Can anyone help me on this,

VideoGamesController.cs 
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Treehouse.Controllers
{
    public class VideoGamesController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Detail()
        {
            return new ContentResult() { Content = "Welcome to the Video Game Detail page!"};
        }
    }
}

Your return statement will be a call to the Content method with the "welcome to..." text passed in as a parameter. Also, since the Content method lives in the base class you'll need to use the "base" keyword.
