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.

Lots of fluff, little in the way of records
I really wanted to like this book, and in a way I do. I admire it as a concept rather than in its execution. Read more

A book that your gamer will read!
Even if they are reading about gaming they are not sitting in front of a screen. Buying from Amazon you save a little to pay for the games they find in the book. LOL

Fun
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.
