<link>http://www.yougamers.com/previews/20228_shattered_horizon_-_gc_08_preview/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Futuremark Games Studio is at the Leipzig Games Convention this week, and they put up a show demoing an early build of their first game, Shattered Horizon, for YouGamers. It wasn't hands-on, but it answered a lot of questions. How does the game from the guys who made 3DMark Vantage look at this point?]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[3DMark Vantage vs. Games]]></title>
<link>http://www.yougamers.com/articles/19939_3dmark_vantage_vs_games/</link>
<description><![CDATA[The discussion on the validity of synthetic benchmarks over game benchmarks to determine video card performance is as old as the first synthetic benchmark, and you have probably heard it all before. Still, we took a stab at the issue. How exactly 3DMark Vantage does against a large set of "real world benchmarks" when trying to determine the performance of the latest hardware offerings from ATI and NVIDIA?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The major press conferences of E3 are over. It was interesting to see what was said, but even more interesting are the omissions and the rumors flying around.

<title><![CDATA[Review: Alone in the Dark]]></title>
<link>http://www.yougamers.com/reviews/19519_alone_in_the_dark/</link>
<description><![CDATA[The revival of the Alone in the Dark series promises great things - "Immersive presentation, multiple gameplay aspects, breathtaking cinematics that blend seamlessly with the gameplay". Sugar-coated PR-speak often bends the truth in creative ways, but in this case, nothing can prepare you for the horror that Eden Games and Atari have created.]]></description>

<link>http://www.yougamers.com/reviews/19142_age_of_conan_hyborian_adventures/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Funcom's mega-MMO Age of Conan has now been out for a couple of weeks, and it's time to say something definite about it - and give out that ever-important score. Age of Conan starts out fine as the early parts of the game received tons of last-minute polish for the launch, but once you get into the proper game... what lies beyond the newbie lands?]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Preview: Age Of Conan: First Impressions]]></title>
<link>http://www.yougamers.com/previews/18859_age_of_conan_first_impressions/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Age of Conan tries to entice people with blood, decapitations, boobies and other "interesting" things worthy of a hard M-rating on the box. It's still early days, but is there any meat behind the flashy exterior? MMO launches have traditionally been troublesome, and Age of Conan has already got some questionable press over it's first days, but how does it play? Is the game any good? Read on...]]></description>

<link>http://www.yougamers.com/reviews/18629_trials_2_second_edition/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Simple game ideas are often the best ones, and when you combine a simple idea with pixel-perfect implementation, you have a great game. Trials 2: Second Edition is a textbook example of a simple, skill-intensive game idea polished to perfection and married with pretty high-tech visuals. Do you have the driving skills to take on the insane tracks of Trials 2: Second Edition?]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Review: Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition]]></title>
<link>http://www.yougamers.com/reviews/18354_assassins_creed_directors_cut_edition/</link>
<description><![CDATA[Altair's back-stabbing adventures received a decisively mixed response on the consoles. Assassin's Creed managed to look nice and present some fairly advanced engine technology, but the underlying gameplay left people wanting for more. The much-delayed PC version has finally arrived, complete with "Director's Cut Edition" branding. So, is it something worth checking out, or do we have Yet Another Botched Ubisoft Console Port in our hands?]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Review: Universe at War: Earth Assault]]></title>
<link>http://www.yougamers.com/reviews/17179_universe_at_war_earth_assault/</link>
<description><![CDATA[RTS games are almost as old as the beige box itself, so most new games in the genre wisely tend to offer little in the way of blazing innovation.  Petroglyph have followed suit with Universe at War: Earth Assault but they've stuffed a few trick cards up their sleeves.  Not least is the fact that humans no longer save the day!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The much-loved Tomb Raider series marches onwards with title number 8, called Tomb Raider: Underworld.  Returning to the time and feel of Tomb Raider: Legend, the third feather in Crystal Dynamics' Lara-cap promises more of everything: more polygons, more effects, more puzzles, and more moves.  Is it possible to have too much of a good thing?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yo ho ho, and a bottle of your finest hors d'age brandy.  Time for a spot of piratin' (or farmin', or minin', or grindin') on the Seven Seas in Bounty Bay Online - an MMORPG originally for the Far Eastern market, then Germany and finally the UK, and US. With a free client, and a 10 day trial, is this 17th century adventure-exploration game worth a few pieces of eight?]]></description>
