		<description><![CDATA[	Gamers love their sense of self-image, don&#8217;t they?
	Take the 360, for example. It&#8217;s not enough that we have a console that provides hours of entertainment, we need it in different colours. We want to fit it out with different faceplates of our favourite game, and play with controllers that are labelled with our favourite footy [...]]]></description>

	Every once in a while, you&#8217;d like to watch a movie that doesn&#8217;t involve any thought - just kick back with some tightly choreographed action scenes and a few explosions along the way.
	Taken fits the bill, more or less. It does give a perspective on the rather depressing and all too real subject of human [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	It must be hard making sports games.
	I&#8217;ll give them a couple of years to tweak the gameplay, which is fine. But eventually it will reach a state where it plays suitably well. It&#8217;s well balanced and should be done and dusted.
	But companies insist on releasing new versions of what is essentially the same game, except [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;ve been playing Condemned 2 fairly regularly these past few nights. 
	Initially, it was a bit of a brown-pants-fest, what with the mutilated vagrants jumping at you from the shadows and walking through abandoned buildings with nothing but a piss weak torch and a lead pipe. It&#8217;s a good thing.
	What really grinds my gears is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	The keen-eyed amongst you will notice that a certain GRID review is present one day, but missing the next.
	This is because it&#8217;s been submitted for a little competition, and one of the conditions is that it is not published anywhere else.
	So, depending on how it turns out, you&#8217;ll either be seeing it back with the [...]]]></description>

	I&#8217;m going to be moving this brain dump over to some paid hosting for a bit more flexibility and storage. It&#8217;ll all be somewhat new to me, but I&#8217;m quietly confident.
