OK, here we go. Looks like the PS2 has dropped to $179. Just a $20 cut. Now we wait to see what MS and Nintendo do…

Gamespy has a nice article covering the XBox conference held at E3. Some very good news for XBox Live! members inside. Basically you’ll be able to access your account from the web, see what your Friends are playing, and even send invites via MSN Messenger or any device that supports it (like cell phones). Sweet.

How about an 8 minute Halo 2 video? Woot! Sorry to say, its IGN Insider only. But if you’ve got a sub, I’ve got a link.

G4TV and Entertainment Weekly got together to compile a list of the 100 best games of all time. It is *painful* to watch. Worst of all is how clueless they are about old games. As one simple example, M.U.L.E. made it in but they listed it as being for the C-64. Now, what’s the name of the planet in MULE? Irata. Atari spelled backwards. Wouldn’t you think that’d give them a clue? In describing XCom the host talks about it being a blend of strategic decision making and turn-based combat, then sneers and says “Ew, that sounds like a job to me.”

If G4, the gaming channel, can’t treat games with a tad of respect, how can we expect the rest of the world ever to treat them as anything but fluff?
