		<description><![CDATA[MAJOR UPDATE to DRG&#8217;s most popular app! New Virii, New Towers, New Campaign Mode, New Graphics in full HD, New Maps, all built around an improved game engine that runs the show like a swiss watch! I think this is the best Antivirus yet and possibly the best Tower Defence game on iOS right now. After the 1.5 update there were a few souls who shed a tear over the original clunky, pixelated V1.0 release. The new V2.0 brings back a lot of the flavour of the original release in a much more polished package. What&#8217;s changed? Well there is no research cost anymore to getting new programs, every few levels you get a choice of two programs. You only get to pick one so there is a new element to the game where you need to decide what meshes best with your lineup of defences. With over 20 towers now there is a new program management interface which allows you to pick which 9 to use at any one time. By the end of the game you might unlock at best 2/3 of all the towers, so every game will be a little different giving AV a lot more replay ability. Another big change is the Virii now get to hit back. Hard. Count on losing towers to waves of Firesheep, LOIC bombardment and of course rampant DOS Virii! New support system like Shield and Network will help stop the bleeding but your days of camping on the spawn point are over. Much more challenging now. Campaign mode is cool, the map changes every 14-20 waves and so do the enemies so you need to design defence systems optimized to hold off what is being thrown at you. The new iPad version is really cool, the larger form factor is so comfortable to play on. Finally, the Pro version will be getting a few extra units and maps and as before, harder settings.  :P &#8217;nuff said, The Rat &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes there is going to be a major update to Empire Ascendant! The flagship took a few heavy torpedoes in the aft hull when iOS got updated and broke the entire engine EA was created with. Even small bugs could&#8217;t be fixed without a major overhaul of the core code. Since that dark day a few really good things have happened, namely a brand new Engine which was created for Antivirus and Star Empire which will be installed into EA with a lot less work than a complete rebuild would have required. EA is a very complex game for a gaming platform where Angry Birds rules the roost, but thanks to a small yet vocal community of EA fans we&#8217;re pushing ahead with the update. While we&#8217;re in there, hd graphics, sound fx, AI improvements, numerous bug fixes and of course a save game will be implemented. We may even do an HD version for iPad if the iPhone rolls out well. Should be 3-4 weeks before release. After that, also set in the EA universe will be a Master of Orion-type 4x game modelled after the first MOO, which will definitely be iPhone and iPad as well. &#8216; nuff said, The Rat &#160;]]></description>

I&#8217;m picturing rats with British accents providing biting social commentary on a wide range of topics with occasional feline guest speakers and so on.
