...only 26 PS2 software titles, and Sony is promising about 50 by the end of the year. The list contains some reputed standouts, including Madden NFL 2001 (which some are calling PlayStation2's killer app) and the snowboarding game SSX. But many of the most eagerly anticipated titles, like Metal Gear Solid 2 and the Bouncer, won't be available until spring at the earliest...
...tough to feel affection for a trapezoidal slab of metal and plastic. In fact, when I first laid eyes on Audrey, the new Internet appliance unveiled by 3Com last week, I was underwhelmed. Here we go again, I thought: yet another overpriced, underperforming PC wannabe.

However, those who play in the cricket field do NOT have those namby-pamby padded gauntlets that baseball fielders use to protect their precious little fingers. I guess cricket is just a real guy game...
...design reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry, Hollwein puts an undulating copper mesh facade in front of a wall of glass. The other sides will be coated in bronze-colored metal, and the building will have a courtyard accessible from both Mt. Auburn and J.F.K Street...
