Hey all,
I figured we could use a thread for any and all literature concerned with our gaming hobby.
Outside of my missing Nintendo Power issues and the countless Game Informers previously clogging up my shelves, I've acquired two standout pieces for my reading pleasure:
1. Dragon Quest Illustrations by Akira Toriyama
As many of you are aware, I am an avid Dragon Quest fan and to see this massive compilation of illustrations throughout the core series and its spinoffs immediately enticed me to buy it. It is in Japanese only but this compilation boasts the utmost illustrative quality and is sure to appease any longtime fan of the series.
2. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Legendary Edition
While many are quick to dismiss Ocarina of Time as 'overrated' and 'underwhelming,' I have respected the title for the sense of grandeur and adventure it allotted to players and its impact on the industry as a whole. That sense of adventure translates surprisingly well into a manga format especially when the authors take creative liberties to spruce things up by making appropriate changes that don't severely compromise the integrity of the source material. This comic book is quite literally a book and spans the entirety of the core Ocarina of Time storyline with bonus material and has me very excited for the next release in the series: Oracle of Seasons and Ages.
What unique gaming literature have you amassed and perused in your time as game enthusiasts?
