			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;who will probably love it anyway. Like <em><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/09/09/upgrade-complete-flash-game/">Upgrade Complete</a></em>, the flash-based <em>Is This A Game?</em> focuses on one aspect of (modern) video games and just runs with it. And like <em>Upgrade Complete</em>, <em>Is This A Game?</em> is simple, funny and addictive. The point? Unlock achievements using your mouse, your keyboard, your brain, and lots and lots of your time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26838" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/is-this-a-game-1.jpg" alt="is this a game" width="600" height="539" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s much more abstract than <em>Upgrade Complete</em> because there really is no other game. It&#8217;s just you and the menus. Still don&#8217;t understand how it works? I unlocked the &#8220;Nope, no game here&#8221; achievement by clicking on the word &#8220;Game&#8221;. Click the instructions and you unlock an achievement (what&#8217;s funny is that there are video games that award you for finishing their tutorial/initial stages). Given it&#8217;s mechanic, there&#8217;s no real incentive to go through <em>Is This A Game?</em> a second time. That is <em>if</em> you manage complete it. I&#8217;m pretty sure I won&#8217;t find all of the achievements. Itching to be virtually rewarded? Go to <a href="http://saybox.cmsbox.co.uk/games/award/">CMSBox</a> to get your fix.</p>
<p>And I just unlocked an achievement while writing this post. Seriously. WTF?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listen, you can talk about the story in the <em>Halo</em> series and the graphics in <em>Gears of War</em>, but it really all comes down to getting down and tearing stuff up.<em> Fragger</em> strips away all the details and gets things down to basics: blowing dudes up.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16459" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tb-frgbgi.jpg" alt="fragger browser game" width="600" height="415" /></p>
<p>In the browser game <em>Fragger</em>, you aim grenades in order to solve problems. Er, puzzles. <em>Puzzles</em>. Though, in a pinch, I&#8217;d bet a grenade could solve an awful lot of problems.</p>
<p>Underneath, this simple game is about strategy (and blowing dudes up), and it&#8217;s important to consider each move carefully, because until you can prove yourself, you&#8217;ve got a limited amount of grenades.</p>
