Well, I like I promised yesterday, I am writing this blog about my impressions on two new games and also how my job went yesterday.

Edit: I apologize for any spelling and spacing errors, GS is acting wierd today (what's new, huh? :roll: )

Double edit: Please read my previous blog entry so that nobody has any misunderstandings. *Sternly glares in the direction of Kametsou* :lol: I kid, I kid)

First off, the tobacco sting went very well. When I say "well" I mean that very few places sold me and some other underage kids tobacco. I think this is a very encouraging thing to hear (although like Gary_Jinfield said, most kids have adults sell it to them anyways, but it still helps out) There were four people total, two 15 year olds (me being one) and two seventeen year olds. I got paired up with one of the 17 year olds, a rather nice looking girl.8) Anywho, our group went to 18 stores total, and only 3 of these places sold to us. I had one transaction, and the girl I was with had 2. Yay us. I felt sort of bad doing it though, because I got alot of comments about how young I was and how I shouldn't be smoking from the customers (which I actually don't)who were behind me in line. The comments on yesterdays blog (check that out if you are lost reading this) were concerned about the store owners getting angry at me, but that wasn't really the case. Most of them just asked for ID, I told them I didn't have any on me, they said they couldn't sell it to me, and I just walked out of the store. Then I came on to my laptop and wrote one extremely awkward sentence with way too many commas in it. :lol: Hopefully this will send a message to some of these stores about selling to minors, but I kinda doubt it. Oh well, I tried my best.

Now, on to my first impressions of RE4: Wii Edition and DiRT (360)

RE4: Wii Edition: So far this game is just as good as I remembered it, and maybe even better. Like the GS review said, this is definitely the definitive version of the game. The controls are really great, but they will take a little bit to get used to. Once you get the hang of it, though, you won't have any problems. There's no new content, but it does feature everything from the PS2 version. It's also only $30, so it's a great buy, even if you've played thisgame before

BottomLine: This is the best version of RE4, and one of theWii's best games. A

DiRT:I don't actually likeracing games that much, but DiRT is one of the few exceptions. I don't like driving sims, and this game is just arcadey enough tonot be(I can't use the word c l a s s i f i e d, soI'll replace it with jello instead) jellifiedas a sim. The steering isn't exactly realistic fealing (yeah, because I've driven buggies, rally cars, and Russian garbage trucks in real life)but I actually like it that way. It allows you tofly through turns while powersliding, and it's tons of fun.The damage modeling isamazing, with an insane amount of detail in every little crash. If you've played any previous racing games, you know thatif you run into a guard rail, sparks might fly out and there might be some scratches on your bodywork. Well in DiRT, not only does all this happen, but the rail will also bend and become deformed whenever your car hits it. Sweet. The same can be said with most other things in the environment. Takesmall trees or shrubsfor example. If you hit one at a high speed, it will smash on impact, shatter the tree, and leave a good size dent in your front end. If you were to his the same tree at a lower speed,it would bendand perhaps snap. Some leaves or needles might also fly off.So far, I have not gotten bord with this game, whic is a first for a racer.

Bottom Line: This game should appeal to any type of racing fan. A-

Thanks for reading and peace out.
