Gamestop’s Downpour Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed

Posted By: Whitney January 20th, 2012 | 10:20 am

Gamestop has revealed it’s Downpour pre-order bonus which is a code to get some in game weapons: a nail gun and a double axe.

Bonus Items

In-Game items!

Pre-order Silent Hill Downpour with GameStop and receive exclusive In-Game items!

Nail Gun: Building a house or killing some monsters? Nail guns provide more ammo in the clip than the normal gun, which makes you able to kill more monsters at one time!

Double Axe: Getting medieval with this very powerful melee weapon. It will come in handy during those battles with screaming monsters.

Online Customers: A code with instructions will be emailed to you within 2 business days after your order ships.

Store / In-Store Pickup Customers: A code with instructions will be printed on your receipt at time of purchase.

I got to say I’m very disappointed, I was hoping for a shirt or even a poster like the bonuses offered in Australia… heck even Mexico’s flashlight and mug with the usb stick with a making of Korn’s theme song would have been cooler in my book…but I’m a fan who likes physical items I can add to my collection. What do you guys think?

Silent Hill Book of Memories US Cover Art Revealed

Posted By: Whitney January 19th, 2012 | 6:36 pm

The Book of Memories cover art features the cursed book and two shadowed hands reach out of the pages. It definitely fits the premise of the story and I think overall the cover looks nice though…I can’t call it one of my favorites. What do you guys think?

Details of the Downpour Soundtrack Emerge from Dan Licht

Posted By: Whitney January 17th, 2012 | 10:28 am

Cj of Rely on Horror got into contact with Dan Licht about the Downpour soundtrack and he gave some interesting tidbits

After the Amazon listing for the Silent Hill Downpour OST appeared on the site without many details, I sent composer Dan Licht an email asking if he can elaborate some more on what can be expected from this soundtrack.

Dan stated there will be “about 18 tracks” and it will be “about an hour long”. The OST will be sold by Milian Records.

Woo! Another hour of Silent Hill music to add to my iPod. I can’t wait!

Downpour Soundtrack up for Pre-Order on Amazon

Posted By: Whitney January 16th, 2012 | 10:08 am

Looks like you can pre-order the Downpour game soundtrack over on Amazon for $15…I’m a little disappointed since I was hoping it would be included as a pre-order bonus somewhere but at least we know we can get our hands on it! I’ve got mine pre-ordered!

Voices in the Static #1 – An Introduction and March…the Month of Silent Hill

Posted By: Whitney January 13th, 2012 | 12:14 pm

So I’ve decided to start my very own podcast here on the Silent Hill Historical Society! With this podcast I will give the rundown of the latest Silent Hill news, general site updates and my thoughts on the series. I’m hoping to make this a bi-weekly podcast if there’s enough news…if not at least once a month!

In this first episode I make my introductions and discuss the plethora of news received just over the past 2 weeks: My Downpour and Book of Memories Preview, the new HD trailer and screens, the confirmation of release dates and even some Revelation updates from Michael J Bassett.

I hope you all enjoy 🙂
