In an effort to keep my programming cred (because this computer science degree has to be good for something), I’ve gone through the trouble of trying to keep my game catalog data in XML, and styling it up to look like regular HTML. I got the idea from the WOW Armory, which, like the main site, uses XML sheets to display just about everything.
Yeah…Puzzle Quest 2 (I can’t say “PQ2″ because D3 Publisher already has a game under that name) is going to be released on the PC in a few days.
