Choosing a video game strategy reference usually comes down to focus versus flexibility. Do you want a single guide that covers one game end to end, or a grab-bag of retro guides where you pick the title? The Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide answers the first need with a dedicated Capcom/Brady walkthrough. The Retro Video Game Strategy Guides / Magazines (YOU PICK) set answers the second with a mixed batch of older publications. Both are paper guides with wear, but they fit very different shelves.
Quick Verdict
If you know exactly which game you need, the Resident Evil 6 guide is the more direct buy at $18.99. The retro pick at $30.00 offers more variety, so it suits a collector hunting a specific issue rather than someone who just needs one guide.

Where Each Product Wins
The Capcom/Brady guide wins when you want a dedicated reference for one specific game. The 2012 guide is focused entirely on Resident Evil 6, so every page supports that campaign. The retro lot wins when you want to curate your own collection: the selection spans Nintendo Power, Brady Games, and Prima Games publications, and you choose the exact issue that fits your shelf. This makes the two options less like competitors and more like answers to different collecting habits.
Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide
This is the guide to grab when your goal is a thorough, focused companion for one game. It's a 2012 Capcom/Brady paperback in good condition, with light wear and no markings inside, so it's ready for rereading. The trade-off is that it covers only Resident Evil 6, so it won't stretch across other entries in the series or other games you might have. That specificity is also its strength: every page is about the one title you're playing. If you're a Resident Evil fan who wants a physical walkthrough for this particular installment, this avoids the guesswork of scraping together tips from random sites.
Retro Video Game Strategy Guides / Magazines (YOU PICK)
This is the flexible alternative. The lot holds a range of retro guides and magazines from Nintendo Power, Brady Games, and Prima Games, and you pick the specific title you want. That makes it ideal for filling a gap in a collection or grabbing a familiar issue like a Mario Party 2 guide. The catch is that most issues are in acceptable condition, with edge wear, discoloration, creasing, and sometimes page marks. You're accepting shelf-worn pieces, not pristine collectible copies. If you're okay with that, you get a way to add multiple old guides to your library without buying one game's guide at a time.
Final Choice by Use Case
Pick the Resident Evil 6 guide if you're actively playing that game and want a single, dedicated reference. Pick the retro lot if you're building a varied collection and want to choose your own title from a mixed set of older guides.
