Hey guys IGN has their review up! They give it an 8.6!
http://ie.wii.ign.com/articles/105/1050951p1.html
The Video Review has been uploaded to the you tube page 🙂
Okay! played a little. It looks really nice, the voice acting is great in my opinion…I just got to get use to the controls. This is really my first time using a wii more then 2 seconds and I’m quite the “wii-tard.” I’m still trying to get through the first otherworld bit- but so far I’m liking it a lot despite my controlling problems! I’m a little thankful I got this a bit early so I have a chance to hone my wii skillz. Hopefully I’ll get over this learning curve quickly (like I did with the weird new controls for RE5) and search and run like a pro.
You want an idea on how bad I am? IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET THE FRIGGIN KEY OUT OF THE CAN. Seriously, I don’t know what I was doing but I had the hardest time turning the can upside down…those walkthroughs made it look so easy! I really suck using the wii-mote!
BTW as a new wii user the pop up hints were very useful. I barely know all the buttons and I wouldn’t of known what the heck to do when monsters started grabbing me.
Now I just got to figure out which hand to hold the flashlight in! I’m a lefty and I keep switching…”do I want the light in my dominate hand or the running controls?” Good thing I grew up with a bunch of rightys so I’m used to doing a lot of things with my right hand!
I assume once I find my flow this will all be easier (probably won’t die every few seconds!) but hey I AM HAVING FUN ON A WII despite my wii-tardness…. THIS IS AMAZING (cause I loathed the wii for this very reason before).
Okay off to try to make it to Levin Street again 🙂

Hey guys I wanted to let you know that the tips for wii playing REALLY helped! I’m making great progress now and Harry isn’t flailing around quite as much 🙂 I’m still a little wii-tarded but not as horrible as last night! So I just wanted to say thanks 🙂
I’m still dying a lot in the nightmare world because I get lost and the monsters eventually wear Harry down. I haven’t gotten the hang of using the wayward point on my phone so at the moment I’m just RUNNING, RUNNING, RUNNING oh that’s new! *die* repeat.
BTW those blue outlines definitely do not lead you to “safety” like a lot of fans assumed. The last nightmare sequence I went through I ended up going in a big fat circle! Harry kept getting turned around and I found myself back at the start a couple times!
I just got a shipment confirmation email from Gamestop.com. Seriously, I went to track my order and it says it’s OUT FOR DELIVERY near my work, right now, as in TODAY. I might get to play the game TONIGHT!? Anyone else receive shipment emails? Get calls from Gamestop?
[EDIT] I GOT IT! Though no soundtrack 🙁 I’ll have to email Gamestop about it!
[EDIT 2] My order is still open on Gamestop.com and says that it includes a soundtrack that’s “backordered” hopefully that means I will get it shipped sometime next week 🙂
I’ll take some screencaps later but check it out the microsite is up. I only took a quick look but it’s looking good so far 🙂
Silent Hill Shattered Memories Official Website
[edit here’s the screens]
From what I can tell the psych profile in the beginning only effects how Cybil looks and how some of the secondary characters look in their profile snapshots:
1) Not answering, skipping the therapy or picking all three = Nice and professional looking Cybil
2) Liking Horror Movies and identifying with the color red = Sexy Cybil
3) Chasing down a robber = Hard Ass Cybil
Once you are in the site you mouse curser becomes the flashlight beam in the town. Rolling over certain objects activates different sections of the site:
a couple short gameplay videos
screenshots
community
character information
blog.
If you leave the flashlight on to long a crowd of rawshocks will surround you and a video of an otherworld chase scene will play. This can be avoided if you quickly turn off the flashlight.
At the moment the blog isn’t working (it just reloads the site) but I’m sure they’ll get it up soon
Edit: Vixx from Silent Hill Heaven says Tomm Hulett has confirmed with her that this is the movie that runs if you sit on the main menu screen too long.
Big thanks to Brandon for pointing out this sale from Gamestop.com
http://www.gamestop.com/thedeal
It expires Wednesday, December 2 at 11:59 PM EST/8:59 PM PST
The in-store pickup option is available (This is still an even quicker option than the free 2-day shipping)
Domon7411 a frequent visitor of this site emailed me this bit of news!
Now it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to find out that it won’t be out till Tuesday, but if by some strange twist it does come out friday, I thought you would want to know.
Makes me kind of wish I went to my local Gamestop to make my pre-order! I hope if it’s an early release Gamestop.com will send me my copy early 🙂
I finally got my hands on the newest Nintendo Power here’s the scan of the Silent Hill Shattered Memories review 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yay a new blog post! This time Tomm dicusses the pacing and their choices behind the lack of combat of Silent Hill Shattered Memories.
Make sure to stop by the blog and let them know what you think. I’m getting excited the game is almost here 😀
