		<title>Review: Joby Gorillapod Original</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m always on the look out for new gadgets and technology that will make daily activities easier.

		<title>Review: Battlefield Bad Company 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve taken something of a dislike to all things FPS of late, with the exception of MAG with it&#8217;s uniqueness in scale. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t enjoy the genre, it&#8217;s more that I have started to find it rather tedious, repetitive and if I&#8217;m honest boring. I think Modern Warfare 2 was the final [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heavy Rain Feature Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Evolution pushes things forward, I take that as a given, however evolution takes many forms and not every type or step in that forward movement is exactly what I would term evolutionary or progressive. Take modern cinema, the recent release of James Cameron&#8217;s Avatar has been hailed by many as a pivotal moment in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heavy Rain Launch Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Heavy Rain is a game I have been looking forward to for over five years now. It&#8217;s one of the main reasons I invested in a PS3 and will be in my opinion a game that changes the video game landscape forever. That&#8217;s quite a bold statement and it&#8217;s not one I make likely out [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been nearly ten years since I first discovered DJ Shadow; late one night listening to some alternative music radio broadcast.

		<title>Hama 61 Tripod</title>

Even though the Zi8 has EIS (Electronic Image Stabilisation) it still is no match for a properly rigged camera placement on a tripod. While wanting a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unboxing Mass Effect 2 &amp; Dante&#8217;s Inferno Collectors Editions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Equipped with my shiny new Kodak Zi8 I thought a good way to start would be with some unboxing videos &#8211; YouTube compression has been applied but the videos should be available in 720p when YouTube is finished processing them&#8230; Enjoy.

		<title>Kodak Zi8 Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few months I have been carefully considering investing in a HD video recording solution. At first I thought that it would be much too expensive with most HD equipment far exceeding my basic recording needs and indeed my budget. The GeekCaster News Network and GeekCaster Store however both need HD video elements [...]]]></description>

While that may not always be the case, the ability to produce art of a consistently high quality is something to revere and respect in and of itself. End Times is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review: Bayonetta Xbox 360</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bayonetta runs the risk of falling into just about every cliché in the book. On the surface it could be considered a style over substance button masher; targeted at sex starved teenagers with players taking control of a busty femme fatale who dispatches her enemies with an almost unequaled panache.
