Win a copy of the Guinness World Records 2010 Gamer's Edition

You wouldn't have thought data like the greatest number of coins a person can balance on his elbow or the age of the oldest cat would be of much interest to people with lives to lead, but apparently they are. For some reason, everybody loves a good record.

Gamers seems to be fact lovers in particular, since enough people bought the Guinness World Records 2008 Gamer's Edition for the series to run to a second and now a third entry.

And it looks like a genuinely fascinating read, tackling the world of video games by genre this time rather than game and containing several extra features, such as a profile of Shigeru Miyamoto and the top 50 games of all time as voted for by visitors to the book's website.

The 2010 edition imparts the following sort of information:

a) The longest time spent playing an MMORPG is by Sara Lhadi, spent 16,799 hours playing Runescape between November 2004 and October 2009, averaging 9 hours 20 minutes of play a day. b) The least successful player of Tetris is accountant Christopher Hewitt, who between 1991 and 2009 played the game for an estimated 35,000 hours without ever making a line. c) The longest survival on a 6-star wanted level on Grand Theft Auto IV is 16 minutes and 16 seconds, achieved by Henrik Lindholm on the 13th April 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
