Quantum Break Strategy Guide Review

By Leave a Comment

Quantum Break strategy guide reviewWhen I was reviewing Quantum Break for work, I said to myself more than once that I would love for their to be a strategy guide for the game, simply for the collectibles. There are an incredible amount, and while most are relatively simple to find, just as many are rather hidden. Or, as I discovered, can only be found when you make certain choices. So I was rather elated when I learned that Prima was in fact releasing such a strategy guide for the masses.

Unfortunately, when I opened the book, I was rather disappointed with all it contained. Or should I say, what it didn’t contain. Sadly, my first impressions didn’t really improve as I used it in my second playthrough of the game.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide Announced

By Leave a Comment

The PlayStation Gear Store has announced a Collector’s Edition for the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End strategy guide, which looks absolutely stunning.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Collector's Edition strategy guide

I had a feeling Prima Games was crafting together a Collector’s Edition for the strategy guide, since they did put together a nice one for Uncharted 3. However, unlike that CE, this one doesn’t include as many tangible perks.

In addition to the rather gorgeous hardcover, the Collector’s Edition will also include a pirate sigil coin in silver. The PlayStation Gear Store also lists the following will be included, which all also should be part of the paperback strategy guide as well:

  • Complete walkthrough: 100% coverage of the entire adventure!
  • Detailed maps: Illustrated maps of every area, along with tactical advice and advanced playing strategies.
  • Find everything: Locate all the treasures and collectibles.
  • Multiplayer coverage: Packed with tips and strategies for conquering opponents in every mode.
  • Free mobile-friendly eGuide! Includes a code to access the eGuide, a web-access version of the complete guide optimized for a second-screen experience.

For a price tag of $40, you have to offer a bit more than what is in the paperback guide, and a silver coin and hardcover just aren’t enough. Are the maps special fold-out maps that only appear in the CE? Is the coin real silver? Is it solid silver? Are the maps cloth maps? Is there special art in the back that’s only in the CE?

We need a bit more information before boarding the hype train just yet. Don’t get me wrong; the cover is beautiful, and the coin looks pretty darn cool too, but not $40 beautiful and cool.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will release on May 10, 2016.

Hyrule Warriors Legends Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide – Why Buy?

By Leave a Comment

The 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors is finally out—Hyrule Warriors Legends—and that means a new strategy guide is out too. There is only the Hyrule Warriors Legends Collector’s Edition strategy guide available for the 3DS game, and if you already own the first game on the Wii U or even the strategy guide, you may wonder why bother picking up this one as well. I know not everyone is as crazy as I am for all things Zelda.

I unboxed the new strategy guide and compared it to the original guide for the Wii U. There are some stark differences, one being thickness. Check it out below.

I do apologize for how out of it and how out of breath I am in the video. In case you were curious, stomach flu is the absolute worst.

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess HD Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide – Why Should I Buy?

By Leave a Comment

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess for the Wii U released last Friday, giving me hope that maybe I will indeed finish this game this time. And then the collector’s edition of the strategy guide appeared, which did make me squeal with delight. But why buy this collector’s edition when Twilight Princess has had other strategy guide collector’s editions? There are actually a few reasons, and only one of them is because of the different control scheme compared to the Wii.

I hope to have a full review rather soon, at least soon for The Legend of Zelda. These games area always long, but I always wanted to finish this one. Don’t point out I said the same for Wind Waker. Just don’t.

Far Cry Primal Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide – Why Should I Buy?

Okay, so I should have realized before recording that this is the only print version of the Far Cry Primal strategy guide. That right there is enough reason to buy the Far Cry Primal Collector’s Edition strategy guide. But!

Is that enough reason to buy it? I mean, with a title like Collector’s Edition, you’d expect more than your average guide, and I don’t mean just a pretty hardcover. Let’s take a look, shall we?

The Far Cry Primal Collector’s Edition strategy guide released on February 23, 2016. Our review should be up soon.
