Prima Launches In-Game Steam Guides
by Brian Leahy, May 21, 2010 1:00am PDTPrima, longtime provider of video game strategy guides, will now be offering digital guides through Steam. Using the Steam overlay, guides can also be accessed within a game. The digital guides also include videos, which are obviously not available in print.
Images from the Left 4 Dead 2 digital guide from PrimaRegularly priced at $19.99, all guides are 50% off to celebrate the launch. Currently, guides are available for:
- Left 4 Dead 2
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2
- Just Cause 2
- Dragon Age: Origins
- Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
- Splinter Cell: Conviction
This is a great idea, but the Steam overlay also includes a web browser, which can be used to find the most up-to-date strategies, walkthroughs, cheats, and more for no additional charge around the Internet.
Still, as a consumer, it's nice to have the option of purchasing a professionally made digital guide along with a digital game.
