The first is Aqua Teen Hunger Force's Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, inexplicably being released exclusively for the PS2. As the title makes it abundantly clear this is a golf game (insofar as there are golf clubs and...holes). Everything else appears to be exactly what you would expect from ATHF.
The second game (and ranking much higher on my anticipation-o-tron) is Penny Arcade's On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness Episode 1. This game, in addition to being written and designed by Penny Arcade, is a wonderful callback to the point-and-click adventures of my youth (see Sam & Max Hit The Road, Day Of The Tentacle, et al.). Also, this one will be playable on my beloved Mac, so that's definitely a plus.

Even if "Precipice" wasn't Penny Arcade, I would still have to check it out based solely on the two games you've compared it to (Sam/Max and Tentacle).
You can't beat LucasArts' old school point-and-click adventures.
I've been dying for that genre to come back. Lately it's been cast aside as cutting edge graphics get all the attention, but there is a small movement to bring them back.
There's even a new Sam & Max series that has been getting good reviews. Unfortunately for me it's only available for PC at the moment.
There have been rumors about it being ported to the Wii, which would be fantastic.
