			<title>Battlefield 3: Multiplayer</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Having only completed a few missions on the single player I wasn't planing on reviewing Battlefield 3 so early but I felt the need to comment on the multiplayer side of things. After playing plenty of Battlefield Bad Company 2 I was all set to make Battlefield 3 my next shooter to play to death. Unfortunately, by playing Bad Company 2 so much it's actually greatly lowered my opinion of Battlefield 3's multiplayer. The thing is, Battlefield 3 has some incredibly frustrating bugs and mechanics that Bad Company 2 didn't have. ]]></description>

			<title>MotorStorm Apocalypse</title>
			<description><![CDATA[The world of MotorStorm is a racing and music festival that travels the world to find the crazies places to races almost all types of race machines. For MotorStorm Apocalypse this place is an unnamed American city which is experiencing earth quakes on an apocalyptic scale. Everyone has evacuated the city. All that remains are the remains of sky scrapes, fly overs, homes and some crazy mofos who wanna race.]]></description>

			<title>Sonisphere 2011, Saturday, Slipknot</title>
			<description><![CDATA[First up on the Sunday was House of Pain. Most people instantly think of Jump Around when they hear that name, I am no exception. Their set was quality, better than I expected really. It was well performed hip hop that you can't help but nod along too. ]]></description>

			<title>Sonisphere 2011, Saturday, Biffy Clyro</title>
			<description><![CDATA[So far each year at Sonisphere there's always been a band that didn't particular fit in with the rest of the bands. In 2009 there was the ABBA tribute band, BjÃ¶rn Again. 2010 had The Fab Beatles. This year it was the tour of the comedy lounge band Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine.]]></description>

			<title>Sonisphere 2011, Friday, Metallica</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Once again I have an untimely review to write. It’s getting a to be a bit of a habit, leaving some time between doing and reviewing. Something always comes up. Anyway, here’s my review of Friday at Sonisphere 2011.  ]]></description>

			<title>Download 2011, Sunday, Disturbed</title>
			<description><![CDATA[The morning started off nicely but then the rain came and it stayed all day. It was wet, which brings me to the first band of the day, Madina Lake. They were terrible. I do remember for a time that I liked a couple of songs but that was a long time ago. Even though it was early morning, they shouldn't have been on the main stage. ]]></description>

			<title>Download 2011, Saturday, System of a Down</title>
			<description><![CDATA[For breakfast we had some sausages and Skindred. Skindred are a band that gets the crowd going with it's mix of heavy metal and reggae sounds. The singer, Benji Webbe, was probably the best dressed artist with his sparkly Union Flag jacket and top hat. His loud and over the top attire was only shadowed by his stage presence. Now this must have been the third time I've seen these guys live and once again I enjoyed their set no end. Their music is perfect for getting people into a great mood. You can't help but move and sing along. Take a listen to Nobody or Warning (features Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix) at full blast and tell me otherwise, I dare ya!]]></description>

			<title>Download 2011, Friday, Def Leppard</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Download has pretty much become the official start of summer for me with 2011 being my third trip to the festival. This year our group had dwindled a little to just two, myself and Neil, aka ginger and beard (as dubbed by the leader of Ginger Lovers Anonymous), and "the gammon guys" (as dubbed by some random guy who saw our gammon on the BBQ... mmm gammon). We headed down on the Thursday evening, set up camp, found some random guy almost dead,  cooked pork chops and did some drinking. Bring on Friday...]]></description>

			<title>OH NO! Not Another Rewrite!</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Once again I've come to a point where I want to my CMS and accompanying framework. Sigh. Actually I have good reasons for doing it. First up is that recently I've added quite a bit to the CMS and have realised it quite a hassle to add something new. The ability to extend the CMS is there but it's a pain. I want to rework this to be more manageable. Secondly, after having tried to rework a lot of the CMS's inner workings without a rewrite it's become very messy and inconsistent. ]]></description>
