In this very special ninth episode to gear up for the October 26 release of the highly anticipated Silent Hill Revelation 3D. During the podcast I interview the film’s director Michael J. Bassett, and its two stars Adelaide Clemens and Kit Harington during Revelation’s New York Comic Con promotion.

I want to give a big thanks to the crew for taking time out of their busy schedules to speak so candidly with me. It was a real honor and I hope you all enjoy 🙂

In this eighth episode I’m joined once again by Cj from Rely on Horror and Silent Hill LPers: Voidburger and Bob to discuss our thoughts on the state of Silent Hill fandom.

This is a long one with various game SPOILERS! I hope you all enjoy 🙂

In this sixth episode I’m joined once again by Cj from Rely on Horror and a new guest Kyle and we discuss our thoughts on the Silent Hill Revelation 3D trailer. Be warned there is discussion of Silent Hill 3 and major spoilers regarding that game.

Friday was a big day for Silent Hill fans… it was the premiere of the long awaited Silent Hill Revelation 3D trailer!

I’m sure you all have probably watched it by now but if not you can see the full trailer below:

Unfortunately I was busy at work when this trailer was released so I couldn’t really take screens nor could I make this sort of write up earlier. I’m sure I’m terribly late to the party of giving my own thoughts and everyone else has picked apart this trailer by by now! Haha oh well!

With that said, based on what I saw in the trailer I am so excited to see this movie.

In this fifth episode I’m joined once again by Cj from Rely on Horror and two new guests Silent Hill LPers: Voidburger and Bob to discuss our thoughts on Downpour

This is a long one folks but full of SPOILERS! I hope you all enjoy 🙂

(more…)

Silent Hill Downpour is the eighth core game in the Silent Hill series and it follows Murphy Pendleton as he tries to escape the horrors of the town after his prison-transfer bus crashes nearby. This is the second game released on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 systems and was promised to be a true return to the form and styles of the Team Silent era of games. I had very high hopes for the title after two hands on previews and I’m happy to report that despite some technical flaws the game has lived up to the hype and is one of the best post-Team Silent games to date!

Please note while I do not spoil the story there is a very minor gameplay spoiler for an optional sidequest!

I found the Silent Hill HD Collection to be a big disappointment. It is broken, lacks serious polish, and is not the upgrade we were promised. Instead Collection is a major downgrade.

(more…)

Daniel Licht’s Downpour soundtrack is a different beast from Akira Yamaoka’s previous Silent Hill scores. If you were hoping Licht would be Akira 2.0, blindly copying Yamaoka’s style and calling it a day you will be sorely disappointed. Instead, Licht an accomplished composer of his own right, blazes his own trail with Downpour’s soundtrack and the result is nothing like what we’ve heard before in a Silent Hill game.

In this very special fourth episode to gear up for the Month of Silent Hill I’m joined by fellow Silent Hill fan Cj Melendez from Rely on Horror and we interview Silent Hill producer Tomm Hulett!

During the interview we discuss Tomm’s start at Konami, including the what Silent Hill Homecoming could have been (oh God…), the upcoming Silent Hill releases this month and various other general Silent Hill topics.

I want to give a big thanks to Tomm Hulett for taking time out of his busy schedule to speak so candidly with us fans. It was a real treat and I hope you all enjoy 🙂

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!
