Game-MAPS.com vs Prima Games eGuides

Game-MAPS.com is a free website offering game-specific maps, walkthroughs, zone guides, world maps, and solutions for puzzles and secrets. Founder Wojtek Antonowicz says he creates the maps, guides, texts, and opinions himself and chooses which games to cover. The site uses static illustrated maps rather than interactive ones, with numbered exploration points that can connect to written location descriptions, screenshots, and video clips. All content is available to everyone, and no account or registration is required. Readers can submit corrections, notes, and update reports through comments, Reddit, YouTube, or email; the creator says he tries to revise maps when games change or errors are reported. The terms warn that markers cannot be guaranteed completely accurate or current. Optional monthly or one-time contributions support the site, with payments processed through Google. Contributions do not remove ads entirely. The site is web-based and was founded in 2010.

Prima Games eGuides is a web library of official video-game strategy guides. The archive lists 251 guides and 25,589,130 words of strategy, while a redeem-code page says 256 guides are available in full with a free account. Guides include walkthroughs, maps, collectible checklists, and boss tactics, with full-text search across the collection. Without an account, readers can finish three guides and open the first three sections of other guides; a free account opens every guide in full. Guides work on phones, and checklists remember where a reader stopped. Maps and checklists load inside guide pages from cartographer.gamurs.group, so privacy extensions or networks blocking embedded frames can prevent them from appearing. The store is closed, meaning guides cannot be bought or refunded through the site. Old accounts, owned guides, and purchases were migrated, and sign-in can use an old email or a one-time link expiring after 15 minutes. Available guides were published from 2009 through 2018.
