WoW Guides
Guides We Like
Everyone may not be familiar with the idea of an addon guide, but anyone who has gamed for at least a little bit is definitely familiar with the ‘hints, strategy (cheat) guide. Prima probably has been a contributor to your video game library at some point or another, if you’ve ever been serious about finishing a game that just seemed ‘unbeatable’…
In any event- here’s some summaries to the most notable guide vendors. Look forward to in-depth reviews soon!
Zygor Guides
Zygor is my current personal favorite- the reason is simple: John “Zygor” really cares about his gaming, his product and his customers. The quality shows through. As does the ease of use. I have leveled very quickly with their content, and found the “don’t think just play” attitude to be quite helpful- as my gaming time is a little limited at times– so it’s good to be able to ‘hit the ground running’ as it were..
With their recent and extensive (and first!) updates for all things involving The Shattering, then Cataclysm- I am still of the opinion these are the guys to beat…

Dugi’s WoW Guides
http://wow-guides.net/go/dugi/
Dugi is a close second on the guide scene- I think he has better marketing techniques and is more plugged into how to use social media to market himself– but his latest update to the product line, to make it ‘Cataclysm ready’ has really impressed me! Gone are the clunky multi-downloads, he finally has a streamlined process (like Zygor has had for a long while). However, his interface is still not quite as professional as the Zygor product. However, what Dugi lacks in the programming finesse, he more than makes up for in his blog and social media info. Who says you have to be loyal to JUST ONE guide? (other than your pocketbook, I suppose)…. He is an EXCELLENT choice, either as a primary guide or backup guide.
The Other Guys
There are several other contenders, and I will be including them as time goes on..They are not wannabe’s, necessarily- but they have some big boots to fill compared to Zygor or Dugi..I look forward to how they each up their game, now that Cataclysm may give them a chance to improve their products…
