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

April 13, 2016 By Keri Honea 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.

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.

Unboxing the Quantum Break Strategy Guide

April 6, 2016 By Keri Honea Leave a Comment

It’s always a good day when a new strategy guide arrives, and today that book is the Quantum Break strategy guide. Or, as I should say, Quantum Break: The Secret History of Time Travel, as that is what the book is entitled.

So yes, it’s here, and what does it have for those looking to get that 100%? Well, this is what I can tell from first impressions:

Full review should be coming in the next week or so. If you’re playing Quantum Break, I hope you’re enjoying it. It’s definitely a one-of-a-kind experience.

New Strategy Guide for the Week of April 5th, 2016

April 5, 2016 By Keri Honea Leave a Comment

A new strategy guide is releasing TODAY, April 5, 2016 for Quantum Break. Prima Games kept this one under wraps for a long time and didn’t announce it until last week.

Only one edition will be released, a hardcover Collector’s Edition, which is currently listed at Amazon for $27.63. I wonder a bit if Prima is going the direction of Piggyback and Future Press, in that they will only release hardcover editions. This has kind of been the trend for several of the latest strategy guides.

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers Handheld Strategy Guide Review

March 9, 2016 By Keri Honea Leave a Comment

As promised, I sat and reviewed Prima Games’ eGuide for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, as this was the only way to find a strategy guide for the handheld version of the game. While I loathed the handheld version, something I state way too much in this video, the strategy guide for the most part did what it could to help players get through the ridiculous collectibles in the game. I don’t mean that the number was ridiculous; I mean the types of collectibles themselves were ridiculous.

Without further ado, I present my thoughts on the handheld portion of the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers eGuide.

Street Fighter V Strategy Guide Review

Unlike my Fallout 4 strategy guide review, I was much faster at taking on the Street Fighter V strategy guide. You might have noticed on our Facebook page that I was pretty happy with how this guide was turning out. Well, that hype has not dwindled. Prima Games did a really nice job on this strategy guide. It’s seriously packed with a wealth of information that players of any skill level will appreciate. You can see the full review below!
