Need a help on challenge 2 of adding repository methods

Could you please help me about this challenge? It appears to be it is a little different from the video lecture, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

VideoGamesRepository.cs
using Treehouse.Models;

namespace Treehouse.Data
{
    public class VideoGamesRepository
    {
        // TODO Add GetVideoGames method
        public VideoGame[] GetVideoGames(int id)
        {
            VideoGame[] videoGameToReturn = null;
            foreach (var videoGame in _videoGames )
            {
                if (videoGame.Id == id)
                {
                    videoGameToReturn = videoGame;
                    break;
                }
            }
            return videoGameToReturn;
        }
        // TODO Add GetVideoGame method

        private static VideoGame[] _videoGames = new VideoGame[]
        {
            new VideoGame()
            {
                Id = 1,
                Title = "Super Mario 64",
                Description = "Super Mario 64 is a 1996 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64.",
                Characters = new string[]
                {
                    "Mario",
                    "Princess Peach",
                    "Bowser",
                    "Toad",
                    "Yoshi"
                },
                Publisher = "Nintendo",
                Favorite = true
            },
            new VideoGame()
            {
                Id = 2,
                Title = "Mario Kart 64",
                Description = "Mario Kart 64 is a 1996 go-kart racing game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 video game console.",
                Characters = new string[]
                {
                    "Mario",
                    "Princess Peach",
                    "Bowser",
                    "Toad",
                    "Yoshi"
                },
                Publisher = "Nintendo",
                Favorite = false
            }
        };
    }
}
VideoGame.cs
namespace Treehouse.Models
{
    // Don't make any changes to this class!
    public class VideoGame
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public string[] Characters { get; set; }
        public string Publisher { get; set; }
        public bool Favorite { get; set; }

        public string DisplayText
        {
            get
            {
                return Title + " (" + Publisher + ")";
            }
        }
    }
}

Each task has you create a different method.

It looks like you may have gotten confused and modified the first method for the second task.

In task 1 you create GetVideoGames (plural), which takes no parameters and simply returns the stored field. But in task 2 you create GetVideoGame (singular) which is a bit more involved.

The method you create for task 1 should remain unchanged when you do task 2.
