Choosing between two older video game strategy reference books can stall a shopping trip before it starts. One follows the marine through Doom 3 on PC; the other walks you through Resident Evil 6. Both are paperback companions from different eras of game publishing. The right buy is the guide that matches the game you will actually sit down and play.
Quick verdict
If your play session is Doom 3, get the $4.99 Prima guide and keep the extra money in your pocket. If Resident Evil 6 is your game, the $18.99 Capcom/Brady guide is the direct match. Both are in Good condition, so neither starts with a condition advantage.

Product notes
Doom 3 Prima Official Game Guide
For a PC player working through Doom 3, this Prima guide behaves like a second screen. It walks you through every level, marks the BFG and secret locations, and adds cheat codes, storage cabinet combos, character and enemy stats, and multiplayer notes. The glossy finish makes it easy to flip between maps, and the collectible angle fits a retro id Software library. The limitation is the cover: minor edge wear and corner scuffing are present, so it is a good, readable guide rather than a display-room copy. If you are not playing Doom 3, the level-by-level detail will not do much for you, which is true of any game-specific guide.
Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide
This 2012 paperback is a direct companion to Resident Evil 6, and the Capcom/Brady connection makes it identifiable at a glance. It is in sturdy condition and has no markings inside, which is useful if you want a clean reading copy. If Resident Evil 6 is the campaign you are working through, this guide gives you a dedicated reference for that title and sits naturally in a Resident Evil series collection. The catch is scope: it is built around one game, so its usefulness ends where Resident Evil 6 ends. If your backlog leans toward another survival-horror title or a different Capcom game, this guide's focus won't transfer.
Final choice by use case
Pick the Doom 3 Prima guide if: Doom 3 is the game you're playing and you want the fuller official companion.
Pick the Resident Evil 6 guide if: Resident Evil 6 is the title you're playing and you want a purpose-built companion for that specific campaign.
If you're just browsing the category and don't own either game, start with the guide whose game you are more likely to revisit.
