"Videogame adaptations are, on the whole, not great. The first Silent Hill film proved a rare exception to the rule. Granted, it was not perfect, but by the same token it did not disappoint too heavily.
As a massive fan of the game franchise, I have devised a list of things the film makers should do to ensure this second adaptation does not take this promising series and drop it dead in the water.

Limit the use of CGI
Personally, I’ve never, ever been convinced that CGI is better than re..."

"Art in its many varied forms has, and always will be, a staple of every human culture that has ever walked the Earth. Over time, nearly everyone has debated what constitutes art that’s worthy of display, of reflection; why a single image may evoke a great deal of emotions in one person while it leaves another cold and uninterested. This works rather well for art contained within the many varied galleries scattered across the globe, but that kind of ambiguity will rarely get you honorable ment..."

"Tale of Tales (ToT): Silent Hill is still going. There’s been a Silent Hill 3, 4 and soon 5, all without your involvement. Silent Hill 3 was a lot less complex than Silent Hill 2. And Silent Hill 4 was completely different. How do you feel about the evolution in the series without you?

Takayoshi Sato (TS): It’s normal that a change of team changes the feel of the product. That’s what happened with Silent Hill 3 & 4.

ToT: What did you think of the Silent Hill movie?

TS: I like many of..."

"Look familiar Survival horror fans? It should. This is one of 250 Replicas of James Sutherland's (Silent Hill 2's protagonist) jacket. Its rare as hell and this is only the first time I've seen one since Konamistyle stopped selling it.

Apparently this particular one is being sold on the Silent Hill forum right now:

"One of the most distinctive traits of the Silent Hill series is its use of the Otherworld, a bleak industrial version of reality where night persists indefinitely and rusted metal and barbed wire are core components of most architecture. The Otherworld often reflects the layout and geometry of reality, but sometimes it the reflection is tenuous, as the Otherworld version of reality is usually twisted and confusing. The Silent Hill games contrast the Otherworld with the Fog World, a daytime lo..."

"We payed homage to the hottest survival horror babes last week but there are a small group of monsters from this genre that have caught our fancy too. We shouldn't like them. They're evil, often grossly deformed and may not even be female. But it's not our fault the concept artist's gave them appealing features. It toys with our poor minds!
Here are the stand-out monsters that caught our fancy while playing........

Name: Bubble Head Nurses
Game/s: Silent Hill 2
Why they're hot: Each Sil..."

" Mention Survival horror and it immediately garners images of Chris Redfield blasting zombies or James Sunderland bludgeoning pyramid heads with a plank of wood. But in the survival horror genre there are as many iconic female protagonists as there are male. Gaming_Issues pay homage to them today.


Name: Jill Valentine
Series: Resident Evil
Appearance: Jill Jill Jill. Where would Resident Evil be without you? Originally appearing in RE1 as a member of the Special Tactics And Rescue S..."

"As a refresher, Origins follows protagonist Travis Grady, a truck driver with a murky past. Of course, it wouldn't be Silent Hill if the lead didn't have one or two demons and - given the sudden flashbacks and static-concealed references on the CB radio during the intro - it looks like Travis might have more untapped psychosis than most. Incidentally, about that intro: it's an impressive opener, with the usual sky-high quality pre-rendered Silent Hill cinematics in tact, replete with some gor..."
