Things are getting busy in the big, bad world of games as everybody's getting ready for the release of Nintendo's Gamecube and Microsoft's Xbox. Since they're still over a month away, let's check out some of their upcoming games and other news.

First up is Spyro the dragon. Formerly a big star on the Playstation, the purple dynamo is jumping to the Game Boy Advance (GBA) for Spyro: Season of Ice. Packed with 30 levels, including some seriously hot lava and way out space lanes, it's classic Spyro action in the palm of your hand.

Majesco has caught Boxing Fever. Their latest action game for the GBA is gonna feature sweet graphics and crazy action. Get ready to rumble in the ring this October.

Acclaim's latest is All-Star Baseball. It's backed by the MLB Players Association, loaded with action and features wicked graphics. It's all set to score a grand slam when it comes out for the Gamecube this November.

The mummy, Imhotep, is rising from the dead to wreak havoc in The Mummy Returns on the Game Boy Color and Playstation 2. Get ready to rock the Scorpion King when The Mummy Returns hits stores at the end of 2001.

If you've ever needed a reason to visit 7-11, Wizards of the Coast just gave you a big one. The Harry Potter TCG is in stores now and you can even pick it up at 7-11.

Last but not least Crash Bandicoot is back and so is his nemesis Cortex. This time Cortex isn't trying any normal villain stuff. He's out to get revenge with his Crash-killing machine. Can you stop the evil brainiac before it's too late? Find out this November in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex.
