I don’t know whether to say that we all should have seen this coming, or to ask who in the heck in their right mind saw this coming. Guinness World Records and the video game industry have been such lovey-dovey bedfellows lately, all stemming from the release of the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamers Edition back in February.
Well now it looks like the tables are being turned and the video game industry is hooking into the Guinness franchise in the form of a Wii/DS game from Warner Bros. It might not be the craziest idea though, when you sit down and really think of it. All the zany records that are in the book, available for competition and play in a series of short stunts and challenges that sees you compete against others around the world for records.
