DREAMWORKS INTERACTIVE GETS TO WORKTHE MUCH-BALLYHOOED JOINT venture between Microsoft Corp. and DreamWorks SKG is finally getting ready to strut its stuff. On May 16, at the game-crazed Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, DreamWorks Interactive will unveil its first four CD-ROMs--though with only tentative titles and not-yet-firm delivery dates. The new CD-ROMs range from an animated cookbook with 20 original songs for the kindergarten set, an edutainment adventure for grade-schoolers, and a slapstick animated-clay adventure game--DreamWorks used more than two tons of clay to create the scenes--targeting teen and adult players. Best bet for a continuing series: Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland, based on Scholastic Corp.'s best-selling Goosebumps books and television series. (Ask your 8-year-old.) DreamWorks--the parent--could use a hit. Its first TV series, Champs, was canceled halfway into the season, and another TV show, High Incident, is off to a sluggish start.
