Customer Reviews

Useful and Depressing! - Unless you are a games genius! - Rated 4/5
I love this!! But it actually makes me feel pretty awful.....as I can now see how appallingly bad I am at computer games...well compared to some of the amazing scores and feats in this book!

But it isnt just scores, there are lots of game related facts like best sellers, rarest games, most expensive games etc. And it covers lots of platforms, from Playstation 3 to Mega Drive to arcarde units to PC games (lots of Warcraft stuff there). Plenty of online links and records to look at too.

Did you know Halo 3 became the fastest selling pre-ordered game, with pre-sales of a whopping 1.7 million?? Fact!

Makes you wonder why they haven't done this sort of thing before. It will probably make you go and buy some games you won't have just to try and beat some scores!!

Great for any gamer!! Or people who like lists and facts!! Buy buy buy! And its shiny (you can't see that on the photo).


Guinness goes gaming - Rated 3/5
This is a nice full-colour hardback book, put together with the professionalism you expect from Guinness. In terms of content though it's not quite the book I was hoping for. Rather than actual records, i'd describe most of the content as being gaming factoids, little mcnugget sized bits of trivia, most of which are common knowledge in the gamin g community. For example, does the fact that VIRTUA TENNIS was the first 3d tennis game justify including it as a world record? The claim the book makes of being 'the gamer's bible' also strikes me as silly, perhaps a more substantial book like The Video Games Guide could justifyt that claim but Guinness Gamer's Edition is far too lightweight for that. I think it might be aimed at a younger reader than me (thirties) and for those readers it's bitesize content might be more appealing.


Colourful, informative and fun! - Rated 5/5
Received this today and been reading quite a bit!
Very well written and colourful (important to me), with lots of useful information, not just records but reviews, histories, tips etc. It's like a condensed collection of all the good games magazines from 2007.

Importantly, the list of consultants used by Guinness is very impressive, with lots of well-known industry journalists/experts lending their writing experience to the articles, making it feel a lot more mature (I'm 30 BTW) and not just full of records and facts for children. Sometimes it feels like Edge, or more specifically the recent 100 Best Games book they released, which could be a good or bad thing depending on what you like.

All in all a great addition to anyone serious about their gaming, and wanting to know more about our favourite pastime, young or old.
