News When We Think Of Silent Hill, We Don't Necessarily Think Of Korn
Konami's released a double-barrel of information regarding its upcoming survival horror title, Silent Hill: Downpur

News Anyone Still Playing Metal Gear Online? There's A New Patch...
.. Well, kudos to Konami for supporting their game we suppose. We'd forgotten Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots even had an online component, but here's a new patch for that very mode.
