Platform: Playstation 2
Developer: Konami
Approximate Completion Time: 9 hours 30 minutes
Just a quick word for now as I'm very ill and exhausted. SH:O is a direct prequel to the original Silent Hill, surprisingly released first for the PSP but thankfully ported to PS2. It isn't the prettiest game in the series, but the story and setting are as good as they come. This is the first Silent Hill game I have played through and completed with no help whatsoever from Gamefaqs or a guide. To quote from the holy film Labyrinth "I could never do it before! I think I'm getting smarter!". I also managed to get the good ending but after reading about the various endings and accolades you can obtain, realized it was the default ending. Oh well, still a righteous video game victory in my eyes. I enjoyed this offering as much or more than the true console titles of the series and I'm very grateful I had the means to purchase it immediately upon release. Now I am very eager for Silent Hill 5 on the Playstation 3, which in addition to my wild dreams of Final Fantasy 7 being remade was one of my main selling points for the system. Stay tuned until next time as I continue to plow through my backlog of unfinished console games like a energy drink driven juggernaut!
