I'm not really sure why this is a series: https://www.librarything.com/series/Brady%252BGames
As far as I can tell, it links all the works covering games designed by the Brady Games company together in a series. I personally don't think that's actually a series - the Bomberman 64 Guide is totally unconnected from the .hack Part 4 Quarantine Guide, to choose two from the list at random. I can understand a series made of, say, all the Warcraft guide books or whatever, but this I don't understand.
Should the series be removed / broken up into smaller series? Should I just ignore it? Is it rude to go about changing it, if other people agree that it should be changed?

I think that it should be a Publishers Series (BradyGames is now an imprint of Penguin Random House). I am sure that it is not a Series in the LT sense.

I know nothing about these books. But wouldn't "Bradygames Strategy Guides" be a series? If not, why not?
I agree that everything put out by some publisher is not likely to be an LT series. And it looks like there are some titles that are not strategy guides. But much of the list may be a legit series.

For me it depends if they have some kind of branding which identifies them as such.
I note in the book descriptions many of them say Signature Series - so that might be a possible series. The "Totally Unathorized" and the "Official" seem to be two other bits of brand / trade-dress which might indicate a series too.

Alice had a long talk with Mr. and Mrs. Brady about keeping those kids otherwise occupied.
