I can answer almost any question you have about various game franchises for multiple systems. I've played well over 1000 games starting from the NES all the way to the current consoles and handhelds, in just about every single genre there is, but am especially familiar with RPG, action, adventure, platform, fighting, and strategy games. I cannot help with question about major sports games (Madden), music games, and major racing games (Gran Turismo, Project Gotham Racing). Otherwise, feel free to ask for anything. If you're also looking for a new great game to play, let me know your tastes, and platforms, and we can figure out something great to be your next game.

Experience in the area

I've been playing games since I was 4, starting on the NES with Mega Man, and have been an avid gamer and collector ever since.

Howdie Joel,    To my knowledge, there is no adapter that can do wireless internet for the PS2.  It just wasn't a feature planned out for the system.  If there were to have been one made, it could probably

Howdie Sophie,    I'm actually in the same boat as you with another quest in Fable 2.  Thankfully, it's going to get fixed fairly soon.  Lionhead has already announced that some time next week they will

2008-11-16 Best game system for 6.5 yr old?:

Howdie Linda,    If the question is about the Wii being too difficult to control, I would say you have nothing to worry about.  The controller for it was designed to make it easy-to-use for all ages.

2008-08-22 which is better?:

Howdie Faisal,    Basically, if you're looking for a game that you would do alone as single-player, then definitely get Guitar Hero 3 as the better option.  However, if you're looking to play a lot with

Howdie Alex,    Currently there is no Action Replay or GameShark for the PS3.  Like I said before though, if you check out the web sites for both products, you should be able to find what you're looking
