The 14th edition of the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition is packed full facts, news and statistics. The Contents page counts down the Top 100 gaming records picked by video experts with 100 being the first dog to hold a speedrun record, 50 being the Most Platinumed PlayStation game: Marvel’s Spider-man: Be Greater and Number One, the best-selling video game, Minecraft. For many young readers hearing the Minecraft is number one will be no surprise and the fact that Mario features at Number Two as the most ubiquitous videogame character will also not be a surprise. Following the countdown is a Round up page where late last-minute gaming additions were added to the Records Database. These include the largest shiny Pokémon hunt, smallest handheld console and the largest collection of video game kiosks - just to name a few.

For children and indeed adults who game, this is a treasure trove of vital facts, figures, colourful images and trivia that will no doubt entertain and engage them for hours.

Themes: Gaming, Compendium, Facts.
