I just came across this great article in the New Yorker profiling Ciff Bleszinski, the 33  year old design director behind such games as Jazz the Jackrabbit, Unreal, and most famously, Gears of War.  
While mainly aobut Gleszinksi, the article does give an interesting look into how video games as a medium have changed over the [...]]]></description>

Three titles are available from the PlayStation Store with the PixelJunk moniker: Racers, Monsters, and Eden. I wasn&#8217;t that impressed with the first title. The second was interesting and had some strategic elements that gave it depth. However, the third title in this series is a sight (and sound) to behold.
PixelJunk Eden is a 2D [...]]]></description>

I enjoyed completing Star Wars: Force Unleashed for the PSP this week. It was quite a treat! Having said that, I wouldn&#8217;t consider it a game for the young ones.
I remember my parents previewing the original Star Wars (known now as &#8220;Episode IV: A New Hope&#8221;) back in the summer of 1977 to see if [...]]]></description>

Sackboy (or Sackgirl, depending on gender) is the hero(ine) of an upcoming PS3 game entitled Little Big Planet. For those of you who haven&#8217;t heard of it, this promises to be far more than just a videogame.
&#8220;Play Create Share&#8221; is the tagline for Little Big Planet. The premise is that this title is much more [...]]]></description>

What can I say? Is this Sony’s attempt to merge HDTV and the AIBO and hope that it catches on like Nintendogs? We’ll see, but the interactive nature is interesting. The real question is whether or not they have incorporated the AI from the AIBO in the software. If it could develop and learn, this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According The Onion Liberty City&#8217;s crime problem is attributed to the lax policing of the LCPD.
&#8220;Many blame the LCPD directly for the increase in criminal activity, citing the department&#8217;s lax procedure for arresting criminals, which involves taking 10 percent of the suspect&#8217;s money, confiscating his weapons, and simply releasing him from custody later that day.
