Shattered Memories isn't your typical Silent Hill game. Some devoted fans will undoubtedly raise a fuss over every difference whether subtle or grand, but I believe this re-imagining succeeds as both a sequel and a departure. The overarching narrative, characters, and monsters will all seem faintly familiar to Silent Hill purists, but Climax has taken the series and run with it, crafting a title refreshingly different yet still at times quite scary. I feel that the separation between safe exploration, puzzling and run-for-your-life monster scenarios is too transparent and as a result you will inevitably come to fear the ice and few things else. And despite a unique psych profile system that allows for multiple endings and various changes throughout the adventure, the game runs a bit short -- perhaps too short for some. Even so, there are some incredible moments encapsulated within Harry's icy journey and you will be both wowed and scared as you finally uncover the truth about his daughter's disappearance and the nightmarish goings-on in the creepy town. For my money, the game controls and looks best on Wii. Not only is the Wii remote ideal for Mason's flashlight, but there are added visual effects in the Nintendo built. However, the PS2 iteration is no slouch, either. It very closely resembles the Wii incarnation and controls well enough with dual-analog sticks that gamers who don't own both systems won't miss the Wii remote. Meanwhile, since the content is otherwise identical, there's great fun to be had.

Flames of Judgment is a solid, but somewhat disappointing addition to the selection of SRPGs XBLA and PSN currently have on offer.

Difficile d'évaluer un concept comme Global Agenda, qui repose sur deux modèles économiques bien différents. Dans sa version sans abonnement, le jeu ne mérite pas vraiment l'achat : le PvE est ennuyeux, tandis que les matches PvP sont sympathiques mais tournent vite en rond par manque de cartes. En revanche, en s'acquittant d'une obole mensuelle, le soft dévoile un tout autre potentiel qui rappelle parfois EVE Online, avec son monde unique librement laissé entre les mains des alliances de joueurs. Cette note se veut donc une moyenne des deux aspects, mais doit être majorée ou minorée en fonction de l'option choisie.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, indipendentemente dalla console per il quale è stato concepito, ci pare un prodotto poco interessante per il videogiocatore. Indipendentemente dalla sua passione per RPG o Action Game. Una storia abbastanza intrigante (seppur non per tutta la sua durata), la buona caratterizzazione dei personaggi e qualche interessante spunto nelle meccaniche di gioco non bastano a far chiudere gli occhi di fronte a delle pecche nell’implementazione dei comandi e, soprattutto, riguardo ad un gameplay che rimane senza spunti dopo poco tempo e che, boss battle a parte, non riesce mai a catturare davvero l’attenzione del giocatore. A conti fatti non una bocciatura ma un’attestazione di mediocrità che rende l’ultima fatica Square-Enix appetibile solo ai fan che vogliano una panoramica completa sulla Fantasia Finale in tutte le sue sfaccettature.

Matt Hazard: Blood, Bath, and Beyond is a fun little romp from start to finish. If you like the classic 2-dimensional side scrolling shooters of old, this game will be right up your alley. The title has its shortcomings, such as the difficulty and occasionally lack of indciation on when you can progress past a room, but nothing that really holds it back from being a thoroughly enjoyable ride. Please note though that this isn't one for the kiddies, as even the menu screen(s) drops the f-bomb on gamers. If you want a fun / arcadey romp with no strings attached... this should wet your appetite.

Chime is easy to recommend. It's cheap, it'll keep you amused for hours, and the $5 you spend goes to charity. The musical puzzle game is easy to get sucked into and will appeal particularly to Lumines fans. Its visuals don't live up to the impressive soundtrack, but once Chime hypnotizes you, you won't notice. Charity work isn't often this much fun.

Band Hero, for all intents and purposes, is Activision's attempt to promote their Hero franchise to the more casual market, removing the heavier rock set pieces and replacing them with squeaky clean pop songs that can be completely hit or miss given the games 'rockier' roots.
