After finally completing my Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo download (some 7 hours in the making), I burned through it, unlocking hard mode and Rachel's missions. I'll most likely spend a good portion of my free time re-playing the demo—in hard mode, natch—until I've run through it with every available weapon, bested my previous karma records, and carefully studied Rachel's various animations.

I've also got Bully and Super Paper Mario firmly stored in the disc trays of my on-standby consoles, both of which I'll slog through this weekend.
