Okay, so I made a liar out of myself and I took the dive off of the platform into the Chromehounds pool with my $60.  I picked the game up on Friday, and I haven't put much time into it yet. I finished the Soldier campaign, most of the Sniper, and barely started the Defender.  Before I go online, I would like to have finished all of the missions with "S" ratings so I will have had at least some experience with every type of Hound.

What I spent my Sunday doing was really quite fun.  After waking up early and driving almost two hours, I came to an airfield that had been rented out for the day.  The runways were going to serve only one purpose that day, to allow racing drivers to instruct the average joe (Me, and others...) on how to handle a car at it's limits.  The culmination of the day was at 65MPH avoiding an obstacle that is 50 feet in front of you.  Although I lost my tail end several times, I kept in control of the car and didn't hit a single cone!  So hopefully I'll never need to use the skills that I built up, but I'm sure as hell glad that they are there.
