		<title>Why Time Limits Need to Die (&#8230;. kind of)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So when discussion our student project (which I will probably write more about later), the idea of timed missions was raised, and specifically, whether we wanted to include them in some form. My answer was clear; no way in hell!
Time limits, for the most part, serve only to frustrate the player by forcing them to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game of the Year 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Without further adieu, I present my top two games (plus two other games) of 2009:
(Warning, there are some minor spoilers within)

Biggest Letdown – Empire: Total War, Creative Assembly
Now don’t get me wrong, Empire isn’t a terrible game and certainly isn’t the worst game to come out this year nor is it the worst game I’ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>My iPhone Murdered my DS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got home from work to find my iPhone standing over the bloody remains of my Nintendo DS, a sharpened dagger clasped firmly in its hand.
Ok, so maybe it wasn’t quite as dramatic as that, but the end result is certainly the same; I’ve used my DS for the grand total of one full battery [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Open Letter to Infinity Ward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Infinity Ward,
I don’t have a copy of Modern Warfare 2 and there’s a good reason for that; I haven’t gotten around to downloading it yet. The only reason I’m bothering to even download it is because the singleplayer sounds good as always…. for the whole 5 hours it lasts. However, having tried it on someone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dragon Age Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: The majority of this was written late last week, look for some newer impressions after the weekend.
Bioware’s latest RPG masterpiece is finally upon us, and it’s obvious that they’ve made the most of the 6 years they’ve spent developing it (that’s right, for those unaware, Dragon Age was announced well before Mass Effect yet [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Top &#8220;Bombs&#8221; of the Current Generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s something I found interesting over on Bitmob (which is a predominantly user-driven video game site):
The Top Ten Bombs of the Current Generation
Essentially, by comparing game sales (taken from VGChartz) as a percentage of the console&#8217;s user base with that game&#8217;s review score (aggregated on gamerankings), the author has created a rough way of determining [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best games you&#8217;ve never heard of: Escape Velocity Nova</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the first of what will eventually become a regular series of mine: The best games you&#8217;ve (probably) never heard of. In this series of articles I&#8217;ll look at some awesome games, both old and new alike, that very few people seem to know of. Note that this isnt necessarily intended to be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>I bought a Wii (and I liked it)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a few days ago, I renewed my love affair with Nintendo and finally bought a Wii.

It would be easy to point to E3 as the reason for my sudden desire to buy one, though I didn&#8217;t actually pay too much attention to the Nintendo announcements at the time. Likewise, it would make sense that [...]]]></description>

		<title>E3 &#8211; Thoughts, Opinions and (way too early) Excitement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, E3 was back to its old tricks, stepping out of the shadow of itself that it&#8217;s been for the past few years and reverting back into the  far more exciting behemoth it should be.
Quick satire of major announcements and my thoughts on some games from E3 after the jump.

Here&#8217;s a quick wrap of each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome one and all to my new blog. Now that university has finished for the semester (hopefully successfully), I finally have had the time to set this up properly (It may not look to different from when I set it up initally, but a lot has change on the back end) and to start writing [...]]]></description>
