Conan: The graphics are nothing special, but the gameplay was pretty smooth...and MANY decapitations! Overall it was better than I expected. No camera control, though, since the right stick is used for evasive rolls, but it didn't seem to be an issue. Might be good as a bargain title purchase.

Based on the demo, I thought that game was a cheap God of War imitation that failed at even coming close to matching the greatness of it.

Finished: Gears of War - Act 1 - Hardcore giving me the "Kill a Berserker on hardcore" and finish "Act 1 on hardcore" achievements.

The whole act was surprisingly painless on Hardcore. Last time I tried I gave up because I was so fed up with dying so quickly. Maybe one of the updates made Hardcore easier.

On to Act 2 tomorrow maybe. It's getting a bit late now.

I got S ranks on the first 6 races of ExciteTruck and "unlocked" a bunch of trophies, pallte swaps and a few vehicles.

I played the Conan demo today and I agree with all that except for gameplay being smooth. It was like a market-stall-bootleg copy of God Of War. I would hope they mean "Coming Fall" as in last year with its graphics style.

Yeah, it's definitely not as good as God of War. That's why I wouldn't pick it up until it's under $20.

Played some Backgammon on Pogo with Sue.

dusted off the DJ controller for Beatmania again.  Managed to perfect a few songs I hadn't gotten before.  I'm still have a long ways to go towards the harder songs.

Tore into Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 last night.  Spent a few hours with Golden Axe III and Zaxxon.  Still trying to unlock everything on it.

Got my 512mb memory card for my 360 yesterday from ebay. I was surprised to find out that it let me put downloadable content from my 360 on it for transfer to another 360, not just game save files & player-created content; pretty cool, imo.
