		<title>Guitar Hero IV drums appear in latest Game Informer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

The latest issue of Game Informer has the scoop on the upcoming Guitar Hero IV; including how their newly added peripherals will look. At first glance you&#8217;ll notice only three pads, but if you look a little above there are two &#8220;cymbals.&#8221; They look a bit awkward to me, but they had to compete with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mario makes appearance in Banjo-Kazooie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Even though Rare has long since gone to the Microsoft side of things, the company can never seem to get out of Nintendo&#8217;s shadow. It may be generations before the present work of the company isn&#8217;t held up against their games before the break up. With this in mind, it&#8217;s nice to see the company giving a nod to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mario Kart should come with a bar of soap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My friends and I just had a related discussion last night after a profanity laced four player romp through Coconut Mall.

The incident that incited my worst personal curse-fest after the break.

		<description><![CDATA[In case you&#8217;ve all forgotten, the Wii is home to what was a highly anticipated title in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The game has been out for months in Japan and North America, where it has all but fallen off the radar in terms of hype and buzz. No cause for concern, though, as it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Games for European WiiWare launch confirmed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Nintendo has gone ahead and released the European WiiWare launch list, something us American didn&#8217;t get&#8211;well, if you count press leaks. Perhaps they did it to ease the pain for the Smash Bros. Brawl release &#8230; oh, burn, yes. However, the European launch list is arguably better than the Stateside one since you get all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Rosie Millard just wanted to make her kids happy, is that so wrong? How could she have known that getting a single DS to share between the four of her children, along with what sounds like a bootleg 20-game card, could tear the family fabric apart? She talks of the horrible behavior her kids exhibit as they vie [...]]]></description>

		<title>WiiWare games and the memory they consume</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Sheesh. With all these VC games and now, WiiWare titles, we are going to soon be dry of our precious internal memory. Sooner or later it&#8217;ll be on the black market ala moonshine during the days of prohibition.
