If you are shopping for a video game strategy reference, the first decision is not about paper quality or cover art-it is about which game you actually need help with. The four books here span very different adventures: Link's Awakening on Game Boy, Assassin's Creed Rogue on PS3/Xbox 360, Tomb Raider 3 on PS1, and Granstream Saga on PS1. Listed prices range from $12.84 to $81.20, so knowing what you are buying before you compare helps you avoid overpaying for a guide that does not match your game library.
Quick Take
The cheapest listed option is the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide from Prima at $12.84, while the most expensive is the Tomb Raider 3 PS1 Strategy Guide at $81.20. In between, the Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening Game Guide is priced at $19.99, and The Granstream Saga Prima's Official Strategy Guide is listed at $15.00. All four are used books, and each one targets a different game. If you are looking for a general "strategy reference" for a specific title, match the guide to the game you own first, then let condition and listed price refine your choice.

Product Notes
Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening Game Guide
If your next playthrough is Link's Awakening, this paperback guide is built around that game. The listing highlights its glossy pages, and the attributes point to a strategy guide format with a clear table of contents and walkthrough-oriented chapters. It is a used copy, listed in Acceptable condition, so you should expect some wear. The guide is tied to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, which makes it useful only if that is the game you are playing. At USD 19.99, it sits in the middle of the price range. The country of origin is listed as the United States.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide
This is the most affordable guide in this lineup at USD 12.84. It comes from Prima Games, and the title covers both PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Assassin's Creed Rogue. The attributes list the era as the 2010s and the format as a trade paperback, which matches the official Prima guide style. Condition is Good, meaning it is a functional used copy rather than a pristine collectible. The guide is named for Rogue specifically, so if you are playing that game on one of those two consoles, this is a direct match. It is illustrated and includes a GTIN, but the key advantage is the combination of official Prima guidance and the lowest listed price in this group.
Tomb Raider 3 PS1 Strategy Guide
This is the highest-priced book of the four at USD 81.20, and it is a used official strategy guide for Tomb Raider 3 on the original PlayStation. Condition is listed as Good, and the country is listed as Japan. The attributes do not name an author or book series, so the value here is really about the specific game and the fact that it is an official PS1-era guide. If you are actively collecting Tomb Raider 3 materials or need a physical companion for that exact game, this is the one that matches. If you are just looking for a general walkthrough and do not specifically need Tomb Raider 3, the higher price is harder to justify.
The Granstream Saga Prima's Official Strategy Guide
If your current game is Granstream Saga, this guide is the one that lines up with it. The listing credits Prima Games as the publisher, and the attributes confirm the video game name and series are Granstream Saga. Condition is Very Good, which is a stronger condition point than the Good or Acceptable ratings on the other used books in this comparison. At USD 15.00, it is priced closer to the lower end of the range. The trade-off is size: this is a single-game guide, so it will not help you with any other title. It is a practical, dedicated walkthrough for someone who owns Granstream Saga and wants step-by-step help.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you are on a tighter budget and playing Assassin's Creed Rogue on PS3 or Xbox 360, the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide gives you the lowest listed price. If Link's Awakening is your game, the Zelda guide is the direct match, though Acceptable condition means you should expect wear. For a dedicated Granstream Saga playthrough, the Prima guide at USD 15.00 is a clean choice in Very Good condition. If you are a Tomb Raider 3 collector or specifically need the PS1 strategy book, the $81.20 used Tomb Raider 3 guide is the one to consider, provided the higher price fits your reason for buying.
