Tara Reed at Dreamcatcher Interactive, Inc. sent us a project update yesterday. There's apparently good news for adventure gamers, but bad news for racing enthusiasts.

Fuel, a "motor-head's action/thinking vehicular marathon," will apparently be released for PC and Xbox only, despite the previous announcement that a Mac version was in development. The website still lists a Mac version, so we'll be sure to let you know if a Mac version is, indeed, still in the works.

In brighter news, Dreamcatcher will be releasing two new adventure games for the Macintosh this month. Dracula: The Last Sanctuary picks up where Dracula: Resurrection left off...which picks up where Bram Stoker's original novel left off.

As Jonathan Harker, you know that your wife Mina will never be safe as long as Dracula is still alive. You must hunt down Dracula and vanquish him forever. Follow a lethal trail from London back to Transylvania, from the insane asylum, to Dracula’s castle. Discover that the hunter has also become the hunted...

Dracula: The Last Sanctuary has a scheduled release date of June 17th.

Dreamcatcher's website also makes no mention of a Mac version of Necronomicon, but Tara told us one's coming our way on June 28th.

Inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, this game plunges you right to the heart of the mystery.

The year is 1927. William H. Stanton’s life suddenly takes a terrifying turn for the worst. What strange secret is his childhood friend hiding from him? What lurks in the alchemist's mysterious cursed underground laboratory? What is the meaning of the Necronomicon esoteric formulae? Is this collection of occult secrets the key to the world of the dead? Dare you use these secrets and face the terror which may lie beyond?

Yeah, but just make sure when you pick up a copy thou don't misspeak the words.

We'll continue to report on the status of these games as details become available.
