I bought this game yesterday after pining for it for quite awhile (had to play Red Dead and Alan Wake first) and I have already logged 8 hours into it. And the time literally flies by when you get into it, this game is amazing. As a horror survival fan, and a fan of classic Sierra Adventure PC games like King's Quest and Police Quest, I very much enjoy walking around and exploring, solving puzzles, sub par graphics and having a fairly minimal amount of combat. I like storylines! This game is all those things, I love the free roam concept and quirky characters and side quests, I like not spending the entirety of the game fighting, I like feeling like I am actually doing something, as opposed to just shooting everything that moves. It's a nice departure. And at $19.99, it was an acceptable risk to buy this game, and I'm glad I did cause it is worth every penny (Unlike that overly priced Alan Wake junk, I was not a fan, DP is so much better!). It really frustrates me to read the reviews on this game, they are so negative, it's like the reviewers didn't even give it a chance before bashing it's (admittedly) strange controls, less than stellar graphics and voice acting/storyline. As for the controls, they can be changed in the options menu, which helps quite a bit if your used to a different configuration...and why do the graphics need to be stunningly lifelike for me to enjoy a game, does seeing the characters pores really make a difference? Like I said before, I grew up in the age of Sierra and Lucas Arts (Grim Fandango!! ​) and believe me, nobody was complaining about the quality of graphics on classic games like those. Games even BETTER than alot of modern games (I may be biased a little bit, but still). And as for the dialogue, it is NOT that bad, some of the videos make it look completely ridiculous, but thats because they only show the ridiculous parts, most of it is actually really good and who is really gonna take a guy who talks to his other personality and sees stuff in coffee seriously, the developers obviously didn't, and thats the charm of it. To sum it up, I guess if you have an attention span greater than that of a gnat, you would most likely enjoy this game, despite the few flaws it actually has.

Cute babby, made me think of this video:

Im bringing this topic back from the dead, I came back to GW with the hopes of reclaiming my old radio show, I honestly miss doing my hour long shows and chatting in IRC and introducing GW members to some new and maybe old and forgotten gems. I think it was a great, interactive aspect of GW and something alot of people would be into if it came back, with that big radio button at the top of the screen and all.... Bring back GW Radio!!!!

Oh my God, I should visit GW more often, Steel has passed away??? I am truly saddened to hear that, he was such a great guy. I wish I had a chance to wish him well. Damn, RIP Steel

I'm going to go to school to be a funeral director. I am compassionate, and think it would be cool to work in a funeral home and drive a hearse, hell ya.

AX, LOOKING GOOD!!! ;-)

long live the official zombie crew!!

P.S. Isn't my neice adorable?? And don't talk about my sisters nipples you pervs.

Me and my Kitty, Felix:



My kitty is so mucher cuter than yours!!:



Zombie picture, cause its what I do:

I was thinking, why the hell is Pyramid Head even in this...

At least his appearance in #2 made sense.

I know, it confused me when I finished the game, cause you only see him once...but then again, after the scene with Pyramid Head in the hotel, I was scared of moving around the halls and rooms too quickly, certain that he would be around the corner....so it did build up suspense. I was always wondering, where will he turn up next? But then for him not to show up again at all? What was the point? But I guess the Silent Hill series isn't Silent Hill without him.

By the way, did anyone else find the zombie nurses extremely hot in this game? Im a girl, and im not into pussy....but still. Hot damn girls! I wish I had that kind of cleavage, haha 

it looked like the exact same pyramid head to me...you only really see him in one scene in the entire game, but he looked the same to me...

I played this game twice already, being a huge Silent Hill fan, I went and got it the day it came out. And honestly, I thought it was amazing. The monsters were all new except for the Zombie nurses, but obviously they are a staple in any Silent Hill game. Some of the monsters were extremely hard to beat, but once you figure out thier behaviors, it makes it a whole lot easier to dodge attacks and counter attack. And for whoever said there was only 1 monster per hour or whatever, you were very misinformed, on normal difficulty level, there were monsters all over the damn place, sometimes you would be surrounded by 3 or 4 at a time, and that creates a serious anxiety attack, haha. Some of the bosses were really hard too, some not so much, but I found saving all my ammunation for the bosses was the best strategy, because you avoid alot more hits and save more health drinks, serums, etc. I personally thought the puzzles could have been a bit more difficult, I didnt feel all that challenged, but maybe im just smarter than most ;-) As for the environment, one word, amazing. I thought the environment in this game was spectacular, you can actually move pieces of furniture around, interact with the environment, which was never possible in all other installments of Silent Hill. Another new feature was the lack of a fixed camera angle, which was sooooooooooooooooo nice. You can actually look around at the environment and the bodies of monsters (I think some were actually anatomically correct too, haha). Ax, my old friend, you will so not be dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!
