It's a deadly circle. Madden-like game gets made, sells well. Its sequel have a bigger budget, more promotion, and sells better and so on, and so on. Eventually all the mainstream media knows of are Madden-like games.
There needs to be more celebration of creative and original games.
The one good thing about multiple guides for a game is that they can offer different strategies, and differently worded directions that may be more helpful.
Although a well written single guide could cover all these bases. And the examples you provide seem to look very nice. The screenshots of OoT, are especially fine.
Only HDTVs have component video or RGB. Most regular TVs just have coax, composite video, and maybe S-Video. There is a maximum resolution that each input can take, and after that it does not look any better.

128:50:37 Young: I have the farts, again. I got them again, Charlie. I don't know what the hell gives them to me. Certainly not...I think it's acid stomach. I really do.
128:50:44 Duke: It probably is.
128:50:45 Young: (Laughing) I mean, I haven't eaten this much citrus fruit in 20 years! And I'll tell you one thing, in another 12 fucking days, I ain't never eating any more. And if they offer to sup(plement) me potassium with my breakfast, I'm going to throw up! (Pause) I like an occasional orange. Really do. (Laughs) But I'll be durned if I'm going to be buried in oranges.

Can somebody quote me the number of barrels of oil, and the amount of electricity, and pollution it takes to make a new car?
This looks mildly interesting, but the only real problem I have is paying $20 for about 10 minutes of entertainment.
I could have the same amount of fun for free at the nearest McDonald's Playland with a good imagination.
The funny thing is, he's actually playing solitaire.

1. Stop making crappy, overpriced, sequels and even crappier movie based games.

As far as I understand these guides are the Gamestop equivalent to an extended warranty. They push them on anybody buying a game which has a guide.
I just use GamesFaq, and get the same answers for free.

However, like I said Xena is a horrible name, I suggest: Apollo :)
Sounds great, then we could call the moon Starbuck!
