| 2008-06-30 | zahan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thanks for your help |
| 2008-04-23 | Haku | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thankyou for your help, es[ecially on the stardust locations. The list I had (for I had googled it before) was short and simple answers (like 'inside the armor shop') Which did almost no help especially when backtracking and trying to find which one I missed. As for the crisis Core, it sounds a little better than the previous games (and I have yet to play anything past 9 because I lack a PS2) but I will take your advice and wait for a price drop. Though I doubt I can bitethe bullet and wait for a used one to pop up. Again, thankyou for helping me out. |
| 2008-04-03 | Duane | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Gameusurper: Very thorough and quite knowledgable, I appreciate the work you put into the answer, Thanks! |
| 2008-03-16 | Mario | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | great, thanks |
| 2008-03-13 | Mario | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks alot Gameusurper. Your answer was informative and had almost everything i wanted. Still you deserve to be volunteet of the month! Cheers |
| 2008-03-11 | Simon | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I would have asked another follow up but you were unavailable. No, I'm only 15 and live in England. I wasn't ever thinking of being part of the gaming industry, but I do have a lot of ideas and sure could provide a lot of input for a wide variety of game genres. I like to advise, I'm good at that. Creating games doesn't influence me nearly as much as actual gameplay. What makes a successful game to me is the gameplay and the storyline. You can't have action without a considerable amount of storytelling. That's why I fell in love with Kong, because it was such a great experience. I love games that have no HUD too. I loved MoH: Frontline because of the way you could interact with the enemies and the environment. I prefer MoH to CoD. Anyway, you receive my top ratings and I hope to speak to you again when you are available for questioning. |

| 2008-03-10 | Dave | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | "gameusurper" was not the first expert I wrote to, but WAS the only expert who knew anything about my question. He/she obviously took some time to answer my question and knew quite a bit. What they didn't know, they gave me insight in how to pursue finding the answers. Thank you for the help. |

| 2007-10-04 | Gaz | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow, thanks for such a comprehensive answer. Although it wasn't what I wanted to hear, it's what I expected to hear! Thanks so much for taking the time to look into it for me and getting back to me. I think I'll go buy him a new slimline model, as you suggest. Best wishes Gaz |

Expertise
TOPICS I can answer questions about: Game Strategy, Recommendations (based on age or genre preference), History of a game, Recalling a game you played, Game music, Company or Creator info, and System troubleshooting GENRES: My specialties are Adventure, RPG, Survival Horror, Action, and a small amount of Strategy and Puzzle. I avoid sports games like the plague, and have little interest in any racing games save for a few, F-Zero, Mario Kart and Wipeout being the main ones. Nor do I know many fighting games, mainly Bushido Blade and a few others. I am not much of a fan of First Person Shooters either. I am especially well versed in RPGs, particularly Final Fantasy and most of SquareEnix's other titles. GAMES: Not limited to the following. These games are series, and I know them all. There are MANY other individual ones. Feel free to ask and I will let you know if I can help you. Actraiser, Alundra, Breath of Fire, Bushido Blade, Castlevania, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Donkey Kong, Dragon Warrior/Quest, Drakkhen/Dragon View, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, King's Field, Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver, Mana, Mario, Mega Man, Metal Gear Solid, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid, Parasite Eve, Resident Evil, Rygar, Silent Hill, Spyro, Star Fox, Suikoden, Tomb Raider, TMNT, Wild Arms, Xenogears/Xenosaga, Zelda, and Zone of the Enders SYSTEMS: I have recently added the Wii and PSP to my collection. NES, Super NES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy Color, GBA, DS, PS1, PS2 and PSP plus computer, but I'm not really a big computer gamer. Systems I plan on getting in the future are XBOX 360 and eventually PS3 (When the price goes down...a lot) I am also a big fan of emulators on the PC. I have many of the old 8-bit and 16-bit systems and ROMS for my computer and know a lot about them. These include NES, Super NES, Genesis, Turbografx, MSX, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and GBA.
Experience
I have been a video gamer for nearly 20 years. I started with the original NES way back in 1988 and have owned or played nearly every popular console since then. I have completed hundreds of games and played thousands. I have a large file cabinet filled with hundreds of hand-made maps, lists, and various stategies for many of the games I have conquered in the past two decades. I subscribe to 5 different game magazines to keep up to date on the newest stuff out there. I would officially call myself an expert on the subject of videogames. And if I don't know the answer, I can find out about it and direct you to someplace that does.
Publications
Nintendo Power magazine, and I am thinking of writing for Gamegrene and GameFAQs in the future.
Education/Credentials
Experience with games baby, and lots of it. Nothing formal if that's what you're wondering. Just good old playing and reading.
