Warhammer Online Guide and Atlas Bundle Review

Posted Tue, Oct 07, 2008 by Ralsu

Evolution of Strategy Guides

Prima Games has been making strategy guides for a while now and understands the challenges of creating useful guides for MMOGs. So when Prima Games set out to make their strategy guide and atlas for Warhammer Online; Age of Reckoning (WAR), they wanted to make their product as fluid as the game it covered. Trying to capitalize on the advantages of online gaming networks such as Ten Ton Hammer, Prima developed both electronic and print products with the most current up-to-gold information possible and the opportunity to pay a one-time flat price for online updates to their eGuides.

Did Prima succeed in their goal to make their WAR Guide and Atlas Bundle useful for months to come? Does the addition of online updates make the purchase worth the price?

The result of Prima's collaboration with Mythic is a guide that is very text-heavy. Races are not merely described with utilitarian bullet points. The history, beliefs and struggles of each race appears in the pages of the 335-page guide.
