Mike Antonucci and Dean Takahashi, columnists for the San Jose Mercury News, have a gaming podcast called Dean & Nooch On Gaming. Takahashi earlier wrote a book about the Xbox. In this week's edition, each of them pick their top three games of all time; Halo is Takahashi's top pick.

The podcast isn't Halo or Bungie specific, but issues are generally pretty short (about ten minutes per episode, compared to 'casts by Major Nelson or the Podtacular guys, which have been topping 60 minutes lately) and unlike some of the newer broadcasts, this one is dense and polished, with little dead air or repeated sound effects; well worth the few seconds it takes to download and the few minutes it takes to listen to.

NOTE: This latest episode, number eight, isn't visible yet at Odeo or Podcast.net, but will show up if you subscribe via iTunes.
