Harvey Birdman (Capcom)

The cancelled Adult Swim series sees new life as a riotous adventure game built firmly in the mold of Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney line. The game pits players as the titular ex-superhero turned lawyer in five cases steeped deeply in the surreal, kooky cartoon comedy that initially attracted the show's cult following. With the full cast of voice actors along for the ride, it's bound to be a ridiculous day in court when the game hits the PS2, PSP and Wii in early January.

Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? (THQ)

Probably not, but you can get your learn on by picking up the PC or DS version of this popular game show. With 28 subjects and over 3,000 questions culled from grammar-school textbooks, the game simultaneously tests your knowledge of supposedly basic facts while making you feel like a moron for missing anything. Good times!

Heroes (Ubisoft)

Little is known about Ubisoft's take on NBC's breakout superhero sensation, which was officially announced this past August at Comic-Con 2007 in San Diego. However, we can safely say that it will revolve around the show's cast of gifted characters, most certainly the regenerative Claire, the electrifying Elle and the time-traveling Hiro, and likely will appear on at least one of the next-gen systems. Vague, we know, but apparently Ubisoft's superpower is keeping their lips sealed shut.

The Office (MumboJumbo)

The colorful cast of Dunder Mifflin trades paper for pixels courtesy of MumboJumbo, who locked down the exclusive rights to develop and publish games based on NBC's hot property. Initially that takes the form of a casual PC game in the vein of Diner Dash, though eventually fans can expect other games for the DS and PSP. Given the show's fantastic humor and pop-culture savvy, imagining a relatively entertaining game isn't hard. And yes, that's what she said.

Hell's Kitchen (Ludia Inc.)

This bizarre creation by small Canadian outfit Ludia poses the question, "What if Cooking Mama were an insane British drill sergeant?" The answer will involve PC, console and mobile gamers whipping up grub while being berated by show host and demoralizing meanie Gordon Ramsay, minus the stench of burnt artichokes. Talk about a tough dish to swallow.
