I'm sorta of working on this project to familiarize myself with jquery, so I'm not going to take the time to build my own database and feeds to sort everything else.  That I I doubt the audience for this will be all that large to even justify it.  I guess I'm trying to make it useful for the user, so they don't have to wait 5-10 seconds for the app to retrieve and parse the results.  I still poking around with the feedburner stuff, but I'm probably just going to move onto searching and come back to the news feed later.

There's no way to query GB for their news feed is there?  Does Feedburner have a decent API, so I don't have to query the feed and return an excessive number of results?  Also the API doesn't support new release browsing?

Hey guys, 
 
I'm building a little app for Chrome that uses the GB api and GB news feed.  I was just wondering  if anyone is familiar with feedburner (what GB uses for its newsfeed) and if it has an API I can use, so I don't have to return all the news stories and parse the five newest.  I want to query for 5 at a time.  Any ideas?

Wrapped the new version earlier, and it has review browsing with dlc_names if they exist.  I was trying to clean up the code a bit and it should be looking better .

A terrible beta version is accessible from the Chrome extensions.  I have Reviews paging working, just need to work a few bugs out before I post it.  Ideally it will have news, reviews, and maybe video links, along with a text search that will return some abbreviated results for quick viewing and linking.  Any comments/complaints?

@LordAndrew:  But you can't sort beyond that?  At least not with the return?  I would have to parse the results backward to write newest to oldest?

How do you flip the sort?  I need to pull the 5 newest reviews.

Hey all, 
 
I thought I would play around with the Chrome extensions structure and I thought the GB API would be decent to use for a bit of practice.  I'm starting by making the extension pull the reviews, but I noticed that the game element of a review's node content is a call to the api for the game.  Did I miss something here?  Is just the game's name included somewhere in the Review XML?
