		<title>Demigod Screenshots Get Angry, Smash Things</title>

		<description>Gas Powered Games' strategy RPG Demigod (PC) has gained five new screenshots.  Here, the player-controlled giant hero can be seen taking on hordes of enemies just like Defense of the Ancients, the Warcraft III modification said to inspire the game.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Now in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/54794&quot;&gt;beta testing&lt;/a&gt; for paying pre-order customers, Demigod is set to land in February 2009.

Doesn't appear that way - it is removing the < and > tags from the HTML as it is imported from the RSS xml file.
