Evening Reading

by Brian Leahy, Sep 08, 2010 5:00pm PDT

Similar to StarCraft II, I've begun publishing multiplayer guides for Halo: Reach, which comes out next week. Are these things you enjoy reading? It's a bit selective as it requires a good amount of proficiency at a game to be able to write a guide, but it's definitely something the Shacknews team can look into producing for new games moving forward... if we happen to be skilled at them.

What other games would you like to see guides written for?
