Expertise
I can answer questions about tips, cheats, gameplay, and tips for hundreds of Action games going back from the first Platform-Action games on NES and Atari, right through to today with games on Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, and everything else in-between. I've played through hundreds of games on consoles and handhelds - sorry but PC is not my area. If you're also looking for best ideas on what game to buy, let me know your interests and tastes, and we can come up with some sure-fire great ideas. Oh, and for game design, I've done plenty of that too if you need any help!
Experience
Been playing games since I was 4. Started out with Mega Man, and have been strong ever since with hundreds of games under my belt on practically every system. I've also worked on designing several game titles as well if there's any need for it, but I'm here for the gamers.
