The decision: what kind of guide do you actually need?
When you're shopping for a video game strategy reference, the hard part isn't finding a walkthrough-it's deciding how much coverage you actually need. Do you want one magazine devoted to a single role-playing game, a guide that follows a full survival-horror campaign, a complete official reference, or a bulk lot that spans multiple consoles? The options here run from $14.95 to $79.98, so the choice has real budget implications. This quick comparison sorts the four by price, format, and best use.

Product notes
Tips & Tricks May 2006 #135 Video Game Strategy Guide Magazine Kingdom Hearts 2
This magazine is a period-specific way to get Kingdom Hearts 2 coverage without committing to a book-length guide. The glossy format and Very Good condition make it a collectible rather than a manual, and it is bagged and boarded. If you are building a Kingdom Hearts series shelf or want a snapshot of the game when the issue was published, this is the most compact route. The limitation is that a single magazine issue cannot match the depth of a full strategy guide; you are getting selected tips, not the depth of a full guide. For a focused one-issue purchase, it is an easy call.
Resident Evil 6 Video Game Strategy Guide 2012 Capcom Brady Horror OOP
For survival-horror players who want one campaign covered from start to finish, the Resident Evil 6 guide is a straightforward choice. It is the 2012 Capcom/Brady paperback, with light wear and no markings inside, and the item shown is the exact copy. That makes it usable as both a reference and a Resident Evil shelf piece. The main trade-off is that it is a single-game guide in Good condition, so you are not getting pristine collectible quality or extra inserts. If you need complete Resident Evil 6 coverage and do not mind normal wear, this guide keeps the focus tight and the price moderate.
Video Game Strategy Guide Lot Playstation 2 3 Xbox Gamecube Nintendo 64 SNES PC
The mixed lot is the choice when you want broad coverage instead of one game. The title shows it spans PlayStation 2/3, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo 64, SNES, and PC, so it can fill multiple collection gaps in one purchase. The condition is Good, and none of the guides are missing pages, posters, or other inserts. The catch is the price and scope: it is the most expensive option here, with a mix of titles and conditions rather than a single polished guide. If you collect across several older consoles, the price is easier to justify. If you only need one game, this is more than you need.
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Official Strategy Guide Game Boy Advance Poster
If you want a complete walkthrough for the Game Boy Advance version of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, this official guide is the one to pick. It is a 144-page trade paperback from DK Games with a fold-out poster, in Very Good condition with no torn or missing pages. Authors Greg Sepelak and Beth Hollinger wrote it. The limitation is that it is specifically for Chain of Memories, not the other Kingdom Hearts titles, and the 2000s trade-paperback format won't match a glossy magazine if you are mixing formats. For a complete reference, the price is hard to argue with.
Final recommendation by use case
- If you want one affordable Kingdom Hearts 2 collectible with magazine-style coverage, the Tips & Tricks May 2006 issue is the most targeted pick.
- If you are playing Resident Evil 6 now and want a single reference, the Resident Evil 6 guide is the right scope.
- If you need a complete Chain of Memories reference, the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Official Strategy Guide is the complete package.
- If you want to cover multiple consoles in one buy, the Video Game Strategy Guide Lot is the broadest option, assuming you are okay with a mixed set of guides.
