A Video Game Strategy Guide Will Make You Invincible

February 17th, 2009

In the compex world of video games, strategy guides aren’t considered over-the-top any more. If you want to be a winner at any action game a video strategy guide is a must have item. Ideally, most game player want to overcome a video game by their own efforts alone. With today’s extremely challenging games, you can get some props for facing such a difficult task. Your friends will be amazed if you don’t have to consult a single video game strategy guide while playing your favorite game.

Believe it or not I’ve been using video game cheats and strategy guides since I had the original 8-bit Nintendo. The game cheats we used back in the day were pretty old-fashioned. There were only eight buttons that you could push, so every video game cheat was a combination of up, down, left, right, b, a, select, and start. They were very simple to remember, and we were always trading them with our friends. We would often find one by accident.

Some of the video game makers even published video game strategy guides as well as manufacturers like Nintendo. They were really useful for games like The Legend of Zelda. These games would have a long series of riddles that you had to solve and adventures that you had to complete. The video game strategy guide was a real help when you got lost. These guides didn’t give emphasis to cheats so much as tell how to find the solution to the riddles.

Video game strategy guides come in handy for the PC games that are available in mass quantities too. I remember that I used to take pleasure in playing the King’s Quest games. The games were so hard it took a video game strategy guide to get your way through. A video game strategy guide for popular game such as this can be more than 100 pages long. They were more like books than “guides.” The games were already so complex that it was like reading a novel to find your way through the maze.

The trends haven’t changed as video game makers produce more complicated video games needing more complex video game strategy guides. I remember when I bought the Empire Earth strategy guide a number of years ago. It was at least one hundred fifty pages long! I’ve heard that this is not exceptional for video game strategy guides nowadays either. Some of them are even bigger. Still, I guess that’s what you need to get through a complex video game.

If you have figured it out yet you would probably have to have the IQ of Einstein to be able to make it through the compexities of today’s video games without a video game strategy guide. My suggetion would be to not use your video game strategy guide until you could go no farther so you don’t take away the the ultimate challenge of your video game. You got the video game in the first place for that main reason didn’t you? Break out your video game strategy guide when you don’t know what to do next and get to where you need to go.
