More About the Author

I'm nothing more than a guy that loves video games.

I managed a software store in Indianapolis when I encountered Brady's publisher. The company hired me to assist in developing their new line of video game strategy guides, which was a very limited assortment at the time. They had published on a few Electronic Arts sports titles for the Sega Genesis, Mortal Kombat, and Sonic the Hedgehog.

It was a very interesting time for our business. Strategy guides were transitioning from tiny booklets into full-size, full-color, magazine-like books. We had the opportunity to make a huge impact and try something very new and unique. I'm very thankful for the experience. It was simply an amazing opportunity.

"Virtua Racing" for the Sega Genesis was my first project as an author. It took a week to write and some of that time was spent sleeping on an office floor. It was not a book I wanted to write. Our publisher made it clear I didn't have a choice. As painful as that first project was, it shot my career down a completely unexpected path. It led to projects like Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and eventually, my favorite, Final Fantasy VII.

Final Fantasy had always been a favorite series since it released for the NES. VII proved to be a monstrous task. We had no idea what we were getting into at the time. Final Fantasy projects now require a team of authors, but I'm proud of what we accomplished given the resources available. It was a learning experience for everyone involved.

I continued to write for several years with Conan being my final project. It has been a wonderful ride and I met some amazing people along the way. The people at BradyGames really care about the products they produce. That is not something you find with every publisher.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I own this game. (laughing) I forgot what chapter was I at. The only thing I wanted was that the game could change characters like Harry Potter III. Although Ed was not really bad guy afterall. Actually, I can say there's so much strategizing similar to Chess. Keys, puzzles, main enemies. Sometimes it's gonna give you a headache of on and on and on and on defeating bosses. Acutually the first boss which is a lion type of creature is easy to defeat. Transmuting is easy to do in game but real-life, no no no no no. It's gonna take lots of time to practice. If I was you, THE GAME. Ed's occupation is a State Alchemist. He had right arm with Automail. It is made of metal.
Dialogues were funny, sometimes Ed says "Who you calling shorty?" or this, "Who are you calling a bean?!? or sometimes, "Who did you say was small like a grain of rice that doesn't show up in your eye?!?
And that is how i say about FMA
