I can't friggin wait until Lumines II hits the Playstation Portable. It's going to sport 60 skins, wireless two-player, battle modes and streaming video. Can't wait! Unfortunately, we're all going to have to, because the game doesn't hit until November.

To rub salt in our wounds, Buena Vista just sent out the list of music videos that will show up in the game.

Music videos appearing in the game will include (artist and song):

* Beck - "Black Tambourine"
* Black Eyed Peas - "Pump It"
* Chemical Brothers - "Star Guitar"
* Fatboy Slim - "Gangster Trippin'"
* The Go! Team - "Bottle Rocket"
* Gwen Stefani - "Hollaback Girl"
* Hoobastank - "Born to Lead"
* Junior Senior - "Take My Time"
* Missy Elliott - "Lose Control"
* New Order - TBD

The will also include exclusive music by Japanese artist Shinichi Osawa, aka Mondo Grosso; Ken Ishii, Techriders and songs Breezer by Junkie XL and Reality Check by Stigmato Inc.

"In order to showcase my vision for 'Lumines II,' we needed to find music and videos with just the right tone, mix and energy to incorporate into the game," said Tetsuya Mizuguchi, chief creative officer of Q ENTERTAINMENT. "I couldn't be happier with the result and am excited to get the game into players' hands."

Mizuguchi is, of course, completely right, Lumines is almost as much about the music as it is about the gameplay. This is the only way I can imagine myself watching music videos. Brian Crecente
