High-Res .pdf of the reviewers guide

Not the actual Bradygames Guide, but the one they send to media that review games.

As a games journalist, it’s pretty common for new games to just appear on my doorstep. Usually these are simple packages including the game, maybe a t-shirt and a few pieces of loose-leaf glossy paper pointing out whichever features of the game the PR team wants to make sure I pay special attention to when I’m writing up my review.
However, when a publisher wants to really drive home the point that this game is something special, they put in the extra effort to create a reviewer’s guide that would be the envy of many fans. Like this one for Dead Rising 2. Unfortunately, these things are generally totally unavailable to the average person. Today I received one such guide for Capcom’s just-released Street Fighter X Tekken, and I thought it would be a shame for the nearly 50-page booklet to be wasted on jaded journalist-types like myself.
Thus, after getting permission from Capcom’s helpful PR team, I’ve managed to secure a high-resolution downloadable .pdf version of the guide. That image you see at top is just a tiny glimpse of the gorgeous art and helpful information prepared specifically for the guide, so I urge any of you interested in the game to download this thing and have a look. It’s not quite a strategy guide, but it provides an excellent primer on what you’ll find in the game, and to be totally honest, does a really great job of hyping fans of either Street Fighter or Tekken for this unexpectedly good mashup fighter.

What saddens me about this is this is what game manuals that came with games used to look like. Now you get a game, the fucken manual is just a licensing agreement and tells you what each button is for your console…

Bumping this up for folks who haven’t seen. Excellent resource. I was gonna say, that this should have been the manual. I’m even contemplating printing it out in booklet form to replace the travesty that is the current game manual.

Amen, this guide was much better than the actual game manual.
