I remember when I was just a little lad I always used to get a copy of the Guinness World Records book each year but it's been a long while now since I looked at one. This release therefore managed to slip right past me until it flashed up on TV.
Today saw the UK release of the very first Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition containing obscure and sometimes humorous facts plus trivia about all kinds of games. Ever wondered what the most downloaded demo is on Xbox LIVE? Bioshock, with over 1 million downloads in its first month. Longest ban on LIVE? The gamertag 'Scar' is apparently banned until 31st December 9999! Mario's first love interest? Pauline in the original Donkey Kong game, although they are just friends now. Best selling handheld racing game? Of course it's Mario Kart DS with 7.83 million copies sold. Wipeout Pure on the PSP as a comparison has sold 1 million.
It actually doesn't look like a bad little book and you can get a sneak peak here. Anyone buying this?
