De c�teva minute am terminat de citit cartea (mă rog...almanahul): Guinness World Records 2010 - Gamer's Edition.
...am citit o tonă de chestii interesante din toate punctele de vedere [acest almanah va avea un mare impact asupra lucrării mele de disertație/dizertație (ahahaha) - printre altele ...].

Un aspect interesant sunt recomandările ("Ten Games You Sould Play in This Genre..."). M-am g�ndit să deschid un topic interactiv �n care să le expun, așa cum sunt ele prezentate...pe categorii și sub-categorii, pentru a le putea vedea (și eventual juca) și cei care n-au acces la cărțulie ...(sper să-mi iasă).

Personal, am găsit c�teva titluri pe care le-am omis și pe care cu prima ocazie am să le joc ...

Gata cu vorbăraia...că nu-mi găsesc cuvintele la ora asta (02.12 AM) și poate scriu prostii!

*o precizare: Vă rog să nu-mi săriți �n cap dacă printre cele zece jocuri recomandate nu se află vre-un joc preferat de voi. Eu redau doar ce scrie �n această ediție (și pun link-uri ajutătoare). Nu e niciun concurs, nu e niciun top, nu e niciun război �ntre silly fanboys. Sunt simple recomandări. Thanks.
