These two demos hit XBL and PSN today, and I got a chance to try them out.

BF:BC seems like it will be a fun rent. The funnest aspect seemed to be the single-player experience, a mix of vehicle-heavy mayhem, quirky humor, and a potentially interesting story. The weakest seemed to be the multiplayer, feeling akin to Quake Wars, were the game's weaknesses are only amplified by their sum.

This post is for video game soundtracks in general. They're really expensive but people upload them all the time to Youtube. You can play the soundtrack on Youtube and record directly from your soundcard using Freecorder www.freecorder.com and it'll automatically convert to MP3.

I can't for the life of me beat any Wii game. It's not that I lack the skill. I lack the interest. I find this weird because I grew up playing Nintendo (NES) games -- Mario Bros / Duck Hunt, The Legend of Zelda, Rad Racer, and Punch Out -- so I should have some sort of natural childhood-bias toward Nintendo.

Though as of today I've completed all campaign-oriented 360 and PS3 titles I own, I've completed none of the games in my Wii library, and I've owned them all since their release:
