Prima Games’ Darksiders II eGuide Includes Print Guide DLC

August 17, 2012 By Keri Honea 2 Comments

Prima Games Darksiders 2 eguide

One of the perks to buying a copy of Prima Games’ strategy guide for Darksiders II is the inclusion of an exclusive weapon, the Crowhammer. It seemed at first to be a perk over the publisher’s e-Guide, which is also for sale. But according to the lovely email that landed in my inbox this morning, this is most definitely not the case!

If you prefer an electronic guide over a printed book, then you can still acquire the exclusive Crowhammer weapon. So if you were conflicted as to which guide to purchase because you really wanted to smack around some enemies with a giant hammer with crows, then be conflicted no more.

I prefer printed books, so I was always in the clear. [Insert Nelson laugh here.]

June 29, 2012 By Keri Honea Leave a Comment

Civilization V: Gods & Kings expansion strategy guideA whole new strategy guide for an expansion to a game? Sounds crazy, but it’s true! BradyGames has indeed released a strategy guide dedicated to the Civilization V: Gods & Kings expansion.

Their official press release can be found below.

BradyGames is pleased to announce the official Sid Meier’s Civilization® V: Gods & Kings Strategy Guide. Released on June 19, 2012, Civilization V: Gods & Kings is the massive expansion pack for Civilization V, the latest installment in the popular turn-based strategy franchise from 2K Games and Firaxis Games. Achieve world domination with the official BradyGames guide as it covers the updates and changes from Civilization V Game of the Year Edition, all Civilization V downloadable content, and the robust Gods & Kings expansion.

The guide is available both in print and for download, depending on what tickles your fancy. I own Civ V, but I haven’t played it yet because I’m scared of the time sink it will create.

Be Aware! LEGO Batman 2 Strategy Guide Does NOT Include Guides for Handhelds

June 27, 2012 By Keri Honea Leave a Comment

LEGO Batman 2 strategy guide

See that? Right there in the lower corner?

After my experiences with both LEGO Star Wars III and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, you’d think that by now I’d know that the handheld versions of LEGO games differ from the console versions. When I picked up the LEGO Batman 2 strategy guide, I flipped through it to make sure this was no different.

I should have looked more closely.

I was looking for tab markers on the edges, where the table of contents are listed, to designate a separate section for handheld games. When I didn’t see one, I assumed this meant all versions were covered, so I didn’t bother picking up a PS3 copy of the game. If only I had looked at the front of the guide, in the bottom left corner, where it distinctly says that the guide covers PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii versions. In the middle of the guide there is a leaflet with a code to download an e-guide for the handheld games from Prima‘s website.

See what happens when you don’t read? On the bonus side, however, this means I have an opportunity to get two separate Platinum trophies…

BradyGames Has iBook Strategy Guides??

April 25, 2012 By Keri Honea Leave a Comment

BradyGames tweeted this morning about picking up their Darkness II strategy guide on iBooks, and I about did a double-take. Electronic guides are obviously nothing new, but on iBooks? Really? Sho’ enuff.

Not only did that surprise me, but the fact that this isn’t even their first iBook guide shocked me. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 strategy guide was in fact their first iBook.

It’s an interesting new option for e-guides, as I found that using PDF files on my iPad sometimes loses a lot of the links the PDFs have embedded. With iBooks, at least there will be no conversion when it comes to using an iPad or iPhone for the guides.

That doesn’t help me when I use my Kindle Fire, but now I’m just getting picky.
