News TGS 11: Why Is Korn In The Trailer For Silent Hill: Downpour?
You know what? Silent Hill: Downpour actually looks pretty good
Sure, we doubt it will ever live up to the heights of the series, but then we don't expect it to. The original couple of Silent Hill games were extraordinary, so it's no surprise. What we don't understand is why Konami is doing its very best to give fans a bad impression. This TGS...

News Silent Hill: Downpour Certainly Looks The Part

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
The first is not so offensive; Downpour will include full support for stereoscopic 3D televisions, potentially enhancing the game's gloomy, psychological experience. The second announcement is pretty disappointing for Silent Hill fans...

Konami's released its launch trailer for Silent Hill: Downpour

The moment we hear the spattering of rain-drops, our eyes light up. We're not really sure why, but there's something wicked about games that take place in the rain, right? As you'd expect, Konami's upcoming Silent Hill: Downpour has a big emphasis on rain. As a celebration for...
News Ever Fancied Designing Your Very Own Tombstone?
Probably not, right
You have? Uh-huh. That's a bit weird. Anyway. Konami wants to see your very best "spine chilling sculpture" as part of a Silent Hill: Downpour contest on Facebook.
