“Must-have” Guinness Gamer’s Edition 2010 Coming In January

Apparently the 2010 Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition is “a must-have for fans of gaming,” according to some gaming blog.

The quote on the cover of the 2010 version of the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition actually comes from a post Crecente wrote earlier this year on the 2009 version of the book. The full quote is “With entries for professional gaming, top selling games in history, the history of hardware and Guitar Hero, the Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer’s Edition looks to be a must have for fans of gaming.”

And it did look to be such, before they started making up records like ‘Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever.’ Still, the book does feature a number of more tangible and less marketing-focused records, so it’s still the perfect bathroom reading book for gamers.

Let’s see them use that quote.

The book will be out in North America on January 4th, and the UK on January 21st.

    I have the first two sitting next to my toilet, they’re absolutely awful garbage. So many idiotic records, “First Game to use stealth with a terrorist setting and featuring more than 13 guns.”, “Hardest boss in a final fantasy game”, How bloody objective can they be?? These aren’t “Records”, they’re just “arbitrary information”.

    I will buy the new one when it comes out.
