		<title>Oh, who would ever want to be king</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Looks like King of Fighters XIII is en route.
(logo yoinked from Dengeki Online)
To be clear, I didn’t like KOF XII at all. I did pay $60 for the game, but in retrospect, my money would have probably been better spent on something else. And no, my complaints have little to do with the lacklustre [...]]]></description>

		<title>There go the alarm bells</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So apparently someone leaked a video of Sonic 4 running on the 360, and it seems like some of my concerns were well-founded. The physics seem really off &#8211; since when did jumping while running on a flat surface give you that much horizontal momentum? Why doesn’t Sonic accelerate as he falls? Why are his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ass backwards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wonder when it was that developers stopped listening to good players?
Yes, I’m aware that’s a generalization – not all developers do this. However, the developers of the games that I play most often seem to, and that’s not a good thing at all.
Gaming has become a lot more popular than it was when I [...]]]></description>

		<title>This looks better than I thought it would</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much better:


Video Games &#124; Sonic 4: Ep. 1 &#124; Debut Trailer HD
XBox 360 &#124; Playstation 3 &#124; Nintendo Wii


(Also I&#8217;m such a Sonic nerd that I noticed that they used the sprite from the beta version of Sonic 2, hurhur)
More details here. No boost meter anywhere in sight, although I must wonder why they left [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dare I get my hopes up?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sonic is the only playable character in Project Needlemouse
I have to admit, that enemy concept art reminds me way too much of old-school enemy concept art. Having enemies with actual weak points that you can’t just hit anywhere will be most welcome.
That said, I’m not going to say anything substantive until I see some footage [...]]]></description>

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within 
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

Deus Ex: Game of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>I keep forgetting to update this thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven’t been updating because of some real-life issues I’ve been having that I’d rather not go into here. That said, here’s what’s been going on with me:

Added some more titles to my backlog thanks to Steam holiday sales: Mirror’s Edge and the last two titles of the PoP trilogy (as well as the newest [...]]]></description>

		<title>The travails of Cyber Monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just dropped $700 on new parts for my computer and $24 on all four Prince of Persia games, and then I saw the following offers on our Cyber Monday page:
Uncharted 2 for $40    Planet Earth Blu-ray for $40    Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 SA for $90
…
Dammit.

		<title>It&#8217;s their line, and they&#8217;re awesome at it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Went to see Whose Live Anyway this past weekend. I’m a big fan of Whose Line is it Anyway? (both the British and American versions, before you ask) so being able to watch this show was a real treat for me. It’s hard for me to pin down what my favourite part of the show [...]]]></description>

		<title>After one long year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fallout 3 has finally been evicted from my DVD drive.
(Because I completed it, not because I got fed up with it)
And no, I’m probably not going to buy any of the DLC, since the game itself didn’t impress me that much to begin with. And I don’t think I’ll be missing anything…not with the backlog [...]]]></description>
