I liked Thor too. The fighting scenes were good, the ending was pretty good. If you were a fan of the comics even casually, it had a few mentions of things that linked into those stories. I would have liked to have seen more about the non-primary Asgardians, their history, and their culture, though. You only see 8 of them, leaving no explanation for how some of the things in their society works.
I've been playing other games and just watching tv. Age of Empires online went into open beta? I think (I've been in closed beta for a while, but I think it's in open now) so I've been playing it a bit more. It's similar to the offline versions, you only show one main "city" and upgrading it will upgrade your manpower. You go on campaigns with your guys and go into individual maps which are usually 5-20 minutes long, some of them are co-op or pvp. It gives you very hard challenges pretty soon in though (time-limits to accomplish goals).
Also picked up Sims Medieval since it dropped in price and I had a coupon on top of that. It doesn't have a huge amount of replay value (even though it's meant to be replayed starting from the ground up several times to unlock all of the game modes, but you can do some game-save-swapping to get around that and start with your previous kingdom) but it has a few funny quests, lots of little goals and achievements, and is simple and relaxing to play.
