The Wii is mainly known for its family friendly games, but the system has slowly been building up a small library of games that aren’t all-ages fare. There aren’t too many games with a “Mature” rating, or that fall into the horror, thriller and suspense genres, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any available for the system.

And no, I’m not referring to the plethora of Resident Evil games that have found a home on the Wii. There are other chilling games available for the system, if you take the time to look. Gamertell did, and has come up with five appropriate games if you have a Wii and want to be scared…

We’ll play the games and tell you what happens to see whether or not you should spend your time playing it. This week, we’re looking at Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, the action-RPG Wii adventure from Konami.

So, prepare to be spoiled…

The original Silent Hill was released over 10 years ago, in 1999 on the PlayStation. It’s unusual approach and thrilling story spawned a series of beloved horror games. On it’s 10th anniversary, Konami made an unusual announcement stating the company would be “reimagining” the original game.
