Repository code challenge part 2

This starting to piss me off. Got the first part right but the second method is not passing and I'm about to throw my keyboard.

using Treehouse.Models;

namespace Treehouse.Data { public class VideoGamesRepository { // TODO Add GetVideoGames method public VideoGame[] GetVideoGames() { return _videoGames; }

    public VideoGame[] GetVideoGame(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
        }
    };
}

}

You have correctly coded your GetVideoGame method to return a single VideoGame object instance, but the declaration says that it returns an array ("VideoGame[]" instead of "VideoGame").
