		<title>Looking for new name</title>
		<link>http://www.darksteam.info/page/index.html/_/dsnews/looking-for-new-name-r123</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Well since Preloader is evolving to new age, we here at DarkSteam thought that a new name should be given.<br />
Yeah, yeah, we know that this Preloader sounds good and simple for most of you (especially for those that don't care about the name, just to get games <img src='http://www.darksteam.info/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />).<br />
Well guys, we want some ideas from you for the new "Preloader"<br />
Since this was originally a shoutbox idea that turned into a good chat with some good names, we thought that it would be better to post your ideas here and then we can simply vote!<br />
<br />
We are waiting for your ideas at <a href='http://www.darksteam.info/topic/1933-looking-for-new-name/' class='bbc_url' title=''>http://www.darksteam...g-for-new-name/</a><br />
Best idea wins a PLUS membership and 10k points!]]></description>

		<link>http://www.darksteam.info/page/index.html/_/dsnews/preloader-assassins-creed-2-r108</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://cdn.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/33230/header_292x136.jpg?t=1302213774' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span><br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>	About the Game</strong><br />
<br />
Assassin’s Creed® 2 is the follow-up to the title that became the fastest-selling new IP in video game history. The highly anticipated title features a new hero, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble, and a new era, the Renaissance.<br />
Assassin’s Creed 2 retains the core gameplay experience that made the first opus a resounding success and features new experiences that will surprise and challenge players.<br />
Assassin’s Creed 2 is an epic story of family, vengeance and conspiracy set in the pristine, yet brutal, backdrop of a Renaissance Italy. Ezio befriends Leonardo da Vinci, takes on Florence’s most powerful families and ventures throughout the canals of Venice where he learns to become a master assassin.<ul class='bbc'><li><strong class='bbc'>EZIO, A NEW ASSASSIN FOR A NEW ERA</strong> Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a young Italian noble who will learn the ways of the assassins after his family was betrayed and he looks to seek vengeance. He is a lady’s man, a free soul with panache yet has a very human side to his personality. Through him, you become a master assassin.<br /></li><li><strong class='bbc'>RENAISSANCE ITALY</strong> Italy in the 15th century was less a country and more a collection of city-states where families with political and economic strength began to take leadership roles in cities like Florence and Venice. This journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world takes place in a time in history where culture and art were born alongside some of the most chilling stories of corruption, greed and murder.<br /></li><li><strong class='bbc'>A NEW-FOUND FREEDOM</strong> You will be able to perform missions when you want and how you want in this open-ended world that brings back free-running and adds elements such as swimming and even flying to the adventure. The variety in gameplay adds another layer for you to truly play through the game any way you choose.<br /></li><li><strong class='bbc'>DYNAMIC CROWD </strong>Discover a living, breathing world where every character is an opportunity for the player. Blending in with the crowd is easier, working with in-game characters provide ample rewards but can also lead to surprising consequences.<br /></li><li><strong class='bbc'>BECOME A MASTER ASSASSIN</strong> Perfect your skills to become a master assassin where you brandish new weapons, learn to disarm enemies then use their weapons against them, and assassinate enemies using both hidden blades.</li></ul>
