Tips & Tricks originated as a spinoff from the monthly "Tips & Tricks" section magazine. Because VideoGames & Computer Entertainment itself grew out of the monthly "Video Game Digest" column in magazine, Tips & Tricks was technically the longest-running publication in a succession of related magazines that originated with the first issue of January 1981 - nine months before the publication of which are generally considered to be the world's first video-game magazines. When the final issue of Tips & Tricks Codebook appeared on newsstands in February 2011, it marked the end of a series of print magazines that had covered the video-game industry for 30 consecutive years.
Tips & Tricks' Editor-In-Chief, Chris Bieniek, was featured in a July 2014 interview,detailing the history of the publication.
Often referring to itself as "The #1 Video-Game Tips Magazine," Tips & Tricks was known for its strategy guides or walkthroughs for contemporary console and portable games. Each issue also included an index of button codes and passwords, alphabetized by game title and sorted by console. The magazine was also noteworthy for its "lifestyle" content, in which a particular aspect of would be discussed at length by a regular columnist. Some of these were devoted to a specific game or game series while others spotlighted video game-related action figures, comics, music and movies.
Tips & Tricks was a monthly devoted to the subjects of video game and lifestyle content. Unlike most video game magazines, it did not include critical reviews of video games and was not a primary source of video game industry news. Instead, it focused on gameplay instructions and hidden relating to games that its readers might have already purchased.
