Gamertell Review: Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008 book
Product: Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008
Price: $19.95
Pros: A good-looking book with plenty of pretty pictures, trivia and, oh yeah, some world records.
Cons: This is more a trivia book with some fan gushing (and opinions) than a catalog of game-related world records. Some of the rankings are questionably subjective and it’s missing references to a few key consoles and Apple products.
Overall: A fun coffee table book with plenty of game-related trivia but not the all-encompassing catalog of world records you’d expect from Guinness.
Score: 7 out of 10
Bragging rights. Guinness’ published world records are the ultimate catalog of bragging rights. Sure, you usually think of wacky stunts, impossibly long fingernails, really fat dudes and that one weird episode of Happy Days. Get down to it and the Guinness book of world records is all about bragging rights no matter the craziness being recorded.
Sure, this is an extremely interesting and entertaining read, but I’m not completely convinced the 2008 Gamer’s Edition of the Guinness World Records book does proper justice to the game industry or to world records…
