		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing a lot these past few weeks. First off, there was the WiiWare version of Cave Story, which I started the day it came out, and beat the week after PAX East. Save for the uneven &#8220;new&#8221; soundtrack and sound mix, it&#8217;s much the same as the freeware version, which is to say [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Beat Devil May Cry 4 last week. Not the best game in the series, but certainly had its high points. All the hallmarks were there: bishies, hot chicks, gothic interiors, death metal songs that play during battles, and occasional violations of the 180&#176; rule when moving from place to place.

		<description><![CDATA[For gamers&#8212;or Cheap Ass Gamers, at least&#8212;one of the highlights of the holiday season is Toys R Us&#8217; buy two get one (of equal or lesser value) free sale on video games.
