Title: Strategy Guides
Post by: Jack on April 12, 2006, 11:30:55 AM
Does anyone actually still buy strategy guides, especially considering the proliferation of websites like this one and especially GameFAQS.com which offer strategy guides for free?

I was at EB games today picking up my copy of TR Legend (woo hoo) and they continually pestered me to get the strat guide (with a 10% discount, wow-ee %4 off!). I didn't have the heart to tell them that since help for games is free online, only a fool or a rich person would buy a strategy guide.

Strategy guides aren't that big anymore. They were never big with me.( I never even owned one.) I usually play through a game without a guide the first time around and if it's really interesting then I'll consult the innumerable online guides.
