In celebration of the Silent Hill HD Collection (which was supposed to release later this month but has now been delayed) Playstation Home has a James and Heather outfit available for download. These costumes will go perfectly with the Nurse, Pyramid Head and Robbie costumes they released last year! Hey Konami where’s the Xbox love? I would pimp out my Xbox Live avatar with Silent Hill stuff if it was available!

Early in December I attended a Konami press event in San Fransisco and had the opportunity to try Silent Hill Downpour, Silent Hill Book of Memories and the HD Collection and talk with Silent Hill producer Tomm Hulett. I already played through most of the HD Collection back in September so I used my time to play-through Downpour and briefly try Book of Memories. Unfortunately, unlike my Downpour hands on preview last September, I could not record myself playing so no accompanying video preview this time around!

Lots of fun!

The Gaming Liberty got a chance to sit down and interview Heather Morris, the original voice for Heather in Silent Hill 3! In the interview they discuss how she got into voice acting, her thoughts on Heather, the motion capture experience and what she has plans for in the future. You guys should all give the full interview a read it’s very interesting:

Hi guys! It’s time for another Descent into the Otherworld where I take a closer look at the Silent Hill fandom to highlight what makes makes others a fan and what the series mean to them. Sorry for such the long wait, things have been a little hectic for me but I have a bunch of cool fan stories and interviews to share so look for them over the next few weeks!
Meet Stephen Miller an aspiring novelist who was inspired by Silent Hill to put pen to paper! Here’s his story:

I consider myself an up and coming Horror Writer. I’ve written a few short stories and an award winning play once, but the work I’m most proud of is my horror novelette “Sclera: The Looking Glass”. My first real inspiration for horror, as odd as it may sound, came from the Silent Hill movie, back when I was 15. I was always wary of terror, resistant and timid. I avoided blood and questioned why anyone would enjoy fear to begin with. It baffled me… and then it intrigued me. Sooner or later I decided to stop being a punk and face my fears. I watched a few crappy horror movies as sort of an ego trip. One day that led me into the theater of Silent Hill. As my first real glimpse of the Silent Hill atmosphere, and dare I say, beauty, I was blown away.
That triggered my descent into the art of horror. Since then I’ve played the majority of the Silent Hill games and fell even more in love. It came to the point that my mind was so filled with stories and images that I just had to write them down to lay them to rest. Sclera: The Looking Glass is not a fan fiction. It is an original work of fiction that I put my heart into and pulls inspiration from Silent Hill. I have no idea if I’ll decide to sell it or not, but after letting my friends, co workers, and even complete strangers read a copy, their praise of my hard work is enough. Fans of Silent Hill and even those who have never heard of it keep speaking of the atmosphere, vivid descriptions, passion, and mind-trips of this enveloping story. I even created a playlist of Akira Yamaoka’s best tracks and played it while writing the entire story. Whether or not I decide to sell it, I’d love to offer it to the loving fans of Silent Hill, new and old.

IGN posted some new screens for Silent Hill Book of Memories and in them we see familiar monsters from Silent Hill games past. In the screens I spot: Insane Cancer (SH3), Needlers (SHH), Nurse (SH2), Scisims… I think (SHH), Air Screamer (SH1), Double Heads (SH3), is that Valtiel? (SH3), The Butcher (SH0), Patient Demon? (SH2) AND Howard from Downpour I wonder what he’s doing in this game?

So I like watching the show Ghost Adventures on the Travel channel. I actually watch a lot of paranormal investigation shows since I actually believe in ghosts and I like to see what sort of evidence people can find. Sure a lot of these shows are staged or whatever but I still think they are fun to watch! Ghosts Adventures is my favorite because the crew: Zak, Nick and Aaron are just so dramatic at times it’s hilarious. I can’t always count on being wowed by their “evidence” but I sure can always be wowed by their theatrics which is a win-win in my mind! Hehe
Any-hoo I was watching tonight’s new episode, “Letchworth Village,” with my sister and near the end of their lock down a siren kept going on and off in the distance. I looked at my sister and jokingly said, “Oh no! The Silent Hill Otherworld is coming to get them!” We chuckled at my lame joke but then a few seconds later we were surprised when the show actually mention Silent Hill in relation with the siren they were hearing. Sure they actually mention the Silent Hill Movie and not the game but I still thought it was funny the similarity was even brought up on the show!
I got a kick out of the random reference so I thought I would share the clip with you all 🙂
