Update: Konami has now stated that the original Best Buy production information page was incorrect. The listing has since been updated to remove the line regarding Pyramid Head. No further information has been released as of this time. Our original story has been left unchanged as a reference for this new information.
Recently, the team behind Silent Hill: Ascension (an interactive series based on the Silent Hill franchise) had to shut down the chat feature that was supposed to be an essential part of the entire interactive experience. Why? Well, it turns out that the chat function was being overworked/abused by fans who kept spamming often lurid requests regarding, among other things, the sexual acts they would like Pyramid Head to perform on them.
It was an entirely predictable outcome for a project that seemed to be a terrible idea from the start. Remarkably, though, that arguably isn’t...

Very few franchises have the staying power of Silent Hill. Many entries in that horror series are considered to be some of the scariest games ever made. Despite its legacy, though, the series’ sales have historically fallen well short of those of its main genre rival, Resident Evil.
During the PlayStation era, Konami and Capcom dominated the survival horror landscape with Silent Hill and Resident Evil. The franchises continued into the next two console generations, but while Resident Evil is still going strong, Silent Hill has fallen off the map. These days, many people only talk about the series to pine for P.T. and pass around rumors of new entries and remakes. Meanwhile, Resident Evil is in the middle of a second renaissance full of remakes, sequels, and cross-media adaptations.
So what happened to Silent Hill? Why can’t the franchise find that same success Resident Evil enjoys? That...

Ok, am I the only person a little weirded out that a whole slew of survival horror titles are coming out for Nintendo's 'family/elderly friendly' little white box? On top of the three Re titles Capcom announced a few weeks back, there's also Cursed Mountain, the oft-delayed Sadness, and Suda51's entry in the Fatal Frame series. Well, no we can add Silent Hill: Shattered Memories to that ever-growing list. The team over at GoNintendo managed to score some snapshots of the latest issue of Nintendo Power, which detail the upcoming Wii title. However, this is not a new entry, but a "reimagining" of the first Silent Hill, according to producer Tomm Hulett. "It's not a...

Konami has revealed that Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for Nintendo Wii will be a reimagining of the classic survival horror. In an interview with Nintendo Power, producer Tomm Hulett assured fans that the upcoming Wii release will not be a direct remake of the PlayStation original. "This is a reimagining of the first Silent Hill," explained Hulett. "It’s not a remake or a port. That’s an important distinction. It really feels like a new game. "The characters play different (more)...
