Nov 9, 2007 Silent Hill has always been scary because of what it doesn't show you. It's the little things that get to you the most; weeping ghosts, implacable thuds, grinding machinery, that sort of thing. And while Origins is an admirable attempt by a Western developer to capture the magic of the Japanese-developed originals, it doesn't quite manage it. But that doesn't mean it's not worth your ...

Aug 21, 2007 By now, its pretty obvious that if you wind up in thick fog staring at the “Welcome to Silent Hill” sign, then it means youve an unresolved skeleton or two in your closet. Nobody stumbles upon the town by accident, and thats exactly why we expect trucker Travis Grady is harbouring a guilty secret. He begins the game pursuing a girl he thinks hes knocked over, which eventually leads him to the towns dreaded hospital - home to many a familiar monstrous nurse who display ...   » Read Full Silent Hill Origins preview

When we last saw Silent Hill Origins, it was something of an abomination, and we don't mean that in a good way. Sure, it was kind of cool to see the series go all Resident Evil 4, with an over-the-shoulder view and a bigger focus on action, but it wasn't scary, and it sure as hell wasn't Silent Hill. A lot of fans didn't react well to the gameplay shift, and for months, rumors circulated that the game had been canceled. It turns out the rumors were half-right. Silent Hill Origins, or at least ...   » Read Full Silent Hill Origins preview

Aug 24, 2006
The over-the-shoulder gameplay of Resident Evil 4 is popping up in a lot of PSP titles these days. Miami Vice used it, Gun Showdown will use it and now - blasphemy of blasphemies - Silent Hill Origins will too. We've finally had a chance to play the handheld prequel to the landmark horror series, and so far, it's shaping up to be a lot more action-oriented than its moody predecessors. Starring a bearded trucker named Travis, Origins will finally reveal how the sleepy town of Silent Hill was ...   » Read Full Silent Hill Origins preview

Get ready for a mind-melting trip back in time

One of the more mysterious games at last week's E3, appropriately enough, was Silent Hill Origins. According to Konami, that was intentional - the best way to get people interested is with mystery. With only a confusing video trailer full of images of a trucker in the night, meat hooks and a house full of disturbed spirits, we still aren't sure what the game is all about. Click "movies" up above to see it for yourself. We do know that this new PSP version of the popular series is not, as was ...   » Read Full Silent Hill Origins preview

In Silent Hill Origins for the PSP, they'll step into the boots of a waylaid trucker who finds himself trapped in the town somewhere between South Carolina and Hell. Set before the first game, this prequel will finally reveal what happened to make Silent Hill the way it is. Konami has promised that the game won't reveal too much of the ...   » Read Full Silent Hill Origins preview
