I've been buying and reading alot of guides lately and I've noticed a trend. A lot of these Prima guides seem to be written by this Fernando Bueno guy (this guide's author). I don't know why they keep giving him these assignments, because if you scan the reviews of this guide and the other ones he has authored you'll see a lot of poor reviews. I know it's not really nice to call someone out personally, but it's not right that this guy can keep putting out such a shoddy, low-quality product that gives gamers nothing of value.
Basically, if you get a Prima guide written by Fernando Bueno you can be guaranteed that it will be a dumbed-down, watered-down mess. He uses language and slang that is about the reading level of a 10-year-old, which is a real insult to the intelligence of anyone with higher than a 5th-grade reading level. Also, his guides are light on substance and rely mostly on gimmicky sidebars which could have easily just been presented in a bullet-point format. Instead these "nuggets" of insight are presented with an exaggerated font and cheap flair so that they take up more space on the page than they are worth. I've now read several guides by this Fernando Bueno guy and they are all the same: poor quality, dumbed-down products which at best provide nothing worth reading, and at worst provide misleading, inaccurate "tips".
Bottom line: if you see a guide you're considering to buy, and the author is "Fernando Bueno" - don't buy it. You'll be sorry you did, and you'll just be encouraging Prima to put out more worthless guides by this two-bit hack. If you don't believe me, just read the other reviews; you'll be glad you did.
