Gaming's freakiest monsters: A biological study (Feature)

Oct 28, 2009

Perhaps better than any other creative medium, videogames have managed to recreate entire ecosystems of imaginary creatures and presented them in an observable context. Books and movies may offer detailed glimpses of anatomy and behavior, but only in videogames does the observer interact with organisms and experience behaviors first hand. ...

Silent Hill 2 Film Is Official (News)

Sep 15, 2009

Screenwriter Roger Avary and producer Samuel Hadida are going back to the haunted town of Silent Hill. Both have now signed on to pen the 2nd film based on the cult classic Silent Hill series. After lukewarm reviews of the first film and fan outrage at the deviation from source material, we can only hope Avary and Hadida will take some more time with this one. We believe it can be done, but it just needs the right dedication and research. The 2nd film will be moving from paper to reel after the release of Resident Evil: Afterlife. We hope to see more psychological fear and less Pyramid Head booty.

Silent Hill Series To Be Re-released On PS3? Possibly (News)

Sep 2, 2009

HellDescent writes: "Since the recent announcement of God Of War 1 and 2 being ported into the HD world for the PS3 on Blu-ray, many people have already started to wonder, "What other games will get this treatment?" We all know Sony have dropped backwards compatibility for some time now and has no plans to ever bring it back. But could re-releasing a game series in Blu-ray become a new trend?

What if GamesRadar designed Downloadable Content? (Feature)

Jul 7, 2009

You know the only real problem with downloadable content? It’s typically designed by the same people who made the original game. That’s boring. Why not give other folks, who don’t necessarily worry about whether something is “a good idea” or “sensible” or “legal,” a shot? Sure our ideas might be a little unusual at times, and a couple of them could conceivably land someone in jail. ...

E3 2004: Five Years Later (Feature)

Jun 1, 2009

Before we dunk our collective heads into the salty man-pool that is E3 2009, let’s take a moment to reflect on the events and images of E3 2004. Just five years ago Nintendo was struggling, Sony was unquestionably on top and Microsoft only had Halo 2 to keep fans attentive. Today… well, it’s a little different, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves ...

Which number is the best number? (Feature)

May 15, 2009

Because we enjoy making graphs, looking at graphs, and talking about graphs so darn much, we decided to do a little research experiment. Our goal was to discover which numbered entry in a game series (not the number of games into the series, the actual number in the game’s title) is most often the best. Is it scientific? Not in the least, but it still might surprise you. ...

Behind the scenes of gaming's great soundtracks (Feature)

Jan 28, 2009

When he started sharing his idea of an orchestra playing music from videogames, people thought the veteran composer Tommy Tallarico was off his rocker. It took him three years to convince publishers and developers that he was sane. “Imagine me making a call to Taito in Japan, asking them for the rights for the score of [1983 arcade hit] Elevator Action. “I’d like to play the theme tune to the game at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Hello... hello?’” ...

Silent Hill Homecoming Dev. Defends Removing Game's 'Easy' Setting (News)

Nov 11, 2008

The combat in "Silent Hill: Homecoming" is an improvement over previous series efforts, but it wasn't enough for MTV Multiplayer. They wanted to tune it out and play on easy.

Except "Homecoming" removed the easy difficult setting from the "Silent Hill" franchise. There is only normal and hard.

What gives?

Over e-mail, they asked the "Homecoming" lead designer at Double Helix, Jason Allen, to explain himself.

The Scariest Games this fall - Part 2 (Feature)

Oct 29, 2008

A few months back we featured the most bloodcurdling games to be unleashed this fall. We then graded each fright fest depending on what we assumed would be the scariest. The big surprise though is that half of the games featured - including FEAR 2 - either won’t be released by year’s end or - like in GhostBusters and Fatal Frame’s case - don’t even have release dates. ...

Why scary games are never scary (Feature)

Oct 28, 2008

Silent Hill: Homecoming (Review)

Oct 14, 2008

"Things have changed around here, and not for the better,” utters one of the first characters Silent Hill: Homecoming protagonist Alex meets upon returning to his hometown, Shepherd’s Glen. He’s right. Or rather, half right, for while there’s some cause for complaint here, many of the series’ standout signature features are present and correct. ...

Silent Hill gets Euro 2009 delay (News)

Silent Hill: Homecoming - 133 locked doors (Video)

Oct 9, 2008

The fifth entry in the dark-as-death survival horror series improves rapidly after a dull first few hours, but you can’t escape the feeling that it’s a pseudo pastiche of Silent Hill 2, with clunky cameos from Pyramid Head and nods to previous events.

The 133 Locked Doors of Silent Hill: Homecoming (Feature)

Oct 9, 2008

The new adventures of Silent Hill - subtitled Homecoming - have stuck very close to the winning formula of creepy dilapidated buildings, grotesque monsters, uncomfortable storyline, excellent music and a boatload of locked doors. Why plop us down in a semi-open world and then lock every door in the environment with the exception of a few? ...

Silent Hill Fans Advised to 'wait out' Game Ban (News)

Oct 1, 2008

Gamers are being urged to "wait out" the ban on Silent Hill: Homecoming as industry figures slam the lack of an adult rating for video games in Australia.

The latest title in the popular Silent Hill game series that spawned a feature film in 2006 was refused classification after failing to meet the requirements for an MA15+ rating.

The head of Australia's video game industry body today said the decision reflected an "unfair" discrimination between rating systems for film, literature and games.

First review of Silent Hill: Homecoming is not good (News)

Sep 29, 2008

A snippet and score from the first review of Silent Hill: Homecoming is in, posted from Official Xbox Magazine over at Metacritic. The outlook? Not good. The snippet reads "From its leaden, cheap-shots-aplenty combat to its wild-goose chase through gray, same-y hallways filled with useless, placebo doorways to a story that takes much too long to get off the ground, its entire first half feels like a death march through a clunky hot mess." and scores the game 65/100. Although they presumably played with the 360 version, I doubt that there's a big difference between PS3 and 360 editions. Of course, that's only one review, and I expect we'll see others soon, but it's not a good start.

Silent Hill: Homecoming Refused classification in Australia (News)

Sep 25, 2008

Xboxoz360-gamer writes:

"Well it seems the long awaited Silent Hill Homecoming title has received the cold shoulder from Australia's OLFC and Refused Classification.

This is yet another game to face the OLFC that has failed to pass due to their antiquated rating laws, where their highest rating for games is just MA15+, making many adult themed games, (no, not sexually based games) unable to gain classification."

One spooky visit from a warped vision of his infant brother and Alex is on his way to his ...
