Editor’s note: Waaaaaay back when I was starting my Consulting Analyst series on Silent Hill, I promised that when it concluded I would show you all a very special little piece of nostalgia: 21 year old Vrai’s senior thesis; or, what you might call the very first Consulting […]
[Apologies for the late arrival, readers. Please enjoy this last look into the Silent Hill franchise, and – barring a last minute deluge of voters – prepare to enjoy some Dumas-inspired analysis to take this franchise’s place in the future.] The final stop on our tour (because at […]
Few things are more difficult than explaining your love for a bad movie. Which seems like a pretty straight-on indictment of Silent Hill Revelation, but hear me out. I didn’t just watch this movie, I stalked it. For years. I had director Michael J Bassett’s blog on about […]
Released a mere year after Homecoming’s severe critical lashing, Shattered Memories was working from a pretty notable deficit of fan enthusiasm. Perhaps partly because of this, many of the decisions surrounding the game’s identity and presentation feel reactionary, tied to the knowledge of its existence in a […]
It’s not uncommonly said that Silent Hill Homecoming is the worst Silent Hill game on account of it stealing the basic twist from Silent Hill 2 while also having an overabundance of terribly programmed combat. That is not (solely) true. Homecoming is the worst Silent Hill game because […]
Considering it has no reason to exist, Silent Hill 0rigins has a surprising amount going for it. Well, a surprising amount of story things going for it. Well, its main character is interesting. I mean, they reference Shakespeare, that’s got to be good. Right? Alright, so the game […]
Christophe Gans’ adaptation of Silent Hill is one of the better videogame films out there, a title as honorable and unchallenged as “Best Logger Using Only Teeth” or “Suma Cum Laude: Class of Infant Punching.” Most videogame movies of that decade were directed by Uwe Bolle, is the […]
Once upon a time there were only three Silent Hill games, and everything was well (I tell a lie, of course, because the fandom has been utterly implacable since James Sunderland strutted his time upon the stage if not before then). Then Silent Hill 4: The Room was […]
You know what doesn’t get enough credit? Silent Hill’s joke endings. They’re more or less the first of their kind, to start with – beforehand you’ve got joke items/scenes and nonstandard game-overs, but never something you actively worked for in the same way. And because they can’t be […]
In addition to being the strongest pro-choice argument in horror since Rosemary’s Baby, Silent Hill 3 is probably the most out-and-out terrifying game the series has to offer (PT might’ve reduced me to whimpering in a corner, but a playable demo isn’t eligible for the crown). It’s also […]
