Who knew the Batman: Arkham Asylum game would be so impressive? Well, I guess I understand all the media hype now. I recommend you give the demo a spin if you were like me and unsure of what the fuss is about.

I've got my "Tour of Duty II" completing the BF 1943 Achievements. Been playing that steadily throughout the week. Pretty much just that actually. I downloaded the Bad Company demo to give that another shot, but unfortunately the multiplayer portion doesn't seem to work any more. Makes sense since it's old, but I was hoping I wasn't the only one curious about it after '43. The single player is still laughably mediocre, but at the price you can get the game now I'm thinking it would be worth a spin in the absence of anything else. Very low priority.

I got Call of Duty 2 in the mail. It's very much a launch game. I can't say there's much of any difference compared to the version I had on PC. I think I was expecting too much. I hadn't played it on Veteran before, so I've just been doing that. Only 2 or 3 missions completed so far.

I still fall into the camp of "Halo sucks" but I've been playing through Halo 2 on PC, and Halo 3 (co-op). I'm near the end on both just about. I have to say it could be the worst game in the world, but let it be co-op and it's awesome. I'll be glad to move on from this and get back into Dead Space though.
