		<description><![CDATA[Pre-orders for Machinarium, a beyond-gorgeous adventure game from Samorost creator Amanita Design, are now open! Save a few bucks, get a few bonuses (hi-res art and music!), and feel good supporting a talented crew of indie game developers. PROTIP: You will want this game when it hits in October. Trust me. I know this stuff.

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re playing an intense online first person shooter with a few dozen people from around the world. You have an arsenal of powerful weaponry at your disposal, guns with hundreds of bullets, grenades, bombs, spears, things with poison spikes, or whatever. These tools allow you to stay away from most of the action while causing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a fun bit of indie gaming drama that rose and fell within a 48 hour time period. A couple of days ago, Toronto-based studio Ketara released Aquatica on the iTunes App Store, a free game that looked and played exactly like ThatGameCompany&#8217;s flOw. It seems the general gaming public didn&#8217;t like that, and a [...]]]></description>

For an $85 portable machine designed to play tons of media files along with retro console/handheld games, it does a pretty good job. The system is small, performs well, has a good looking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a fan of Songbird since it was still in early beta. Now that I have an iPod Touch and am forced to use iTunes from time to time, I&#8217;m an even bigger fan. For the uninitiated, Songbird is a full-featured, cross platform, open source music player/discovery tool built on the Mozilla engine. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, Edge is back on the iTunes App Store. I hesitated to post about this for one specific reason: no one is sure why. Did Langdell fall into a bottomless pit in Sparta? Did Mobigame make some sort of deal with him? Am I in some sort of parallel universe? Either way, it&#8217;s back, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

I made a few, but this Ultimate Chimera one seems the coolest, and it&#8217;s the least spoilerey for those of you who haven&#8217;t beaten the game. It&#8217;s only available in one size, [...]]]></description>
