Why Should I Buy? – Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide

By Leave a Comment

Just the day after I received my Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector’s Edition, the accompanying strategy guide arrived. Now that it’s here, why buy the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector’s Edition strategy guide over the paperback? As you can tell from just the images and the cover of the video below, the hardcover is quite nice. So there is that for starters. But what else does it have?

There is a tangible item and the book itself has some extras over the paperback edition. Watch below and see what you get and decide for yourself if it’s enough to warrant the extra money.

DOOM Strategy Guide Review

By Leave a Comment

DOOM strategy guide reviewWithout a doubt, DOOM is my shooter of the year for 2016. Bethesda and id have done so much to get back on track with the Doom franchise, and DOOM does exactly that. It hits all those lovely nostalgic notes all while keeping the gameplay fast and fresh. I cannot wait for the inevitable sequels to come. That said, however, how does the DOOM strategy guide stack up in comparison?

The DOOM strategy guide does a lot well, but a few things frustrated me too much to give the overall guide that perfect score. Actually, in that regard, it’s a lot like the video game itself. Our DOOM strategy guide review goes over all of that, and I try not to talk too quickly. I think I failed in that regard.

And ignore the page torn out of the book. Toddlers and strategy guides just don’t mix. There’s your PSA of the day, folks.

Hyrule Warriors Legends Strategy Guide Review

By Leave a Comment

Hyrule Warriors Legends strategy guide review Since the strategy guide for Hyrule Warriors was pretty darn great, I had high hopes for the Hyrule Warriors Legends strategy guide. Most of it should fall in line with the first guide/game, just now with Linkle, additional missions, new Adventure mode maps, and amiibo info. In other words, these guys didn’t have it easy, even if they had a base guide, if you will, to fall back on. The Hyrule Warriors Legends strategy guide does a lot to keep me happy, but I had a beef to grind with it as well. A small beef. It’s so small, those ladies from the 80s are asking where it is.

Unboxing the DOOM Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide – Why Should I Buy?

By Leave a Comment

I’ve made no attempt to disguise how much I love Collector’s Editions, especially with strategy guides. I try to get the Collector’s Editions of all the strategy guides that I can, even when I don’t receive one as a review copy. They’re always more expensive than the regular guides, but they always have so many extras that they’re worth it. There’s always a beautiful hardcover, and usually some physical goodies like bookmarks or fold-out maps or even extra artwork or developer interviews in the back.

For whatever reason, the DOOM Collector’s Edition strategy guide has barely anything to make the extra $15 worth it. I’m not pleased. I’m close to livid. I explain why you shouldn’t buy this Collector’s Edition strategy guide and what Collector’s Editions should contain below. Apologies for the Keri-torial at the end.

May the content be far better than what the CE offers.
