Silent Hill’s next release, the eighth in the venerable heart attack inducing series, “Downpour” promises a “thought-provoking horror storyline”… Really? What thought might that be? Where’s the ~@$%%^£ light switch? What where you THINKING walking in so quietly?!? Why are you wearing a sack on your head? No, not likely to be actually thought provoking… [...]

Back in 1999 Konami released the first Silent Hill on the Sony Playstation. Casting you as Harry Mason you explored the foggy town in search of your missing adopted daughter. With the sound of an air raid siren filling the air, the small town transformed into a blood soaked, rusty, nightmare world, populated with deformed monsters. As the story progressed you discovered that your daughter had a dark past revolving around a cult that aimed to bring to life a demonic god to judge all mankind. It was nonsensical, but fantastic at the same time.
Since then there have been several other Silent Hill games: Silent Hill 2, 3, The Room, Origins, and Homecoming. Late last year the latest Silent Hill game, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, was released in the USA on Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, and PSP. Instead of the traditional Silent Hill gameplay, blending combat with puzzle solving, the developers instead decided to take a more psychological, non-combative take with this latest game.
