Silent Hill: Shattered Memories - Reinventing what wasn't broken.

I love Silent Hill. It's probably my favorite game franchise. I like it so much that when I realized I missed 3 somehow, (I rented it but never actually bought it) I paid $60 for a sealed copy on ebay. In 2010. $60 for a PS2 game.

So yeah, I really love this series, and because of that, I had been following Shattered memories for a long time. Everything about it just kept getting better and better. From the interesting concept (re-imagining of the 1st game) to the game altering depending on your personality, to the numerous accolades it received from gaming publications. Then came Phelous's review...

Better Off Dead

Deadly Premonition, Or How I learned to stop worrying and just enjoy the ride.

Deadly Premonition is a game that is getting a lot of surprise buzz lately, mostly in part to Destructoid's bizarre 10/10 review. Believe it or not, based on that review and some positive word of mouth, I decided to take a chance on it.

I proudly plucked a copy off of the GameStop shelf and marched up to the counter, my $20 in hand. The Clerk looked at me funny and asked if I had heard anything about the game. I told him that I had heard it was "Really bad, but really fun." He just nodded and said, "Hmm...I guess there's much worse ways to spend $20..." He gestured towardss a clearance table with a used $19 copy of MGS4 and continued "... but there are much better ways too." What he didn't realize, is he couldn't have been more wrong.
