		<title>I Fantasise About This Being Over Part Six: Failure and Resolve</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After this appalling experience, I don't think I'd trust them to develop a bout of diarrhoea, let alone anything resembling an entertaining game.]]></description>

		<title>I Fantasise About This Being Over Part Five: The Horror! The Horror! 25 hours with FFX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somehow, I didn’t expect it to be so much worse than I had anticipated. Final Fantasy X is terrible. Awful. Lamentable.]]></description>

		<title>I Fantasise About This Being Over Part Four: I Hate Fantasy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love The Lord of the Rings and it saddens me to see how it has been the progenitor of such an uninteresting and unimaginative genre. For a genre that goes by the name of fantasy, unimaginative seems to me to be the worst crime of all. I am thoroughly sick of elves, dwarves and orcs. I am sick of heroes on EPIC quests that decide the fate of the very world itself. There's only so many times you can stomach reading about a collection of archetypes behaving in a stereotypical and two dimensional way in a cookie-cutter generic world.]]></description>

		<title>I Fantasise About This Being Over Part Three: Storytelling In Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In written fiction, the mantra is usually show, don't tell. In games, that mantra could well be: reveal through play, don't show. Essentially, if you wanted to sit back and watch the plot unfold without any involvement, you'd choose to go watch TV rather than play a game.]]></description>

		<title>I Fantasise About This Being Over Part Two: Why I Hate Consoles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bottom line is this: if we weren't developing every title to be played by a slackjawed couch-dwelling idiot, I'd probably be playing Sim City 6 by now. I hate consoles.]]></description>

		<title>I Fantasise About This Being Over Part One: The Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it's old. No doubt it will look terrible. It's a console RPG. Words that should never appear in any kind of conjunction. It's set in a fantasy world. Just what we need, eh? More fantasy worlds. We don't have enough of those, after all. We have a a guy whose city is destroyed by Big Bad who teams up with some other archetypes to go on a quest to destroy said Big Bad. Well, at least they managed to avoid a clichéd plot then...]]></description>

		<title>Somewhere between love and hate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There’s a thin line between love and hate and I’m walking it. I say walking, but mostly I’m running along it, arms stretched out to keep my balance. More often than not, I fall: crashing to earth painfully in a cloud of sweary anger. Mirror’s Edge is a breathtaking failure of a game that gets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ada Lovelace Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Ada Lovelace Day, an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in tech and science fields. I’m not much of a blogger, it’s true, but I’m willing to take part in the day’s activities in my own small way. The idea is to write about our heroines in science and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Girls suck at maths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are no functional differences between the genders when it comes to maths and science disciplines. In terms of demonstrated ability, females look to have caught up with their male counterparts over the last twenty years, but in terms of numbers, they remain a minority in the related fields. We need to continue dispelling the old myths that are dismissive of girls' abilities and we need to overcome traditional gender barriers by providing inspirational examples of success.]]></description>
