		<description><![CDATA[Video games are suppose to be fun to play, but what about to watch? A famous name in Japan&#8217;s video game culture is Takahashi-meijin who&#8217;s special gift is making games look fun. In shooting games, if you want to get high scores, you shoot the enemies as soon as they appear on the screen, but <a href="http://www.alwaysontechnologies.com/blog/2008/10/18/making-games-look-fun/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

How can he chose someone with so little experience in the area that America needs right now, economics, international relations and fighting terrorism around the globe.

His games defined &#8216;cutting edge&#8217; graphics on the PC for many years. But even he can&#8217;t fight against the biggest weakness of the iPhone, a short battery life.
