Publisher's summary

"A giant leap forward for the entry-level PC Gamer. It will decrease your rage, increase your free time, and save you money."

"I thought this book was well written and helpful to someone like me; a noob level gamer who can only spare so much money on their PC …."

Pwning N00bs is the beginner's guide to PC gaming hardware, strategy, and tactics. In the sport of online gaming, the obvious difference between "pwner" and "pwnee" is the level of skill that each brings to the battlefield. Skill can take hundreds or thousands of hours to develop, or it can take only a few dozen.

After spending $50 on the hottest new game, why not spend a few dollars to help you play it well?

You will learn how to optimize your stock system for maximum gaming performance, no matter what games you play, or what hardware you are running.

This guide will teach you how to configure your games, and improve your skills, so that you will:

  • See the enemy - before he sees you.
  • Hear the enemy - before he hears you.
  • Kill the enemy - before he kills you.

Aren't you tired of being pwned? Get the Guide, and turn the tide.

Critic reviews

Pwning N00bs . . . centers around building a respectable gaming-PC that can maintain performance, without spending the defence-budget of a small country. I would gladly give a copy to an older relative as an introduction to upgrading his PC. The second half dedicates itself to the actual gaming. Tips on how to go about learning a new game . . . there are the nice tips regarding hardware and mentality when approaching the world of competitive online gaming . . . . For that alone, this book is worth the three quid it costs for the Kindle version.” ( UK Gaming Daily)

Not a full game guid

Covers war-game and 'battlefield' online multiplayer games. Not games like Mass Effect, HALO, EVE Online, or any 'Sword and Sorcery' games like World of Warcraft or Guild Wars.

Not everything applies outside those games.

I actually prefer the hardware section...
