Funcom's Dreamfall comes out this week. I have a feeling it's going to be really, really good. It's the sequel to The Longest Journey, one of the last great traditional graphic adventure games, but it's very different in gameplay from that title. If you've never been a fan of the point and click adventures, don't let that turn you off. It's more of a hybrid title, a full 3D world with various types of gameplay depending on the situation. For more, check out our full preview.

Square Enix's Final Fantasy XI comes out for Xbox 360. It definitely seems like one of the most multiplatform MMOs out there, now on three separate systems. I'm curious to see how it'll sell on 360.

Nintendo's Brain Age is also released this week. I have a feeling this title could do pretty well if Nintendo markets it right, but even if that happens it's going to take some time before it finds its audience.

Still working on cleaning up my back library of games. I finished up Yoshi's Island (SNES), and started working on The Legend of Zelda (NES). This weekend I got back into Ocarina of Time (N64).
