Choosing a video game strategy reference comes down to one immediate question: do you need help with one game, or do you want a wider view of gaming history? This group divides neatly between a *Hogwarts Legacy* companion book, two *Assassin's Creed Rogue* references, and Steven L. Kent's history of video games. Condition matters as well: the two lower-priced game-specific books are marked Good, while the higher-priced *Rogue* guide is Brand New.
Quick take
- Pick Hogwarts Legacy: The Official Game Guide when your focus is specifically *Hogwarts Legacy* and you are comfortable with a Good-condition trade paperback that has highlighting or writing.
- The two *Assassin's Creed Rogue* books target the same game. Choose the Prima Paperback when Brand New condition is central; choose the PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book for a Good-condition trade paperback described with walkthroughs, maps, and collectible help.
- Choose The Ultimate History of Video Games, Volume 1 when a broad story spanning Pong to Pokémon is more useful than a guide for one title.

Product notes
Hogwarts Legacy: The Official Game Guide
At USD 5.90, *Hogwarts Legacy: The Official Game Guide* is the lowest-listed choice and is aimed at readers seeking a companion book for *Hogwarts Legacy*. It is identified as a trade paperback, with the book title framing it as an official game guide companion book. Choose it when matching the reference directly to *Hogwarts Legacy* matters most and a lower listed price is appealing. The limitation is its Good condition: the description specifically notes highlighting or writing in the text. That makes this a game-focused choice for readers who can accept visible prior use.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback
*Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback* is the Brand New strategy-guide option for *Assassin's Creed: Rogue*. Its description emphasizes tips, tricks, and strategies for navigating the game, and it is identified with the *Assassin's Creed* series. This is the clear fit for someone who wants a dedicated *Rogue* reference in Brand New condition. At USD 18.89, it is also the highest-listed book in the comparison. Choose it when condition and a title-specific strategy guide carry more weight than keeping the listed price lower.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book
This *Assassin's Creed Rogue* reference is a Good-condition trade paperback credited to Prima Games Staff. The title identifies it as a PS3 and Xbox 360 walkthrough book, while its description calls out walkthroughs, maps, mission help, collectibles, and exploration. At USD 12.84, it sits between the lower-priced history and Hogwarts books and the Brand New *Rogue* paperback. It makes sense for a reader who wants those stated walkthrough and map elements for *Rogue*. The trade-off is the Good condition, rather than the Brand New condition attached to the other *Rogue* guide.
The Ultimate History of Video Games, Volume 1
*The Ultimate History of Video Games, Volume 1* is the choice for readers interested in gaming's larger story rather than guidance for one named game. Steven L. Kent's trade paperback is marked Very Good, and its title sets its scope from Pong to Pokémon and beyond. Choose it when historical context across video games is the priority. At USD 7.75, it is the second-lowest listed option. Its limitation is also its defining feature: its broad historical scope is different from the focused walkthrough, map, and strategy orientation of the *Hogwarts Legacy* and *Assassin's Creed Rogue* books.
Final recommendation
For a direct game match, select *Hogwarts Legacy: The Official Game Guide* for *Hogwarts Legacy*. For *Assassin's Creed Rogue*, select the Prima Paperback when Brand New condition is the deciding factor, or the PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book when the stated walkthroughs, maps, missions, and collectibles coverage is the better match. Select *The Ultimate History of Video Games, Volume 1* when you want a readable historical reference spanning multiple eras of gaming.
