What difficulty mode do you usually start playing on?

Hard if I am familiar with the series or genre. For instance, Uncharted 2 and 3 I went straight to the hardest setting available. The same for every God of War game. However, if it is new to me or if I have little experience in it then I'll do normal. FPS games in general such as Crysis and Killzone 2. I worked my way up to the hardest settings.
