SILENT HILL COLLECTION for PlayStation 3

If survival-horror is the house that resident evil' built Silent Hill renovated it Konami traded the camp that made Capcom's game so charmingly b-movie for a much more psychological

brand of terror and for its budding genre Silent Hill was a pivotal moment that really expanded what a survival horror game could be fast forward more than a decade later and Silent Hill is the latest series to get a contemporary

facelift the second and third games in this renowned franchise are remade in high definition in Konami Silent Hill collection and although HD has certainly improved their look sadly it can't do the same for their design

Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 were originally released in 2001 and 2003 and both were lauded by critics earning Silent Hill praise as a consistent leader in survival horror so frankly the quality of these games is almost

unquestionable at least within their time now when you revisit them today you'll still be scared you'll still be amazed by how thrilling and really smart they are but you'll also ask yourself or games really this clunky

ten years ago it's a start with those criticisms these games do show their age they just don't make games like this anymore and I mean that in terms of their general design after you struggle with the camera the controls

and a few unreasonably cryptic puzzles and objectives your nostalgia buzz immediately gives way to retro frustrations if you're a newcomer yeah this is how games used to be the good

news is these games are still absolutely terrifying in fact when you're revisiting them you quickly realize that very few horror games have been able to recreate the sheer terror

and deep emotional impact the Silent Hill games so effortlessly muster the themes are relentlessly dark and for those willing to explore it there's a psychological depth here that is just

profoundly disturbing come away from me now the second game is still a bit better and their old design quarks can be a little annoying but when it comes to survival horror you still can't do

any better than a trip to Silent Hill and the places never looked better than in the Silent Hill collection hey wait.
