BradyGames
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BradyGames is a publishing company in the United States operating as an imprint of Dorling Kindersley, which specialises in video game strategy guides, covering multiple video game platforms. BradyGames published their first strategy guide in November of 1993 and has grown to publish roughly 90-100 guides per year. Competitors include Prima Games and Piggyback Interactive.
In the US, most BradyGames strategy guides range from $14.99 to $19.99. The company occasionally offers two different versions of the same guide: one regular and one limited edition (which usually contains bonus items like a CD soundtrack or separate book containing art from the respective game). The guides are often criticized for inaccuracy with gameplay and story elements.
