"Silent Hill 4"

I'm not one to usually go out and buy a Silent Hill game, but I can't help being a little curious about the one coming out this Friday. Seems really messed up and cool. Anyone else been looking into this game ? Could do with a good horror game to play. ;-)

Should keep me busy till Star Wars Battlefront comes out. :-)

I was going to pick this up yesturday but I decided to go for Riddick. How would you compare it to SH1/2/3? As from what reviewers have said it's more hack 'n slash rather than requiring you to think as much as previous games.

Well I picked it up today and I think its the nuts. :-) Great combo of freaky weird stuff and horror as always. I don't wanna ruin the story and stuff for people who might be looking to get it, but one thing I do love is the "peeping" moments, where nobody can hear you trapped in your room, but you can see and hear them talking outside your door while looking through the peep hole. ;-)

Not to mention another little hole that comes along later. ;-p
Theres plenty of other stuff I could tell about, but as I said, I don't wanna ruin it. :-)

Excellent game though !

Silent 3 was great. A couple of bad moments wrestling with the camera and an *appalling* script, but overall a hugely unsettling game.

The last section made my flesh creep.

Whereas Resident Evil offers little more than cheap scares a la "cat in the box" moments, Silent Hill relies on a slow buildup throughout the game. Most of the weirdest moments leave you scratching your head thinking, "what just happened there?"

Aww Bless. Did Goaty Woaty see a scary picture in his picture book? :P

Haven't played the 3rd one but might pick this one up.

Yeah this one looks pretty gory and freaky - looking forward to it. :-)

I remember playing a demo of silent hill for the playstation, i was walking down a sleazy allyway when i was suddenly attacked by a load of 2 foot midget mutants with knives.

I cacked my pants, completed the demo and havent been near it since.
