My favorite (and perhaps I'm a tad bit biased about this) is the Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal (episode 1). The game keeps its predecessors' sense of humor, adventure, and it's complex-yet-simple puzzles. The original VO cast returns as well, as does Michael Land, who was the composer of the previous games' soundtracks. The game is the first part in five 4-5 hour episodes that will be released monthly. The game will be released for WiiWare and PC.

The Bigs 2 lights up the scoreboards again as 2K Sport's arcade baseball title returns. If you're a fan of baseball but not a fan of the low-scoring, ultra realistic games that are out there now, then you will be in for a treat with the Bigs 2. Suffice to say that it's all about offense, I once won a game 22-19 as the Pittsburgh Pirates playing the Baltimore Orioles, two teams not necessarily known for their offensive prowess. The Bigs 2 slides home on the 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, and the PSP.

CID The Dummy jumps onto consoles today as the European platformer finally hits the States. The game features a crash test dummy going through an action-adventure-puzzle game. Expect a Ratchet and Clank that's not as good as Ratchet and Clank. The game will be released for Wii, PS2, and PSP
