It's a shame that the book is never as good as the drink!

I can't see why it wouldn't be accurate. The Guinness book of world records is accurate as far as I know.... So why wouldn't this be?

We would have to question a lot of the claims on old school games. Guinness requires documentation, something that hasn't been going on that much, especially in the early days of the consoles. Is that speed run really the fastest? Someone could have the best run but due to lack of any documentation, we can only get who did it the fastest this decade.

Plus, it would be really tough to make some rules. I would personally deny any records made on an emulator since it is no longer under the conditions the game was made to be played under.

because it's hard to use emulators and hacks to fake long fingernail growth or how many times you can hold your breath before you pass out.

lol, in the preview the book seems cool. Not something I would buy, but I would borrow it for toilet literature.

I think it's great this book is being made, not because I care which korean has the biggest score in DDR, but because it's undenniable proof that the gameing industry is growing bigger and bigger as the years go by.

I bet Jack Thompson makes it in there as Gaming's biggest enemy. Then he'll try to sue because he doesn't like being associated with video games.

For pretty much any single-player feat, they would have to be there to see it, and any online multiplayer feats would have to be conducted on network services with strong measures against cheating

looks pretty well put together, I'll probably grab a copy when it's out. And it seems to be made in colaboration with Twin Galaxies, so thats some added cred bonus.

Every single name in the book will be Korean.

Except under "biggest sellout" there will be a picture of Fatal1ty whoring some new gamer drink.

It states that Super Mario World is the best selling 32 bit game of all time. Schmucks.

Um... it's flawed. It says Super Mario World was a 32-bit game, there are 12 Mario Party games, and 8 Mario Kart games. WTF?

Mario Party:
"The game has spawned seven console sequels with Mario Party 8 being the most recent one; there have also been Arcade, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and e-Reader versions, making a total of twelve games in the series."

Mario Kart:
"To date, there have been seven Mario Kart games, with the latest installment, Mario Kart Wii, due for release sometime in 2008. Ign.com recently changed the placeholder date to Q2 2008, due to lack of info. released about the game." (That's eight counting MKWii.)

I love Wikipedia.
