Guinness World Records Gamers Edition 2011 Paperback – January 3, 2011

This book should be read by anyone with a passion for games. The book is divided into genre of game: adventure, RPG, MMO, FPS, etc. It actually spells everything out very clearly and will open your eyes to the world of gaming and the amazing records that are out there.Each page also contains a quote on the bottom and book encourages you to guess which game it came from. It is a clever way to test the reader's knowledge of gaming.This book is just a constant list of facts, which makes it very easy and friendly to read. It is one of those books you can leave on your coffee table and any random person can be entertained by reading any random page.I wish there was more input from Twin Galaxies. This book lists all the big records. Thinks like "first game to do THIS," "best selling game of THIS genre," "first publisher to do THIS," etc. Many speed run facts are posted, but I would have liked to seen smaller details from random games. Like, fastest lap of a random Mario Kart track or highest score in XYZ game. But then again, I guess this is what Twin Galaxies is for.Looking forward to the 2012 Edition.

My grandson wanted to buy this book at a book fair but it was more money than he had. I told him to check Amazon to see if it was available at a more affordable price. Within 15 minutes he had located, chosen, and ordered the book at a 40% savings! It was in his mailbox 3 days later. He is thrilled with the book, and I am thrilled with the price and convenience.

I enjoy getting little books like this every now and then. It has some interesting information and is pretty entertaining. It is just a little jumpy with the information layout.

My son loved this book!!!!! And the price is amazing. He was going to buy this book at his school book fair and it was $25 we got it on Amazon for 8. Now everytime my son wants a book he comes and asks me to look up the price on Amaxon first.

My son is a avid gamer, and asked for this for months. It was alot more at his school book fair and i would not buy it. What a great deal Amazon. The price was right and very fast shipping as usual. Thank you.

I am tired of writing what other knows already, so I am just going to cut and paste this version of exciting comment and review to everyone to read and gets the same boring imagination. Yea! Goog! wove it

kids liked it

your book is not (((( good)))) why?- the right edge is folded- the plastic cover from the right is not attached to book- there is a plaster from the back of the book- small Stickers attached from the back

I bought this book about a month ago and its pretty good just like the others. If you like video games and books u should buy this

coolest book for a real gamer. although as german with moderate knowledge of English it's worth it. love it so much.
