Leveling Down

When this game was originally released it sort of flew under the radar for me since I don’t pay too much attention to racing games. But Pure looks to be a very good title as it successfully combines offroad racing with an entertaining trick system, and seems forgiving enough that even Mario Kart fans may be able to enjoy it. I’m still on the fence about this purchase myself, as I haven’t even opened Burnout Paradise yet but this is a highly rated game.

Deal of the Day: Pure 360 $19.98 [Amazon]

 
From screenshots, Conan looks like it can be pretty enjoyable, but it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be…

I started playing Conan a while back but lately I’ve had a hard time finishing it. I’ll fire it up every once in a while and maybe get through a level and to be honest, it’s not a terrible game. But I think that’s sort of an issue for me these days – I seem to have less patience playing games that are simply mediocre or decent. Can I just play excellent or amazing games? Anyway, read on for my impressions on this game, and hopefully I will get around to finishing it at some point.
