When I looked through the contents of the Warcraft III Battle Chest, I noticed something a bit different about the strategy guides. Instead of being huge things (Diablo II and Starcraft had big ones), the guides in the War Chest were about the size of a Manga volume...Or, or simplicity, handbook sized.
Instead of going into tangents about bullshit, and padding page after page with art that doesn't really appeal all that much, the guides get down to brass tacks. No bullshit here, just a full on strategy guide that picks up where the manual leaves off.
Now seriously, in a day where strat guides are somewhere nearing $20 for a huge volume, I wouldn't mind paying $8-$10 instead for a handbook sized bit that is both easily accessible and tells me exactly what I need to know in the given situation.
BradyGames, I tip my hat to you for making a great format (for this boxset, at least).
