Format:Paperback
Was not 100% sure what kind of info a World Records book on videogames could contain, but was bored with it after a few pages. (but read more than 1/2 of it, hoping it would get better at some point!)
I think they were extremely stretched to think of different categories for "records" so you have totally uninteresting, overly-specific and random things like "first use of a HUD in a Canadian FPS featuring a mouse" or "highest selling Pac-Man clone released in the former Soviet Union on a Wednesday", that sort of thing.
Even that makes it sound more interesting, quirky and informative than it actually is. Pages and pages are wasted telling you what different genres mean (like what is a FPS?, what is a platforming game?, etc) and other such irrelevant nonsense to fill up some space, and there are numerous interviews with people who have nothing interesting or new to contribute to the history of gaming.
Really boring for the average games enthusiast (even someone like me who is quite "into" video games), but it may be of some interest to real bona fide fanboys and nerds. Maybe.
