-BioShock 2 Multiplayer: Getting to Rank 40 in this game is taking forever! I'm currently at Rank 33, which may sound close, but I still got a long ways to go considering how the game ranks you up. It usually takes around 3500/4000 points to get to the next Rank, and the average amount of points I get in team deathmatch, if I'm on the winning team, is 500. If I do bad or I'm on the losing team, it's normally about 300, if I do really good, it's about 800. It's starting to wear me out, but I am looking forward to getting some of the tonics in the later ranks, specifically, the one where my dead corpse explodes, killing anyone taking my picture or just happens to be nearby.

-Burnout Paradise: Decided to try this one out a few days ago, and it's not impressing me. I figured the concept of taking the series into a sandbox setting would be an interesting one, and it should have. However, the game feels so... empty. There really isn't any heavy traffic, and the sense of speed I got when playing Burnout 3 isn't in this game. The soundtrack is horrible, too. Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend? Seriously? The more I play, the more it makes me want to revisit Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Edit: Okay, I've played a little bit more, and it seems to get a little better.

I stopped on rank 33. I estimated that I had something like 70 more matches to play to hit 40. No thanks. It was fun while it lasted.

Avril Lavigne was the best thing to ever happen to eatraxx.

Honestly, I'm only making it to 40 now so it won't be a pain in the ass getting the achievement later when there aren't many players left. I'm at 35 now, but with other games distracting me, I'm finding it harder to go back.

As daunting as hitting rank 40 is for the achievement, I just know they're going to add more achievements later when they raise the cap to 50 (yes, they're doing it). Can you imagine playing for another 10 ranks?

I doubt it. I'll probably unknowingly play through a crappy game by the time that happens.
