Penn&#8217;s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has long housed an enormous collection of priceless wonders from an all-star list of ancient civilizations &#8212; Romans, Greeks and the Imperial Chinese among them. Saturday, the museum hosted another of the world&#8217;s great wonders: An eclectic and thorough collection of the world&#8217;s best Christmas beers. Jubilantly, I glided [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ridge Center: An Interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Less than a five minute walk away from my apartment on Spring Garden, just up Ridge Avenue, sits &#8220;The Ridge Center&#8221;, Philadelphia&#8217;s main intake for single, homeless men. During the course of a Saturday afternoon, fellow Temple journalism student John Kopp and I headed over to the Ridge Center to ask folks some questions, interview [...]]]></description>

		<title>NY Games Conference - De Ja Deux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The second installation of our trip to NY Games Conference finds us connecting with our younger selves. Though our younger selves had it much rougher than these whipper snappers. &#34;I had to fight that monkey in the sleet and snow, while jumping over barrels, running uphill, both ways.&#34; So what do today&#8217;s youth think about [...]]]></description>

		<title>NY Games Conference - De Ja Vu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
What will the next console generation be about? Bigger? Better? The arms race continued? Or a streamlining of current products? Will there even be another console? *Gasp* Industry execs muse on the future of video game consoles, and push the limits of human egotism to its very edge.

		<title>Casual Monday &#8212; Impending LBP Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The crew at QP took a long and unnecessary hiatus over the past month (primarily writing other places, ahem) but we promise you such a thing won&#8217;t happen again (lest we get pulled away to work on the Peter Jackson/Halo project or something &#8212; the likelihood of which is akin to being flown into by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mirror&#8217;s Edge to be Released November 11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Mirror&#8217;s Edge, the first-person action game that is totally going to rock my socks, will be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11. That&#8217;s under two months away! Oh my. Unfortunately, PC gamers won&#8217;t be getting it until &#8220;later in the winter.&#8221; For me, &#8220;late winter&#8221; is around May, but I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loose Ends: Confessions of a Board Mind Pt. 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It has been exactly one week without an Xbox 360 and I&#8217;ve ventured into this thing people call &#8220;life&#8221;. Let me tell you it&#8217;s a terrifying world where people swim the english channel, adopt twins and become president. One thing I&#8217;ve learned this week: UPS doesn&#8217;t have a tracking system sophisticated enough to satisfy my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loose Ends: Confessions of a Bored Mind Pt. 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It happened. Brady tears his ACL and now I have to endure life without 360 for the next two to three weeks. And so I will document my experience in three parts. Firstly, the initial experience, secondly, life without the box, and thirdly, the return. So without further ado&#8230;. Firstly.

It technically started when I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Viking Battle for Asgard: Tap B to Read [Review]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Developer: Creative Assembly
Publisher: Sega
 
The water in Viking: Battle for Asgard  is phenomenal. Seriously, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve seen better water in this generation, even in a Team Ninja product. I could just set on a plateau and stare out over the sea for hours. They really did a good job with the water. [...]]]></description>

In what Harmonix and MTV Games are calling an &#8220;industry first&#8221; Rock Band 2 users will be able to export the 55 songs Rock Band &#8220;Le Firste&#8221; and play them on the most recent version.
Finally, a company that isn&#8217;t trying to rip you off at every turn with updates, lack of backwards compatibility and marketing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Castle Crashers: Bringing Down the Gates [Review]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Do you like old videogames? Well me too, so when I played the demo for Castle Crashers I immediately understood what Microsoft&#8217;s &#8220;Summer of Arcade&#8221; hype was all about. River City Ransom, Secret of Mana, Mario 3, and Legend of Zelda immediately jump to mind when thinking of Castle Crashers for XBLA, and all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Afrika Footage Released Into the Wild</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Beware! This is 12 minutes you&#8217;ll never get back! While at one point in time Afrika for the PS3 scintillated our primordial senses, we now just wish we could play some Pokemon Snap (we love them Pokemans). After the entire 12 minutes of video above had finished rolling, we had learned two important things about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Street Fighter IV Hands-On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My affinity for videogames, especially those of the fighting variety, is no secret. I’ve been known to throw down the gauntlet over every iteration of Smash Bros. since it’s inception (with no signs of slowing) and I’m prone to lecture people on the irreconcilable D-pad found on the Xbox 360 controllers, specifically due to it’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Metal Slug 7 Website Goes Live</title>

The official website for Metal Slug 7 for the Nintendo DS went up today. It&#8217;s pretty empty right now save for a few screenshots and an old trailer. There are, however, downloadable ring tones and clever profiles of new and returning characters if you have a few minutes to kill at work. (Spoiler Alert: Tarma [...]]]></description>
