Pinnacle Station no aporta absolutamente nada al jugador de Mass Effect y su compra es muy poco recomendable. Su jugabilidad es tremendamente aburrida y, por si fuera poco, su ejecución técnica es impresentable llegando incluso a afectar a la jugabilidad. Un ejemplo a evitar en futuros contenidos para la inminente secuela.

There have been a lot of Guitar Hero games over the past few years. And there will be more yet before this year comes to a close. It's easy to get lost in the flood. But if you're going to grab one, Guitar Hero 5 is a good choice. The accessibility, streamlined presentation, solid note charts, and welcome gameplay improvements make this the best Guitar Hero game in recent memory.

The core of Phantasy Star is a pretty standard 8-bit RPG, and it's understandable that many players wouldn't want to spend five bucks on an experience that will have them grinding levels, buying health potions and running into random battles after every few steps on the overworld map -- longtime fans of the genre will have done all that many, many times before. But Phantasy Star is nonetheless fully worth its asking price of 500 Wii Points for the fact that, without this game, many players wouldn't be fans of the genre. It was such a definitive release and so pivotal for an entire generation in the late '80s that it can't be denied its classic status, and must be recommended to experience again here on Wii. Or, if you're an RPG gamer who missed Phantasy Star the first time around, it might be even more interesting for you to dive in now. Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy on the NES could well have been your first step into console role-playing if you were an NES owner 20 years ago, which is very likely -- there were many more NES players than Master System ones back then. You could gain some new insight and context into your own childhood memories to see what was happening over on the other guys' platforms while you were clubbing Slimes or casting LIT2 on the Kraken. So consider giving Phantasy Star a look on Virtual Console. If you try it and like it, its three sequels -- Phantasy Star II, Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom and Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium -- are all also available already. And if you feel like you need a bit more convincing before surfing over to the Wii Shop, hop into IGN Retro's Fond Memories: Phantasy Star. Our man Travis Fahs recounted his own childhood experiences with the game there just last summer, and he's one of the many for whom that very first sentence up at the top of the article absolutely holds true.

Telltale has another solid outing in this episode, and it's cool to see the story start to come together. Plus, the next episode looks to have a completely cool and unexpected setting, so we're looking forward to seeing where this all goes. It's just too bad Telltale can't get these games running well on the Wii.

Rock Band 2 for Wii fixes every problem the original game had on the system and even adds pleasant new features. Aside from a little less detail in the visuals, this is identical to what Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players have been playing since September. It's a more user-friendly experience, simultaneously more challenging for the hardcore and more accessible for casuals. The 80+ tracks on disc are a fantastic offering spanning an enormous variety of genres and eras (if you get the standalone game, that's about 60 cents a song). The music store should be up just after launch and you'll be able to stream DLC from your SD card. Online play in World Tour works flawlessly and Battle of the Bands is an inventive way to engage players in the Rock Band community. Wii owners don't have to have Rock Band-envy any more -- this is the real deal, and is a must buy for anyone down with music games.

Rock Band 2 conviendra aux joueurs qui ont débuté leur expérience musicale avec le premier Rock Band puisque les mécanismes sont les mêmes et la difficulté identiquement dosée. Jouissant d'un nombre impressionnant de morceaux à télécharger en plus des 80 initiaux, le titre de Harmonix aurait gagné à proposer des partitions plus variées et plus en accord avec la musique. Reste que le multi a été amélioré mais que l'on n'oubliera pas le méli-mélo qui aura entouré les instruments et ce, aux dépens des joueurs européens.
