Silent Shenanigans

Just a little Silent Hill artwork to please the masses. Or me, whichever.

Speaking of Silent Hill, I am getting so tired of waiting for the new PSP game. I've just played the old ones to death. It's a pattern, I get a new SH game, beat it, beat it again, repeat until all endings are seen, then play all the SH games... in order. Including the one I just beat. Shut up! They give me real life skills, like the ability to run away from huge sword-like knives and the uncanny knack of finding a map of the area I'm in. As I was saying, I don't want to wait one more month to get my creepy refill. So here is a teaserific trailer of Silent Hill: Origins for other SH fans, or even anyone who has never played these Konami gems.

Now, moving on to Silent Hill 5. According to a gent in this video "SH2 is everyone's favorite game". Is this true? It's my least favorite. I still love it, but there are a lot of things I would fix in it, and they are basing the new game around it. That explains the graphics. I hope those were test animations. The video worries me in many ways. Silent Hill has never been about the fighting. Certainly, it's fun kicking ass (see previous post), but Silent Hill is about the fear, the unknown, and sickness in the head. Chain attacks? Zelda fighting style?? Oh my heart twists at these words. I think, even scarier than Eileen's giant, wiggy-eyed head in SH4, is how you can just hear these new developers straining to keep the word "dude" from their vocabulary as they're being interviewed. Be afraid...
*I'll probably still buy it the day it comes out though...I told you it was about sickness in the head.*
