		<description><![CDATA[There are very good reasons why Batman: Arkham Asylum is so critically acclaimed. It is a very good Metroid Prime clone, heavily modified to faithfully convey the characters and the world of the Batman universe. It is a good example on how to make license&#160;games.

		<description><![CDATA[I played Crisis Core some time ago and wanted to comment on its Digital Mind Wave&#160;&#8220;Mechanic&#8221;.

Aeris is actually spinning in her&#160;grave.

It is a somewhat puzzling game feature and they way I thought about it changed a lot during my playtrough. First I was confused. Confusion then quickly turned into disaffection throughout most of the game. [...]]]></description>

The Trial mode consists of a series of stages. In each of those, the player has to execute one or multiple moves. It starts with the simple execution of a special move and quickly moves on to combos of increasing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been quite a while since my last review. I have been planning to do this particular one for quite some time. I would like to discuss a game that has inspired me to think more carefully about collectibles in the first place: Beyond Good &#038;&#160;Evil.

Useless collectibles. I mean all they do is to empower [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I wrote about Red Faction: Guerrilla and how it&#8217;s competitive gameplay shaped the feel of it&#8217;s on-line community. Today I would like to talk about pretty much the opposite. A game that focuses on creativity, cooperation and sharing&#8201;&#8211;&#8201;Little Big&#160;Planet.

Also, the always superb Experience Points Podcast discussed collectibles as part of their &#8220;In Search of Secrets&#8221; Episode. Finally, being an achievement whore myself, collectibles are something I deal with on a regular basis. More than enough reasons [...]]]></description>
