I recently saw the movie "Silent Hill." Though I disagree with 2 MAJOR discrepincies from the game, it was still true to what the game makers originally created back in '99.
1.The lead character is supposed to be the DAD not the MOM2.The ending to the movie, though creepy, is nothing like the game.
Watching the movie,I realized how brilliant the game was and decided to dig it out. Here's a THEN and NOW observation I've made between playing it THEN (99) and playing it NOW (06)1.GraphicsTHEN: awesomeNOW: not so muchfor it's time the graphics were great though the game play admittedly took some getting used to. (might as well hold down L2 the whole time or you get your S**t ruined)
2.Playing the game at night.THEN: not a good ideaNOW: STILL not a good ideadespite the dated graphics, the game is still VERY playable and still engaging. The makers should have gotten awards up the ASS for the sound effects alone. sometimes the background music gets so tense that you gotta stop for a second and get ready for some disturbing stuff! Example: I made it to the School last night and I forgot that on the 2nd floor when you go into the girls bathroom, you hear a little girl crying. it's bad enough that you don't see anything except what is in the light cone from that worthless pocket light you find, but it's REALLY quiet and all of the sudden you hear this sobbing. Even now, it gave me chills and I had to call it a night. (lets not even mention those little fleshy zombies that casually walk up and stab you from behind if you're not careful, or the little fetus/shadow thing that's supposed to help you, but actually scares the crap out of you)
3.SizeTHEN: ImpressiveNOW: STILL ImpressiveWhen I beat the game 7 (ok, ok, maybe it was 6) years ago, I was suprised that the whole thing fit on one disc (even for the PS1!)Granted, you can't go into EVERY house in Silent hill, but the amount of detail to explore all the streets for an entire town is still impressive. (and the 4 story School)Resident evil tried to do the same thing and in my opinion failed miserably. Silent Hill still stands alone and is STILL Scary as hell! | |

That movie was scary. I shall stay away from scary stuff from now on. I've turned into a big chicken who has nightmares and needs a night light. ugh!
For this reason, I will probably never play the game. I did like Sean Bean in it tho! haha! |

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
