Required playing from the week in games.

"The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks" for Nintendo DS picks up where "The Phantom Hourglass" left off. We find Link teaming up with A.I. ally the Phantom. Remember Billy Zane in the movie "The Phantom"? Boy, his costume was stupid -- it looked like someone drew his pecs on with a marker. (We know. Different Phantom. We're just saying.)

Also in stores this week:
-- "The Saboteur" lets you take revenge on the Nazis by blowing stuff up. Meanwhile, the game's unique "Will to Fight" feature gradually makes the non-playable characters come around to your side. Perhaps it should have been called "The Persuader."
-- "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories," which brings the popular franchise to the Wii, allows you to use the Wiimote as a flashlight and cell phone. Because the best way to get away from demons is to text for help.
-- With the wide variety of poses in Wii "Yoga," you'll never again have to see that guy in your yoga class who smells vaguely of vinegar and sadness.
