I found that GameWinners advertises www.GameFAQs.com. So I checked it out, and found tons of stratedgy guides written by people all over the world, plus there free of charge. It took me a while to get used to writing, finding all the information on how to wright the guides I could and with some help of my friends started writing some FAQs. ~Updates~ This guide is planed to be updated monthly, fixing grammar errors, rewritng sections of the guide so they are more informational, etc. ~Upcoming FAQs and Guides~ FlameKnight/HMking FAQ/Walkthrough for Dragon BAll Z the Legacy of Goku II - 0KB FlameKnight Metal Slug 5 Boss FAQ - 15KB FlameKnight Resident Evil Zero FAQ/Walkthrough - 27KB FlameKnight/?
