And an outing on the default setting of Dark Sector started out with me thinking "ooo, not too hard this" as I wrapped up two chapters in no time and then chapter 3 is a lot trickier - can imagine how bad it will be on brutal settings.

However some games, like sega superstars tennis need to be played on medium or easy, hard takes the fun out.

If I enjoy the game (e.g. Mass Effect) then I'll try it on a higher setting, otherwise the game will just go into the "I'll play that on a rainy day" group.

The only one I haven't done that in is Half Life 2 as I didn't know there were multiple difficulties for it...

Take COD4 for instance, trudging through the Veteran mode is a pain sometimes, play the easiest difficulty though and its Rambo time! Calms ya down easily :) Unless you wind up being killed on the easiest difficulty :P nice pictures ;)

I don't think that the lower difficulty is necessarily boring though - I tend to experiment a bit more on a replay as it doesn't "count".
