From what I gather it's
 
ME:Revelation, ME1, ME:Ascencion, ME2, ME Retribution,ME3?
 
I'm planning on reading the books and then playing the games in chronological order. (Already beat both games once but got them on Steam again)

Yup, revelation, one, ascension, two, retribution.

The comics fit somewhere, too, I guess.

Thanks

I would recommend reading Relevation before ME1, then reading Ascension before ME2 and finally Retribution after ME2. The books don't outright spoil the games but they do build on characters and pieces of the fiction that were introduced in them.
 
edit: or maybe that's what you meant :P
oh well

Thanks guys, pretty much decided to get the books because of this thread. Now i can actually make sense of which order i should read them in.

I think it's good to read all the comic series they released as well, as they do fit in the order of the rest of the universe and fills in some gaps.
