Heyyyy There fellow GSpoters! yep,yep it's me,came back to tell a few things about the first Next Gen...SILENT HILL! Ayep. like i wouldn't!

OK first thing's first though and that is..missed you ALL! I'm doing fine,hubby's doing fine and Athena ...well my little Princess doing great!

Honestly i cannot describe how i feel about her. She said MOM the other day and i almost had a heart attack! The rest of the day John was making fun of me cause i was walking inside our house mumbling "she said mom" so he was saying..GEEEE you DO look like a zombiiiieeeeee!

AHEM! Homecoming now.Well quit reading now if you don't want me to spoil it for you....Fair WARNING"

3rd playthrough now to unnlock the Good Ending. *yep my first ending was the BOGEYMAN.*should i say Bogayman? noez! anyway*

The game is good. Like totally good. Like very good? still can't make up my mind and i guess will take me a whiiiiile..because:

1: I was expecting the game to take place IN Silent Hill. After 3 and 4 i wanted a game where the character i'd control would be in SILENT HILL. ALL times.Yeah that's me.*cough

2: Before the game comes out i was keeping my mouth shut about Pyramid Head's appearance in this game. *PYRAMID HEAD NOT BOGEYMAN! ....*After beating it and get the Bogeyman ending and since you do not encounter him in game i say..they SHOULD let him rest in peace! But noez,he's back for the sake of fans. WELL if i listen even one fangirl/boy calling him Bogeyman i'm packing things,fly to States and blow up Double Helix's HQ and KONAMI for the aproval to high heaven. Done threatening. Seriously ...it is RIDICULOUS! This IS ridiculous.Not to mention PH movie version.*well he's nice..for eye candy*.He should stay in the movie like that and not in a game where as i mention above really he SHOULDN'T be there cause it doesn't make sense. His apearance. Anyway.

3: BUGS! Like...BUUUUUUGS! Shouldn't be careful what they release? they did it in a hurry. PS3 Version at least is full of bugs and glitches.I hear people talking about Major ones causing them to restart levels! Yep,it happened to me too as well. I restarted a whole lvl cause you get a Save point once in a bazillion/million years during a whole lvl *WHICH IS GOOD on the other hand cause it is SURVIVAL! * Yep.Inventory glitches KILL me literally especially when it comes to the Serum *we knew it as the ampule in previous SH Games...ahhhh Dr. Kaufman!

Well yeah no kidding it's awful to use an item just because your inv. glitches.!!! But this can be fixed since they can,they MUST patch it! so easy to download an update that will fix the bugs! right? RIGHT?

4: NO offense to the American dev. but fog and flashlight doesn't make SH! It lacks in the fear factor. I mean what the hell? since when a SH Protagonist had company? James had Maria yeah but still you were feeling ALOOOONE! And Henry had Eileen...but still the isolated feeling was there! SH5 didn't freaked my mind! that's where it lacks.It was more BOO scary *see RE and i love the Resident Evil series..you guys know me know that*but Silent Hill's meant to mess up your MIND! And there comes " Noone messes with your mind like the Japaneses DO! " No offense to anyone.

^.^

Heyyyy it DOESN'T SUCK!LOL look why:

Oh God! The environments! Plain Awesome! Perfectly designed.The lighting! Simply great. You can absolutelly get the feeling that you do see around you because you got a flashlight. If you turn it off...BLIND! Yeah i loved that but what the hell? if SH5 is not the most perfectly designed one then something's wrong with SH and next gen consoles. Right?

Sound/Music. Ah yep been always in love with Akira Yamaoka's work.

Plot. Loved the whole idea of the Founders.Tends to go towards the movie more though but i liked the movie so yeah *the Order part etc.* However i was afraid we wouldget a Silet movie Hill game..and yep that's what we got. Sad,true,still it doesn't bug me THAT much. *ugh i said from the start it will take a whiiiile to make up my mind about the 5th one.

Monsters. Hell yeah! Schisms freak the hell out of me *and i love the female side of Siam * Monsters play a major part in the games since they represent inner demons,fears,guilts etc. Get the Needler for example. I trully believe is strongly connected to Alex's mother. Yep. *needles,sewing machine* I'm briliant i know.

So the monsters were great! And the game had it's moments. Like with the nuts Judge. My..my that certain thing freaked me out. More on the action side again though and not that inner fear Silent Hill is supposed to create.

My fav. boss is Scarlet. I love EVERYTHING in this boss fight! The background story,the music the fight itself. The music. KUDOS AKIRA!

SUM IT UP? Yep a good one,more action,a good survival not the horror i was expecting "SH's horror* fans , old fans of the series know DO know what i mean. Not a letdown as many expected,not the best again.*how could it be anyways after the epic 1 and 2?

They did their best i think and the result was trully nice! *yeah we got the above issues but still i feel like playing it again and again*

And who knows? eventually it will grow in me?

Ahhhhh...last thing. They should have kept the rank and the sum up at the end of the game! Classic part of the series. But..i don't know?is this how SH works in next gen? Anyhow..i already look forward for SH6! *lunatic i know.*

Ahhhhh Team Silent,wish you were back!

Much love and till the next time take care of yourselves.

Thora-

I'd say your review of this game is pretty concise. Shame to hear that the horror factor isnt as apparent as it should be, replaced more with the action ( its, like, Silent Hill, wtf?!?! )... but it'll be one that will deserve a play through at least, looking forward to seeing all the new monsters and locales and the listening to the creepy new soundtrack

But on another note... SOOOOO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!!

So good to see a blog entry from you, Thora! The Halloween season is an appropriate time of year to walk around like a zombie!

Thora: I've missed you so badly. I hope you are well and I hope that beautiful baby you made is doing fantastic. I haven't dropped silent hill yet, I am playing dead space. I have been going back and forth,but you know I am addicted and of course will end up playing it and probably cursing it.

please come back and see us again. I know you are busy, I am as well, but some of us miss you tons. Take care

Hello there Thora! Well, you know how I feel about Silent Hill. So no worries in spoiling anything for me.

Glad to see your family is doing well.

We'd all like to see blogs more on a regular basis from you.

Maybe SH not being to much on the horror side is a good thing (well for me anyway ). So glad you, your hubby and your beautiful Athena are doing well

It's so good to hear from you again, like always we miss you and would like to hear from you more often. Much love to you and your family

OMG...it's you!! Glad to hear you and the family are doing great. I have been thinking about getting the new SH but there are just too many games coming out that I want it's too hard to decide.

I hope that you decide to post here a little more often...I want to see some more pics of the little one

Hey hey! She's back again! I think you're writing more on here than I am. *whoops* After seeing some reviews on SH Homecoming I was wondering when you would pop in to give some feedback. Not that you're a HUGE fan or anything. Well, it's nice that you have time to play *tries to hide jealousy*! No free time allowed- if you have some, I demand you hand it over to me. Hope all is well with mommyhood, and that your pretty girl is giving you smiles by the minute. Much love back...
