GearCrave Giveaway: Rough Guide to Video Games (x5)
If you haven’t yet heard of Rough Guides, you’re not alone. Having long ago reached critical mass in the UK, Rough Guides began as travel guides that were targeted at the informed traveler, not to students or high brow culturalists. In the 80s, the BBC picked up Rough Guides to develop a TV show, providing no nonsense introductions to subjects which had been poorly represented in the past. Fast forward to present, Rough Guides have reached a wide range of topics– and a wider geographic audience. Rough Guides reached out to GearCrave to share with us a new guide they’re releasing throughout the world, one that our readership will find instantly relevant– the Rough Guide to Video Games.
Before you form an impression on just what the Rough Guide to Video Games is, its important to note that this isn’t some dated guide with cheat codes and strategies. It is a “travel guide” through this history of video games, an in-depth look at the stories, the systems and the people that have built gaming into what it is today. In short, its the ultimate coffee table book for the geek in your life… Want one for your own coffee table? Rough Guides has offered to give away five free copies of the book to GearCrave readers. As always, you can find out how after the jump…
