		<title>Philosophy of Dr. Manhattan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well gamers, I want o talk some philosophy with you.  Not just any philosophy, I thought I would take a whack at a comparison of Dr. Manhattan and God.

		<title>Review: Dawn of War 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The first thing you must realize about the Dawn of War 2 campaign is that it has little to do with your average RTS. There is no resource management or building up a horde of units. Instead Dawn of War 2 reaches back to its table top roots. In the start of each mission you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video Games in Libraries Part 2: Ye ol&#8217; Tourney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Holding gaming tournaments in libraries isn&#8217;t a new idea by far.  Libraries have been a safe haven for Dungeons and Dragons nerds since it came out in &#8216;74.  Before then, board gaming tournaments (chess, checkers, Scrabble, etc&#8230;) ruled the gaming space in Libraries.  However, sponsoring video game tournaments is new (and scary) [...]]]></description>

Anyway&#8230;  For fans of Geometry Wars, this is a simple way to get your fix at works.  You pilot a little blue ship who&#8217;s only weapon is [...]]]></description>
