The much-hyped Guinness World Record Gamer’s Edition has finally launched, featuring the gaming exploits of many competitive and casual gamers.
There are a lot of dubious records in the list about games and gaming companies, such as “The 64 bit question,” a “record” that states Metroid was the only major Nintendo franchise without an N64 version.
Despite the odd nature of many of the records, they at least managed to work in e-sports related records such as “First gaming clan to legally bind their players,” a title that went to SK-Gaming.
Hit the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition site to peep all the records.
The Guinness Book of World Records Gamer’s Edition that Wire reported on back in September will be released Feb. 8.
I have this theory that every circle of friends has one person that is hailed as the worlds greatest at such and such game. For a while my circle of friends thought that I was the best at Street Fighter Alpha 3, until I went to a tournament and got clowned on. My friend John thinks he is the best at StarCraft, until he played on the Korean servers.
Well all these ridiculous claims can be put to rest in February. This book is the first of (hopefully) yearly installments of the Gamer’s Edition.
If you’re interested, check out the interactive preview. I know that I’ll be working to beat Street Fighter Alpha 3 as fast as possible with Zangief.
