have announced a new addition to their Signature Series and Limited Editions. Bioshock 2 will have its own guide, which will be available from the 9th February.
But what will they have to offer us this time?
BradyGames announced today that they have been working alongside 2K Games on the BioShock 2 Signature Series guide. They had this to say:
The only officially-licensed, 256-page Signature Series survival guide (Limited Edition is 272-pages) features a comprehensive walkthrough of the entire single-player campaign; extensive area maps including the location of every secret, safe and enhancement; in-depth listings of all items, weapons and Plasmids; expert multiplayer maps and tactics so that gamers can dominate online; full Achievements and Trophies listed; and with the hardcover Limited Edition Guide also offering one of two sets of 8×10 lithographs of stunning BioShock 2-themed art bundled with each hardcover guide [...] and will be released alongside the game on 9th February 2010, with an RRP of £12.99 for the Signature Series book and £19.99 for the Limited Edition hardcover that includes bonus content.
By the sounds of it, BradyGames are putting a lot of effort into making this guide as comprehensive as the rest of their collection.
How many of you use strategy guides? If you don’t, what would it take for you to get one?
Blah I hate game guides, they shouldnt be available until a year after release, or by prescription from your yousuckatthinking for yourself doctors. Oh my, could a bad guide break a game? Is this what happens when ‘big name’ reviewers tank a game, they couldnt understand the guide? If a game is advocating a guide, perhaps it is quite challenging, or is iit worried investers? Hopefully this rant will encourage response/debate on the matter. I would hate to not hear from a free thinker…
The only guides I have bought are the MGS guides, and I only buy them once I have at least finished the games. I like the MGS guides as there is just so much hidden throughout each game, that I really enjoy playing through again while looking for all the extra cool stuff.
Ahh, you are redeemed, thanks for reminding me that after a playthrough you are elgible for a game guide without the restriction of waiting for the one year rule. Also, this gives me the opportunity to remind developers that trophies are a clever opportunity to lead your players to your hiddem gems rather than on some generally mindless, skillless benchmark trophy. If you are a PS3A reading developer and still do not understand this concept, I will willingly offer my suggestions. Last but not least, the MGS trophies make a wonderful attempt at…..OH YEA….where are those trophies at?????
