikipedia, he meets a word count and then stops writing.
Would that he had never started.
If juvenile maunderings are your thing then dive straight in, but if you are a true gaming devotee, turn on your heel and beat a hasty retreat from this and/or any other title bearing the name of this walking insult to the retro scene and the written word.

Copy-and-paste reviews from Mr Hawken's other books, with terrible spelling and grammar added to the mix. This is a book to avoid at all costs.
