		<title>Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2: Bonfire of the Vanities review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read more articles and reviews in the Articles sectionOK, so when last we parted Assassin&#8217;s Creed 2 and I weren&#8217;t on the best of terms.  This was mainly due to a rather disappointing little DLC addendum called Battle of Forli, a downloadable expansion that didn&#8217;t quite do justice to the game as a whole.  Words [...]]]></description>

		<title>This week&#8217;s releases: March 15</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This week&#8217;s batch of new releases is brought to you by Grog &#8211; now with 20% more acetone and all-natural red dye #2.  Also, keep an eye out for Grog Lite coming soon to a store near you.  It&#8217;s the same caustic taste, but the label says &#8220;low carb&#8221; and the pepperoni has definitely been removed.  So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Site housekeeping &#8211; 13/03/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little heads up for the readers, just in case you&#8217;re wondering why content is a little slow this week.  Myself and Mark are currently working on a redesign for the site to make things a little more streamlined.  And less reliant upon a shitload of images.
Although the colour scheme and general theme are going to remain [...]]]></description>

		<title>LeChuck&#8217;s Revenge confirmed for revamp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hot off the LucasArts Twitter feed today, most likely in conjunction with some variety of GDC announcement, comes the news that The Secret of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck&#8217;s Revenge will be undergoing the Special Edition treatment that we all drooled over previously.  There ain&#8217;t much to it, but here&#8217;s the word for word:
Oh yeah, another [...]]]></description>

		<title>Borderlands: Mad Moxxi&#8217;s Underdome Riot Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read more articles and reviews in the Articles sectionAmongst it&#8217;s many other accomplishments (well, depending who you ask I guess), Gears of War 2 can be lauded for the popularisation of the &#8220;Horde&#8221; style of multiplayer.  Allowing players to team up against a superior-numbered AI controlled enemy force managed to hit a real chord with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Atkinson donates to &#8220;gaming worse than smoking&#8221; group</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I know I use the term &#8220;facepalm&#8221; a lot, but there&#8217;s really no other way succinct way to sum up the ongoing debate over R18+ games in Australia.
The newest meeting of hand and forehead comes courtesy of a story published today over at news.com.au, which revealed that everybody&#8217;s favourite state attorney Michael Atkinson has donated large [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dragon Age: Origins Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read more articles and reviews in the Articles section
Let me preface this review: I&#8217;m not really a fan of this kind of game. In fact, frequent readers have probably heard/read about my flailing hatred of the RPG genre in general. Having watched Matt and various others walk through mindnumbingly boring landscapes, interact with dull voiced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stupid people make Stu go something something&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just when you thought this debate couldn&#8217;t get any fucking sillier&#8230;
First it was gamers being more dangerous than outlaw bikie gangs.  That was pretty hard to believe, right?  Well steel yourselves, because (a drumroll please) apparently the link between gaming and youth crime is even stronger than the link between smoking and lung cancer.
The abovementioned claim is made [...]]]></description>
