		<title>Ludum Dare 14</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s happening now and I am doing my best to make a game for it.
more to follow&#8230;
update : 17 hours down, 31 to go. I think it&#8217;s time for a rest.  It&#8217;s been a productive first day and I&#8217;ve got a just about playable version.  Lots of things to do tomorrow though not least improve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do you Kodu?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I don&#8217;t know much about Kodu as I&#8217;ve not used it myself.  What I do know is that It&#8217;s from Microsoft Research and runs at a slightly overkill 486.47fps.  Apparently It is an icon based game creation language interface aimed at children.  Teaching children to program is a good thing and what better inspiration than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alternative Parties and Technology Loving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve not been to many events this year but the two I have made it to have been excellent. One I already new about but the other was new to me.  Recently I was kindly invited to take part in a workshop for a major Finnish mobile phone company. The workshop was very interesting but [...]]]></description>

		<title>mySQL the Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[mySQLgame does away with fancy interfaces and hackneyed story lines and serves up it&#8217;s gameplay raw. As the developers put it &#8220;Are you tired of browser-based games that are thinly veiled interfaces for databases? Finally, there&#8217;s a game that just is a database!&#8220;.  If you love points and who doesn&#8217;t, then this applications games for [...]]]></description>

		<title>World of PlayCraft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve come a long a long way from the days of SEUCK. While looking into weird and possibly wonderful world of Flex, I came across PlayCrafter. It&#8217;s only in Alpha at the moment but it is already looking interesting.  It&#8217;s a browser based game creator where you can make, play and share games all [...]]]></description>

		<title>WoW without the Wow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The excellent Progress Quest by Eric Fredricksen was originally released in 2002 as an EverQuest parody. Although it does a pretty good job of parodying pretty much every other MMORPG as well.  The first time in a while that the game (well zero player game) rather than the players has made me LOL.

		<title>Contraption Distraction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was pointed in the direction of a fun little physics game called Fantastic Contraption earlier (thanks Naseer).  It&#8217;s pretty reminiscent of other sand box physics games, most notably Soda Constructor.  It may not be the most original game but it is well executed and introduces goal based play through some nice level [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Know, For Kids!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a new craze in Town, well the playground anyway.  GoGo&#8217;s Crazy Bones are part toy, part game and even part sticker collection.  If you are lucky enough to find any for sale there are 3 plastic figures and 3 stickers in a 99p pack.  The style of the figures borrows from [...]]]></description>
