Choosing a video game strategy reference usually starts with one question: are you covering a whole library or one game? This head-to-head puts two very different guides side by side: a 3DO secrets collection and a Resident Evil 6 strategy guide. Both are strategy references, but they come from different parts of gaming history, so the decision comes down to scope, era, and how you like to play.
Quick Verdict
If you own several 3DO games, the 3DO Games Secrets Book Two is the better companion. If you are actively playing Resident Evil 6, the Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide is the one to grab.

3DO Games Secrets Book Two wins for breadth. It gathers hints and walkthroughs for many 3DO games in one book, which makes it a practical reference when your playtime spans that system.
Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide wins for single-game depth. Every part of the book is aimed at one campaign, so the help is easy to find when you are stuck.
Closer Look at Each Guide
3DO Games Secrets Book Two
The 3DO Games Secrets Book Two collects secrets, hints, and walkthroughs for multiple 3DO games, which makes it a practical choice if you are exploring that library. Written by Zach Meston and J. Douglas Arnold and published in 1996, it is a 1990s-era trade paperback in good condition. You are paying for breadth: one book covers many titles instead of a single campaign. The trade paperback format from the mid-90s is also part of the appeal if you collect strategy references from that era. Its limitation is just as clear: the 3DO-only focus means you will not find help for other consoles, and the content predates anything released after the early 1990s. For a 1990s collection, that is acceptable; for games outside that era, it will sit on the shelf.
Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide
Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide is a 2012 Capcom/Brady guide aimed at one game. That single-game focus is exactly why it wins if you are stuck on a specific campaign or want a compact reference for Resident Evil 6. The guide is listed in good condition with light wear and no markings inside, so it is easy to use without worrying about handwritten notes. It is also the more affordable of the two at $18.99, which makes it an easy pick for a dedicated fan who only needs one game covered. The limitation is the opposite side of that narrow scope: there is no coverage of other Resident Evil titles or other genres, so once you finish Resident Evil 6, the guide's job is done. Choose it when your goal is one complete playthrough, not a shelf full of secrets.
Final Choice by Use Case
Pick the 3DO Games Secrets Book Two when a hints-and-tips compilation fits your collection. Pick the Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide when Resident Evil 6 is the title you are playing right now.
