		<title>Red Steal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As reported in the China Daily, video game production outsourcing to China is predicted to exceed $2.5 billion by 2010.  Given that China is currently the fourth-largest economy in the world, with recorded economic growth reported as 10.7% last year, it&#8217;s no surprise that interest from game developers and publishers in establishing a long-term [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=39&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Jack Thompson: &#8220;Are You Nuts?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone&#8217;s favorite pantomime attorney Jack Thompson was making headlines across the gaming world, following his comical email exchanges with Gena Feist, Take-Two&#8217;s VP and Associate General Counsel regarding his criticism of Take-Two&#8217;s business practices.  Whilst the legality of this is questionable under the terms of the legal agreement between Thompson and Take-Two, perhaps what [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=38&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Seung-Hui Cho: Games Not Motivation for Va. Tech</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the release of Virginia Governor Tim Kaine&#8217;s report detailing the findings of the Virginia Tech massacre review panel, the influences of violent video games were dismissed as a contributing factor in killer Seung-Hui Cho&#8217;s actions.  Whilst this will offer little comfort to the victims&#8217; families, it is a welcome development in the almost-daily [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=36&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Insert Random N-Gage Gag Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite the spectacular failure of earlier attempts by Finnish communications giant Nokia to crack the notoriously difficult handheld gaming market, and the subsequent ridicule that was heaped upon them because of it, they are nevertheless trying again.  Word on the street is, predictably, similar to last time &#8211; more ridicule and mild speculation as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=35&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Families That Play Together, Stay Together &#8211; Indoors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Casual games bring families together.  Whilst it sounds disgustingly like an insidious marketing slogan, that&#8217;s what PopCap are telling us after revealing the results of a recent survey of casual gamers &#8211; the largest survey of it&#8217;s type ever conducted, according to their claims.  However, upon closer scrutiny of the figures, the conclusions drawn could prove [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=34&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dare To Be Different?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, in a somewhat &#8216;daring&#8217; move (I promise that&#8217;ll be the only time, ok?), Sir Richard Branson has acquired the rights to resurrect &#8216;classic&#8217; British science fiction comic hero Dan Dare in a cross-platform deal that gives Branson the rights to the publishing, television, movie and video game licenses for the franchise.  This is the latest high-profile entertainment [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=33&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Let Sleeping Dogs Lie &#8211; Or Just Kill Them</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And so the Manhunt 2 saga continues unabated.  Whilst it feels almost as if Manhunt 2&#8217;s media coverage should have it&#8217;s own channel (or blog &#8211; maybe the nice folks at Weblogs, Inc could capitalize on this missed opportunity), today&#8217;s installment &#8211; from the opposition, no less &#8211; raises a valid point regarding the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=32&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Write Objectively, Or Die Trying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the more interesting panel discussions at this year&#8217;s Games Convention Developers Conference focused on the press coverage of the Nintendo Wii, and the implications of this on the rest of the industry.  Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht ventured forth the opinion that, should the Wii continue to grow in popularity to the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=31&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Victory&#8217;, But At What Cost?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The powers that be &#8211; those self-appointed guardians of public morality, the ESRB &#8211; have deemed that Manhunt 2 is in fact suitable for release in the United States under the &#8216;M&#8217; (for Mature) classification.  However, whilst this may be good news for fans of the original game (of which I&#8217;m reliably informed there [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=30&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Out of Body Experiences with Professor Funk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My, what an interesting morning.  Having suffered through several days without a single article examining the relationship of violent video games to real-life violence, imagine my relief when I came across this article.  Like the dry, often sandy areas of extreme temperatures and sparse vegetation miss the water condensed from atmospheric vapor. 
The article focuses on 2K Boston&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gamehed.wordpress.com&blog=1458004&post=29&subd=gamehed&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
