MAJESCO Psychonauts ( Windows )
A surreal action adventure that stars a powerful young psychic cadet known as Raz, Psychonauts follows an interesting story. While working on his levitation merit badge, Raz discovers that someone is kidnapping psychic children and stealing their brains. In order to foil this evil plot and earn the title of Psychonaut, Raz must project himself into the minds of one bizarre character after another to battle their nightmares and mental demons. He does all this while continuing to earn psychic merit badges for Telekinesis, Clairvoyance, Pyrokinesis and more. Players run, bounce, float, climb, swing and sneak while defeating monsters, lunatics and demons with the Psi-Blast, a mental burst of energy that will banish nightmares.

This Jack Lambert Pittsburgh Steelers - McFarlane NFL Legends Series 4 is the perfect gift for any fan. Officially licensed by NFL.
While artists like Beck and Radiohead see every new album as an opportunity for reinvention from the ground up, Cake has no such hang-ups. From the uniformly rustic cover art, the jerky rhythms and wobbly trumpet solos, each of Sacramento band’s albums is reassuringly interchangeable. But on its fifth, the group’s most distinguishing characteristic–John McCrea’s deadpan, detached vocals–seems to have been given a makeover. On songs such as “No Phone” and “Tougher Than It Is” for the first time the singer seems, well, like he’s actually trying to sing. It’s nothing dramatic–the music will still sound immediately familiar to those who even in passing have heard hits such as “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” and “The Distance”–but with certain bands a little goes a long way. –Aidin Vaziri
