The Mainstreaming of Microsoft on CG Online is an article that attempts to justify the odd premise that "The computer and console game industry is one of the only 'artistic' fields where 'mainstreaming' can actually produce a better product." (the kind of thinking that leads to games like Space Bunnies Must Die). Also, the official (and annoyingly noisy!) Rune: Viking Warlord site is online. Meanwhile, THQ Announces 15 GCN Titles for 2002 on Cube.IGN.Com has word on just under 2.5³ upcoming 'Cube titles. Also, Chief Xbox Officer addresses analysts on Gamespot is an interview about the Xbox with Robbie Bach that says "The first real online games, which include such products as Infogrames' Unreal Championship, will become available in the first half of 2002." Finally, PlayStation 2 For Dummies is now available (thanks Chris Johnson)... just how dumb are these dummies, anyway?
