		<description><![CDATA[Wow, this looks great. It's gotten, like, ten times better since the Comic-Con footage, which was kinda twee and overly Tim Burtonian. 
You know what I mean. Sometimes Burton has just a leetle bit of a tendency to show Johnny Depp tittering in a funny suit and then call it a day. But I'm all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.com&blog=5290478&post=8442&subd=timenerdworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Tower defense isn't a genre that really needed much twisting. Put an IV in my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.com&blog=5290478&post=8177&subd=timenerdworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
