		<description><![CDATA[Call of Duty is a franchise of military-themed first person shooters, known for &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Call_of_Duty_media&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;yearly installments&lt;/a&gt;. The latest Call of Duty game heavily marketed the addition of a dog companion, mocked by some gamers as evidence that the developers have run out of ideas.

The above poster draws parallels between the Call of Duty franchise&#039;s prolific release schedule and yours. Perhaps with a hint of dismissal based on the assumption that a relatively short iteration time affected the games&#039; individual quality. A bit unfair, since the different heroes lend themselves to unique-feeling, satisfying puzzles in each installment and Puzzlescript lends itself well to rapid iteration.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since it&#039;s excluded from being on this list by virtue of being made by one of the site&#039;s editors, it seems worth adding here that Terry&#039;s small game &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6877455&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Collapse&lt;/a&gt; brings something special to the form. It might be the most...evocative of the puzzlescript games so far.

I was also really taken with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=7620162&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Signal&lt;/a&gt; (another puzzlescript game not featured on the site), with its somewhat deceptively conventional opening rounds and its five or six mechanical reveals, each revealing things already true about its ruleset from the start but simply impossible or difficult to intuit until teased out by later screens. But maybe I&#039;m just a sucker for exactly that sort of structure: secrets opening not new vistas but wrinkles in the acts you&#039;ve already been performing.

Collapse may share that structure to a certain extent, now that I think of it, which might explain why I was particularly drawn to both.]]></description>
