		<title>Blood Bowl Early Moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bill Abner has noticed a lot of AI blunders in Cyanide&#8217;s Blood Bowl which shows just how much more he knows about the game than I do. My solo campaign Elf team is getting hammered, mostly because I&#8217;m still getting used to how differently all of the teams play.
Though it looks like a sports game, [...]]]></description>

Troy, Tom and Julian look at the year so far and look ahead to see what games they liked and what they are anticipating. Detours into diving, naval warfare and whether Starcraft 2 will appeal to the masses.

		<title>Why Facebook Games May Matter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Brian Reynolds gets hired by the biggest social gaming company in America, either he&#8217;s selling out to the one part of the game business that is rapidly expanding or Social Games are about to get a lot more interesting.
Here&#8217;s hoping it&#8217;s the latter.
What the press release doesn&#8217;t say is that the new Zynga studio [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strategy Games of the Half Year &#8211;  2009 Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Six months in and 2009 already has some strong contenders for best strategy game of the year. In all, it&#8217;s been a strong half year with a few surprises. But, with the caveat that I have not played a final buld Blood Bowl yet, I still had no trouble coming up with the three best [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slitherine Adapts Miniature Rule Set for PC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Slitherine Studios was born as a computer game company formed by two miniature wargamers (they played miniature wargames, I mean. They aren&#8217;t especially small.) A couple of years ago they took a break from computer game development to co-publish a new rule set for ancients miniatures. The Field of Glory: Ancient and Medieval Wargaming Rules

		<title>Print Screen June</title>
		<description><![CDATA[E3 kind of screwed with the usual publishing schedule, so my Print Screen column is up now &#8211; a few weeks later than usual. Plus had some back and forth with my Crispy Gamer editors because the book was a pain in the ass to really make comfortable to most readers.

		<title>Sims 3 and Religion: The Answer that Isn&#8217;t</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Give Tom Chick credit. He&#8217;s not afraid to ask the obvious question that puts people on the spot. 
Okay, well let me ask you about another tricky issue. Something that I think is conspicuously absent from The Sims is something very important in many people&#8217;s day-to-day lives. That&#8217;s religion. How come the Sims has never [...]]]></description>
