Default Buying the Guide

Now, I'll start by saying I NEVER buy guides for games.

This one is different. With all there is to do it makes things so much easier. I bought it after my first playthrough so as not to blow any spoilers.

But with things like detailed planet layouts and helpful hints on stuff you would never guess, anyone looking to get 1000/1000 GS should pick this up.

Very helpful. The detailed planet surface pictures become invaluable as you track down those resources, and the info is neatly organized.

No different than using GameFaqs.

I recommend not using it till your second playthrough. I didn't use it on my first and am glad.

I've got the strategy guide, art of Mass Effect and Mass Effect Revelations. Strategy guide helps on getting all the missions and knowing where crates, minerals and whatnot might lie. Big part is getting all the quests, especially the ones I skipped the first time through.
