Civ V is great, but it's kinda nerfed. It's easier now, and they've really simplified battling. You pretty much need to go to war if you want to do well now. It's still addictive as hell though.

Got two new PS3 games for Christmas.
Gran turismo 5 and Demon's Souls. GT5 is ok so far....every race has been easy with my used unmodified CRX I bought to start the game (it is a 1983, and my first car was a 1984 CRX, so I had to buy it!).
Demon's Souls looks like it will be a really good game, but it is HARD. When you die you start back at the beginning of the level. no saving and reloading. I got beat on as a barbarian, started over as a hunter, and am doing better.

Can't wait to try out Kinect with my family on New Year's. I have been too busy to partake but it looks very fun.

I got beat on as a barbarian, started over as a hunter, and am doing better. LOL! Get used to dying. And then dying some more. Seriously. The game forces you to respect it. My advice is to go slow and pay attention to the clues on the floor. Short cuts DO open up after you get far enough in some levels. You gotta earn it, though. Good luck!

I've been careful lately and haven't died in a while. I just freed Ostera (something like that). I'm hoping to at least get to the 2nd shortcut before dying again. I peeked at some stuff online and it looks like there are some dragons ahead that I'll need to avoid.

Even without the floor markings, the game it self gives you a lot of clues. Just keep your eyes and ears open, and go slow.
I had some of my favorite video game moments play that game.

Well I finally got some time to play Dragons Age and so far I'm really liking it.
I started off as a dwarf. Boring. I'm not a hack and slash guy. Switched over to a mage on normal and the game got more interesting. After breezing through a few battles on normal bumped it up to hard. Just died on level 4 of the Mages tower.
I think I'll stay away from stupid hard for now. I can always bump up if my mage gets to powerful.

I only have one more badge to get in Bejeweled 3, and it's annoying the heck out of me. I'm supposed to get a 15x column combo in Ice Storm mode to earn the platinum badge, and so far I've gotten up to 14. Grrr. What's more annoying is that this is a badge my sister has already earned. I've been supplanted.

Kinect games with my kids, quite alot of fun. Feels a little Sci-Fi with the waving of the hands and the menus on the screen sliding by.
