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.

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.

Another PSP exclusive is no more, now that Konami has announced that Silent Hill Origins will be released on the PS2 in May 2008. Originally the game was released November 6, 2007 and heralded as an exclusive for the often neglected handheld. Now it has been snatched away, just like Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
