It’s funny how things work out. Here we haven’t seen a Silent Hill game in three years, since the Silent Hill: Shattered Memories reimagining for the PS2, PSP and Wii, and now in March, 2012, we’ll have a cavalcade of releases. Konami’s pretty much declared it a month of horror, starting with something old and more »

Some of the earlier games in the Silent Hill franchise are getting a bit of a facelift for the current generation consoles. While it is a good thing to do especially considering that, to understand where the franchise could go, you have to remember where it’s been. So I’m not going to complain about the more »

Everyone expected Konami to show off Silent Hill Downpour for the PS3 and Xbox 360 at E3 2011, but nobody expected an additional two Silent Hill games to also be appearing at the show. And yet, there they were! The Silent Hill HD Collection will bring improved version of the PS2 games Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 to the PS3 and Silent Hill: Book of Memories is coming to the PlayStation Vita.

Konami’s big E3 Silent Hill Downpour announcement introduced us to Murphy Pendleton, the anti-hero of the game…

Is winter weather getting you down? Being cooped up due to the weather, especially if you live in a usually lively city, is probably getting rather boring. Trust me. Being a Chicago native, I know due to the recent “blizzard”. You’ve got quite a few options to occupy your time, though. This is going to be a list of some of the best horror games to distract yourself with while you’re trapped within your house.

Some of these do require power but a few games in the list only require a light source (preferably a little spooky), pencils, paper and dice.

Silent Hill is such a promising world when it comes to stories and their presentations. Yet, for some reason, there are some shortcomings to the story and its world.

While there have been attempts to change this around – play Silent Hill 4: The Room, Silent Hill Origins and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories – there still seems to be some issues that pop up. These issues are ones that Vatra, the developers of Silent Hill Downpour, promised to work on.

Dear Producer of Silent Hill and the potential Silent Hill 2, Don Carmody,

Recently, out of boredom and curiosity, I decided to search for more and new information dealing with the follow up movie to Christophe Gans’ 2006 film adaptation of Silent Hill. Sure, while the movie was by no means perfect, Silent Hill did something that most other game-based movies failed to do. The film actually did match up with the tone, style and feel of games, so when it was first announced that there were plans for a sequel, which the end of the movie lends itself perfectly to, it was actually exciting to hear. After all, Silent Hill wasn’t like any other game-based film where the source material was butchered.

The Human mind is very interesting piece of biological equipment. The way we think, interpret, and create. How our brains use electrical impulses to make it all happen. And yet, the Human mind is also one of the most terrifying things in existence. The way our mental psyche can succumb to an emotion, creating fantastic and frightening events, manipulated by memories and nightmares, an inescapable fear.

Silent Hill 2 isn’t a horror game in the classic sense of the genre; sure it has demons and plays our fears of the dark, but it goes beyond that by becoming truly scary through its playing with the mind. It’s a haunting video game twist on the plot device used in many works such as the short story, An Occurrence at Owl Bridge Creek , and the Adrian Lyne film, Jacob’s Ladder.

The inescapable fear described in the beginning paragraph has pulled in a widower named James Sunderland (who looks an awful lot like Keifer Sutherland’s character from the movie, The Vanishing, which I might is also about a man relentlessly looking for his wife). His wife, Mary, succumbed to unknown disease or so he thought. He received a letter from her telling him to meet her in their “special place”.

Silent Hill…

**Fair Warning: This will be VERY SPOILER HEAVY. Read of your volition!!!**

Silent Hill is one of those series that either sucks you in or spits you out. If it didn’t get you within the first 30 minutes, it probably won’t regardless of what it throws at you. It’s possible that it never will.

If it did get you, chances are you’re familiar with a few of the previous five games and are wondering whether or not Silent Hill Homecoming is worth the money. With the number of things wrong versus right with this game being about equal, it comes down to personal taste.

Didn’t have a good Valentine’s Day? Don’t worry. You’re not alone. After all, I’m sure quite a few of us spent the day doing commonplace, unromantic things. It happens.

No Valentine means no love-gone-wrong. That’s right – it isn’t all roses, hearts and puppies. Love hurts sometimes, and relationships can go sour. To help those who didn’t have someone special this year, Gamertell’s put together a list of nine failed video game couples. It’s better being single than having an ex like this. We’re going through the failed relationships starting with somewhat unpleasant aftershocks, leading up to heinous reactions…
