Games can have separate difficulty settings, while other games may only have a single difficulty. Which method in games do you prefer and what difficulty do you normally try first? Of the games that have only one difficulty, do they tend to be easy, hard or just about right for you? Do you think games should always challenge players?

Having a single difficulty is ouright stupidity for many kinds of games. It's actually one of the main problems I had with Spartan Assault. There is a spectrum of gamer skill levels. New guys, regular joes, seasoned players and hardcore gamers. Having multiple settings is best for the most part. There are games that obviously aren't appropriate for multiple difficulties though. Limbo for example. Obviously no point in having difficulties there.
