I was thinking about picking up the guide for this game at the same time as getting the game?  Is there any good reason to get it other than the colorful pictures?  I normally just use the FAQ's on GameFAQs whenever I need to reference something but I swear I read something somewhere once about the Wizard Compendium being nice to have for this game.  Then again, now that I think about it, the guide and the Wizard Compendium are probably two separate things, right?

Is there a list of the games by both their overall rankings as well as by their system ranking? So, for example, if Super Mario Galaxy is ranked 28 of 43570 games overall and 3 of 759for the Wii system, is there a "overall" list available that I can view as well as a complete Wii rankings list too? If somethng like this doesn't already exist, I think it would be a great idea to make it available. You could even just use any games current ranking as the hyperlink to this list. Hopefully, this makes sense.
