O.K.
So, I got Sonic Rush Adventure on September the 25. And I beat it, on the 27. So the next day, my Mom and Dad go on a date, and Dad said that he could go return it for me, and pick up Mario Strikers Charged for me. (I gave him a 20 dollar bill so he could use the credit from the game, then use the cash also). So he goes in, and tries to return it, and the guy at the cashier said he would only give me 11.00 for it. What!? It was within 7 days, so I returned it. At most stores, that would be the end of that, right? Wrong. Instead, he says that it has to be defected, and I can get another SRA. So it drives me crazy!!!
Now, I ask you, was I the only one who didn't know that this was the rule? Or could I have gone to Target, bought the game, beat the game, returned it,and gotten all my money back? Or was this some cruel thing that GameStop and EB Games alone do?
Leave a comment on what you think.
Good Luck.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
Hello all readers and gamers alike! (okay, just gamers)
Sonic and company are back! Not only breaking the sound barrier, but the laws of physics! In the game, you will meet all the old rivals, and characters from the video game NiGHTS. The Babylon Rouges are back with attitude. And with revenge in their minds. While Sonic is right now screaming across two handheld screens in SRA (Sonic Rush Adventure), in about a year he will be returning to the home consoles with the Extreme Gear back in his hands. Only this time, the Extreme Gear will be able to have some control of gravity. By pressing a certain button and going up to a wall, you can actually hang on to the wall, and ride on it. There are even parts of the courses that have you required to do this, therefore running up a huge wall, and finally coming out on the ceiling in another part of the course. There are even forks in the road that make you double back and try and find the correct course!! Other than the fact that you can hold a different button and be flying 20 feet in the air (in the original you were basically only hovering 3 feet) there is another feature that allows you to go at breakneck speeds, where your character is holding on to the board as you go!!!
When you look on the top of the boards in this game, they looks pretty much the same as the original, but when you look at the bottom, you will find some kind of orb-looking shape down there, that allows you to defy gravity.
Now, although you defy gravity, that does not take away the fact that you have to go to air pumps and do tricks in order to have "fuel" to go on your way. Instead, there are just plenty more places to refuel and do tricks than in the original one. (This was a complaint I had. I kept on running out of air and having to run like a gazillion times a race in order to get finished.)
Now, as the original players will remember, when you got a certain amount of rings, your boost would have increased in speed, and your character would have a different pose or something while riding when in the 3rd level of this. Well, now, your third gear is completely different. For example, when in Knuckles gear change, his board turns into an awesome strong looking motorbike. That was the only info I got on that part, but still.
One of the quotes that Kenjiro Morimoto the director of the game said, is "I personally feel that it may not be too much to say that the title delivers infinite amusement." How cool is that!?
Last but not least, well, maybe least for a few reasons. There are 3 different ways to control this game. The first, is to, of course, hold the Wii-mote sideways and steer that way. Another way (the stinky way) is to hold the Wii-mote vertically and use the arrow keys to move your character. (Excuse me?!?!?) And, the coolest way of all, just plug in your GameCube controller and give it a go!! Just like the original!
P.S. Is it just me, or is it that in every single Sonic game, there is something to do with Babylon? In the Riders saga, the Babylon Rouges who try to guard Babylon, in SRA sky babylon, and now we come back to the Babylon again! (If anyone know if this is true or if this is false, please leave a comment)
Good Luck.

INFO ON SONIC RUSH ADVENTURE!!!
Ds and Sonic players and readers alike!!
I have major info on Sonic Rush Adventure! (SRA)'s storyline, starts out with Tails (Miles "Tails" Prower) and Sonic, looking for something, when a huge gale makes them blow way off course! When they land, they land unscathed, but really lost. Then, a little feisty little character shows up, who notices they need to go to sea, then starts gibbering about how all her plans for the sea went wrong. Tails offers to help her back on her journey, if she will just find him some stuff to make some machines to travel across the water. Well, even if he asked her to do it, you still have to be Sonic to go and find them on the 3-d level. When Tails has finished, you have a machine that you are to use to go find some not so isolated help. Well, there is one thing about SRA that is told everywhere, pirates! Searching for treasure, and not gonna let Sonic stand in their way. Now, there are 16 islands for you to explore (and find), but after you are done with each level, and amazing 3-d boss battle, which takes place on two screens, happens every time.
Now, when you get some parts for going across the water in the 3-d levels, you end up making a sailboat, a submarine, and something or rather. Now, the sailboat sounds sorta wimpy huh? Well, it is loaded to the brim with weapons, ready to flood any vessels in your way!!!! Oh, right, the other machine is a hovercraft!
Now, before I go, I need to tell you that Blaze from the alternate dimension comes in again. And it is your job to find out why on your journey.
Good Luck.
WAIT!!! I forgot to say the worst thing about SRA. You have to use the stylus and the touch screen for a few things!! Me, being a hard-core gamer, really don't like the touch screen very much, and I would hate it if, these moves have to be done on the touch screen!
Good Luck.

The Force Unleashed
All gamers and readers alike, important announcement!!!!
The newest Star Wars video game, The Force Unleashed, is coming out for Wii!!!! Well, if you count new as in next year. Anyway, we all know that there have been Star Wars games releasing left and right for all the other systems, but now, you will finally be able to wield a lightsaber in your hand! Your character is the apprentice of Darth Vader is the only real fact I got out of the document. Also, it said that you will be able to use the nunchuck in the game. It said that it will help with the force powers. Something or rather. Also, on the Wii version, a Duel feature will allow you to go head to head with other players (I don't know if around the world or not) to see who is the absolute best! Anyway, I am wondering if my Dad should have told me that, or if I should of told you that, cause then we will all be so impatient, that we (I know I will after a while) will be wondering if the game will ever come!
Good Luck.

Thank You
Thank you all for voting on my Blog!! I will probably re-open this poll once I have told more people. I am surprised though at how few people are most comfortable with a Wii-Mote in their hands. Although, I am not so sure you all got what I meant when I said, most comfortable. When I say, comfortable, I mean, which is the most cherishful to touch. As in, I like the GameCube grip the best, not the DS. In fact, I prefer the Wii-mote before the DS. My point is, which is the most comfortable. Not which one are you most comfortable with. Sorry!!
Good Luck.

Wii Zapper
Welcome all gamers and readers alike!!!!
Today (although it's a Sunday) I found out some information about the Wii Zapper. The Wii Zapper will be bundled with a game called Link's Crossbow Training. This game is only to show everyone how easy it is to use. You will start out just shooting at stationary targets, but will move on to moving targets. Eventually you will try to protect Link with the Crossbow in the final stages. The Wii Zapper is supposed to have the FPS games (first person shooter games) appeal to the new player. This accessory will be used in the following games:
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles will show the downfall of the Umbrella Corp. by going back and exploring Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, and 3. And will also have a feature of somehow allowing 32 players to play at once! (Don't ask. Never, never never never have I ever played a Resident Evil game (My Mom and Dad have never let me play anything rated M).)
Capcom's Medal of Honor 2 will also be using the Wii Zapper. World War II in your hands with the controller. Details are sketchy.
And, Sega's Ghost Hunt, re-enacting the light gun hunting experience at home, without having to pay 50 cents a play. Once again, can't get much info on that.
Good Luck.

Sonic Rush, Guitar Hero 3!!!!
Hello all readers and gamers alike!
I now have info, on these two great games. Sonic Rush Adventure (SRA) is the sequel to the popular Sonic Rush. Now, this new game, features a launch date of September 18, and a sea voyage adventure. The adventure takes you to 16 different islands looking for treasure. The game is once again a 2-D adventure, but instead of the countless boring mini games after each stage, this time, you will be riding on a water skier in three D!!! The skier is the device that help you get from island to island, from a level of a bunch of machinery, to racing across a pirate deck, it looks like SEGA has done it again!! Oh, I've only played multiplayer on the original one, but, the game designers said that there will be many less endless pits. You know, they said it's not as much fun if your constantly trying not to fall to your death.
Okay, Guitar Hero III for Wii!!!!!! Now, if you are a pure Nintendo-er like me, then you, like me, have missed out on a lot!!! It is finnally coming to Wii, wireless controllers only, and rocking music. But! Another gaming capability has come. For the PC and Macintosh computers are having it too!!!! Specifications still to be posted on various web sites, but still, isn't this awesome!!!!! Be ready to buy, on OCTOBER 27 PEOPLE!!!!!!
Of course, for me, I can't buy anything from October 1st to December 25th.
Good Luck.
