Sounds like a fairly entertaining read, I'll have to look out for it when I recover from the January sales.

From the headline, I thought they were going to make a video game based off of Guinness World Records.

Now THAT would be cool. Or not.

At least very easy to make. Steal some Minigame Ideas from Raving Rabbids, the Jackass Game and Random Olympia titles and stretch thier length over hours...


I'm not very fascinated by that book. The only Guiness Book of Records i possess had a fairly good gaming session, and although i find certain speedrun and highscore Videos on Youtube fairly entertaining, the idea of having a book full of Game-Highscores, Sales Numbers and some mildly interesting anecdotes sounds boring to me
